Train, plane or bus from Palma to Inca?
Train versus plane between Palma and Inca comes down to time and hassle: the train leaves from and arrives in the heart of the city, with no baggage limits and no queues; the plane may be quicker in the air but rarely door to door. Buses exist and are cheap, but for comfort and reliability the train is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first.

How much does the train from Palma to Inca cost?
Train ticket prices from Palma to Inca move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.
Just ask for two or three departures and we send the cost of each, so you can see how much the time of day changes the Palma to Inca train fare. We also flag family and group fares when they apply, which is where most people save the most.
Cheapest train ticket from Palma to Inca: how to pay less
The cheapest train ticket from Palma to Inca is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our booking desk applies the same rules on every booking:
- Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
- Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
- For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more passengers often unlock a lower rate
- Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
- Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are usually the cheapest
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
When you fill out the form, mention if you are flexible. We compare the fares across the day and send the cheapest Palma to Inca train ticket first, then the alternatives.
How to book train tickets from Palma to Inca with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book train tickets from Palma to Inca is to let us do it. The form above asks only for the essentials; everything else - seat preferences, a pushchair, a bicycle, a connection later that day - you let us know on WhatsApp when we message you to confirm the seats and the price. We provide the ticket in your name, explain how boarding works at Palma Intermodal (Plaça d'Espanya) and stay reachable during the journey.
- Step 1 - fill in the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you by WhatsApp with the available departures, the seats and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it to you; we stay in touch until you arrive in Inca
Because a person books the ticket, not a machine, we can do the things a booking site cannot: hold seats together for a family, pick the coach nearest the luggage racks, choose a quiet carriage, or line up the Palma to Inca train with a transfer from your hotel to Palma Intermodal (Plaça d'Espanya) and another from Inca to your hotel in Inca.

Departures on the Palma to Inca line are spread across the day (every 15-30 minutes), all operated by SFM Mallorca train.
