Landed here for a night in December 2025 with a Piper Arrow (1247kg MTOM).
Efficient handling and friendly personnel. Relatively cheap AVGAS (2,72€/L) arrived by fuel truck 10 min. after landing. All in all, fees are way too high, adding up to 316€ for one night parking for two crew and one pax.
From June to October there is no overnight parking available at all.
Civil Airfield Mallorca/Son Bonet (LESB)

We were there in August 2025 with a P28T, MTOW 1247kg. Parking from June–August cannot be reserved, but according to the aerodrome there is always availability. Tip: During that period, parking per day is more expensive than off-season, but at the beginning of any month you can pay for a full month of parking (ca. 150€), which is significantly cheaper.
Upon checking in at the aerodrome you receive comprehensive information regarding airspace, arrival/departure procedures, and frequencies. The flight plan must be opened and closed via "Mallorca Operations". There is an aerodrome frequency for the traffic pattern and the vicinity, and an additional air-to-air frequency for the island of Mallorca itself. With a bit of preparation it is straightforward and logical, and the local pilots make excellent use of it.
We did not refuel. There is a maintenance facility on the field.
Clearance to enter Class A airspace was also possible on the northbound return flight.
