At check-in, have your confirmation email ready along with valid photo ID, such as a passport or identity card. If you're travelling with a pet, bring along their vaccination and insurance paperwork, and if you booked using a resident discount, be prepared to show proof of address too.

The city of Palma is located on the south coast of the Spanish island of Majorca and is the capital city of the Balearic Islands. The city lies on the Bay of Palma and is surrounded to the north and west by a mountain range, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, called the Serra de Tramuntana. The city's history dates back to Roman times when the site of the present day city was an established Roman camp. Over the course of its history, the city has also come under the rule of the Byzantine Empire, the Moors and James I of Aragon.
The city is now very popular with tourists with attractions like La Seu, the city's cathedral. Built on the site of an earlier mosque, construction on the cathedral began in 1229 and was finally completed in 1601. Also in the city is the Parc de la Mer (the Park of the Sea) which is overlooked by the cathedral and is where visitors can relax under a large yellow and blue canopy which provides shade to a row of wooden benches.
Palma Ferry Port is located on the south western side of the city and provides excellent views of the cathedral as ferries depart. The busy port has good connections to major roads leading out of the city. Destinations available from the port include Ibiza, Mahon, Barcelona, Valencia and Denia.
The Spanish city of Denia is located on the northern edge of the Province of Alicante and lies on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The town sits facing the Balearic Islands and has the mountains of the Montgo Natural Park as an impressive backdrop. The city is popular with tourists and has many things to see and do. A popular site is the ruined castle which stands guarding the town and has lovely views out to the city's marina. There is also the Montgo Natural Park and the Torre del Gerro, both of which have marked walking trails to enjoy.
Also of interest in the city is its marina which has a raised promenade, 20 km of coastline which has some lovely beaches along it, the fish market, the tree lined main shopping street, the old town and a number of museums. Worth a visit are the 18th century Church of the Asuncion, the 17th century Atarazanas (dockyards), the cloister and church of San Antonio and the 18th century neoclassical town hall building.
The city is also home to a number of fiestas but is perhaps best known for the running of the bulls fiesta which takes place every July and has been declared a National Tourist Interest.
