IR on its way. Its a work in progress. 33 hours in and taking break for a bit of summer VFR flying.
There is no problem with customs at Son Bonet if arriving from Schengen - checked with all there - but there is a problem with AVGAS. You must have a VAT number or its no AVGAS. We solved this using owners VAT number - but it was close to getting easy jet back

Parking at son bonet which is a big field is 4 euros a day or similar. I was quoted 270 euros for 2 hours parking and handling at Palma even if you were able to get in VFR there would be no point at that cost. And they have no AVGAS

Son Bonet field is really excellent and so close to Palma that there is no distance difference. Just fly in from a Schengen country and then its not a problem. DO NOT fly in without a VAT number and expect to leave with more fuel than you arrived with. It wont happen. Does seem an odd rule.
