The Council of Mallorca's councillor for tourism, Andreu Serra, says that the new route has opened up the north American market and that marketing for next year will be "to the maximum". He adds that flight occupancy is "optimal" and that discussions with the airline will consider scheduling flights from May to October from next year (as opposed to the current June to September). A weekly flight during the winter months is potentially also on the cards. "There is the demand and the airline is looking favourably at meeting it."
On July 13, the Palma365 Foundation will be making a presentation at the Midtown Loft & Terrace on Fifth Avenue in New York. The managing director Palma365, Pedro Homar, says that the event will be attended by the mayor, José Hila, the tourism councillor, Elena Navarro, and representatives from various leading hotel chains.

These so called wealthy Americans are coming on very cheap 1,000 euros all included packages. Whoever claimed they will be spending over 2,000 euros per day is insane! They are all staying in American chain hotels here, Sheraton, Hilton, etc, who have made huge promotional all inclusive packages. The wealthy Americans come in private jets and rent yachts.
Only one problem customers are finding, the flight is not direct, via Amsterdam! My American friend is departing next week and only hopes it is direct!
