According to travel agencies, direct flights have been severely limited, with only a little over half a dozen available. This is in contrast to Mallorca, where retirees can travel to nearly 80 destinations in the country without having to transfer at another national terminal. The period to book the first reservation started last Thursday and ended yesterday. Starting today, a second journey can be purchased.
