Duty Free Prices at Palma Airport in Majorca Spain

What are the prices of Cigarettes and Alcohol at Mallorca Airport and are they cheaper?

During a visit to Alcudia this month, June 2022, I was interested to see whether I could get some duty free Alcohol and Cigarettes at bargain price. Either on resort or at the Palma Airport Duty Free Shop.

My first stop was a Tabac shop in Alcudia. The prices varied but almost all 200 sleeve of cigarettes were in the 40s and 50s euros. The cheapest being 41.50 Euros. I didn’t buy any and decided to wait until I got to Palma Airport Duty Free. I did buy a bottle of vape e-liquid though which was an expensive 5 euros for 10ml!

Next stop was a quick look at Alcohol prices in a local SPAR in Alcudia. The prices weren’t too bad. Especially the large cans of San Miguel which were less than 1 euro each. The Spirits were also reasonably priced in the SPAR, and whilst I didn’t do a good comparison to the Duty free prices, nothing seemed vast in price difference.

Are Cigarette Prices Cheaper at the Mallorca Duty Free Shop?

Finally, I checked the Cigarette prices in Majorca Airport Duty Free Shop. They came in 2 prices one for those travelling within the EU and one for those travelling outside of the EU. I for example was travelling to the UK outside of the EU. The later being significantly cheaper. Despite this the cheapest I found was 41.40 euros for a 200 sleeve. A saving of just 10 cents from the Tobac shop!

So is it worth it buying your cigarettes from Palma Airport or better at your resort? Well if you are travelling from Mallorca / Majorca to another EU destination then you should definitely buy them local and NOT at the Airport as you will save lots of euros. If travelling outside the EU. i.e to UK then either option will be fine but I would recommend getting them at the duty free. Not to save 10c but just for the convenience of not having to carry them around and saving holiday time from being wasted in looking for a Tobac shop.

Faster Payments Service – How to Pay Credit Card Online

How to make a Faster Payment to Credit Card

This faster payments procedure was used for an Aqua Credit Card but will be identical for any other cards.

I recently signed up for an Aqua Mastercard and soon found myself having problems making payments through their online service. The first couple of payments went through fine and everything seemed rosy until on or around the third attempt at a payment I started to encounter difficulties. The first thing that happened was I got a duplicate payment message. I shrugged it off as I had paid a little earlier in the day and the message said “we have already received your payment for today” or something similar. Continue reading
