Once you have provisionally booked your flying course at Ses Salines, you are welcome to arrange your own flights, accommodation and car hire as a package holiday through a travel agent. If you shop around, you can sometimes get bargain holiday deals through the main package holiday companies. You’ll need, of course, to be within reasonable travelling distance of the aerodrome, so you’d need to specify a choice of named resorts when you book the holiday. The popular resorts of Cala d’Or and Cala Figuera on Mallorca’s east coast are respectively 25 minutes and 10 minutes drive from the airfield. They both have great beaches and all the amenities you’ll need to keep the rest of the family happy while you spend all their money on your flying course! If you want to base your holiday closer to Palma, the very popular resorts of El Arenal and Ca’n Pastilla (“the Playas de Palma”) are about 45 minutes’ drive away. You might find that’s a bit far, given that in the summer months we split the day into early morning (07.00 – 10.00) and late afternoon (18.30 – 20.30), with a long break during the hottest part of the day. That would mean two return trips each day.
Most of the package holiday companies only operate April-October, so if you book a flying course in the low season (November – March) you’ll need to book your accommodation through Microflights. We’re happy to sort out your accommodation for you in the summer months too, though expect to pay a bit more during the holiday season. If you’re planning on bringing your partner with you, sharing a double room usually reduces B&B costs per person.
For those travelling solo, we’re able to arrange very reasonably-priced accommodation at a small number of hostals (small hotels) and hotels in the reso rts of ColÚnia de Sant Jordi and Cala SantanyŪ, which are within 10 minutes’ drive of the aerodrome.
