Palma → Barcelona → Home

An early start, but an easy one: the hotel is 2 km from PMI and checks out from 03:00. Then a relaxed layover in Barcelona before heading home.

🗓️

Today's schedule

~6:15 AM · check out
🏨 Leave Hotel Ciutat Jardí
✅ The hotel checks out from 03:00, so the early departure is explicitly fine, and PMI is only ~2 km away (5 to 8 min). This is much gentler than the ~5:30 AM start the old city-centre plan required. Leave ~6:15 if you still need fuel. If you filled the tank on Tuesday afternoon as recommended, ~6:30–6:40 is fine — worth the extra sleep after a late finale dinner.
~6:30–6:45 AM
🚗 Rental car return — PMI
Avis — booked for a 10:00 AM return, which is much too late. Note the desk is shut: Avis PMI runs 07:30 AM – midnight, so this goes through the 24-hour drop-off / key box, unstaffed. Photograph and video the car before you walk away: all sides, roof, interior, fuel gauge, odometer, key into the box, timestamped. On an unattended return that's your only defence against a fuel or damage claim. Avis PMI: (34) 902 110 261.
8:35 AM → 9:35 AM ✓ Booked
✈️ Palma (PMI) → Barcelona (BCN)
Vueling VY3903.
Layover
☕ ~3h40m in Barcelona
Comfortable buffer to get from the domestic arrivals to international check-in and security — grab a real breakfast, no need to rush.
1:15 PM departure ✓ Booked
✈️ Barcelona (BCN) → Saskatoon (YXE)
Air Canada, 1 stop via Toronto (YYZ), arrive 6:51 PM same day (13h36m incl. connection, partly on Air Canada Rouge). Aeroplan points + $1,000 CAD. Seats are in your phone companion app.
🎒

Remember & pack today

  • Full repack the night before — everything needs to be ready for a pre-dawn checkout
  • Return the Avis car at PMI with a full tank, ~6:30–6:45 AM, via the key box (desk doesn't open until 07:30)
  • Photo + video the car at drop-off: all sides, roof, interior, fuel gauge, odometer, key into the box
  • Set an early alarm — the whole day hinges on the 8:35 AM PMI flight
  • Airport buffer time for BCN security + international check-in during the layover
  • Charge phone/devices for the long trip home
  • Any souvenirs or duty-free considerations
  • A moment to look back: this is the last day
