They weren't too quick on Thursday at about 1300, probably a few flights together. Very frustrating but very helpful staff. I hope it's just teething troubles.
The gates are a different design to the ones that were originally installed. Those had a two stage process where you scanned your passport and fingerprint then used a fingerprint reader to go through a separate gate. That was a refreshingly great design. Then again, I am obsessed by queueing theory.

Hi Jimbo
We were at the airport last week and there were no delays at all. One of the swiftest we've had actually.

Even though my youngest is 16 years old and 6 foot tall we still have to go in the queue for the passport booth along with the other 100 families on the plane....

I find the Palma ones easier to use than the Gatwick ones which seem a bit temperamental - however, I agree that it's annoying that 16 year old aren't allowed to use them! (Especially as the age of consent is 16 in Spain, so presumably they regard 16 year olds as adults.....) Anyway, am just back from PP for the second time in a month and am pleased to report that on both occasions I sailed through with no delays whatsoever. There was a team of airport employees very proactively showing people what to do and keeping things moving. Obviously it will be busier later into the season but they are certainly doing a good job of troubleshooting any potential problems.

We arrived yesterday morning at 11am and walked straight up to a machine, no queues at all.

They parked JET2 nearly in Palma
Bus to the farthest end of the terminal
Then walk all the way back to the new passport control.
Walk back again to the other end then go over the bridge to luggage reclaim.
Yes you have guessed it .
Last baggage belt in the hall.Another marathon hike.
Not a part of the airport tour missed.
I needed a beer when we eventually arrived in P.P
It was easier leaving than arriving.

Passport Control at Palma
No problems whatsoever. Very quick, very efficient and helpful staff. Also, for the record, Jet2 staff were among the friendliest and helpful of any air company I have experienced in the last few years.

I thought it was only me that thought that. But your are correct. It does take longer. But, at Glasgow one busy September late night security clearance (three flights worth, the security gentleman I was cleared rapidly by, wished me a happy birthday.
I had forgotten the significance of the day (honest) and the time he had checking my passport was measured in seconds. Made up for all the other delays that year.
Cheers,
Jimbo
