Upper Crust

Gate-side sandwiches at Upper Crust in Terminal T

Upper Crust sits airside in Terminal T at Palma de Mallorca (PMI), right in the main departures area after security. It’s a grab-and-go bakery counter focused on filled baguettes and pastries, so think fast food more than sit-down meal. You order at the counter, pay, and either take a tray to nearby shared seating or carry it back toward your gate.

Most baguette sandwiches run around €6–€8, with pastries like croissants and muffins closer to €2–€3. Portions are decent for a short-haul flight, especially the longer baguettes that can easily pass as a full lunch. Coffee drinks land in the €2–€3.50 range, depending on size and whether you go for cappuccino or latte.

Menu basics usually cover ham and cheese, chicken, tuna, and vegetarian options in standard white or multigrain baguettes. If you want something that survives a flight, the cold sandwiches do better than the hot-pressed ones, which can get soggy after 30–40 minutes in a bag. Pre-packed juices, water, and soft drinks are sold in bottles and cans, handy for boarding.

Upper Crust in PMI generally opens with the early departures wave, around 5:00–6:00 a.m., and stays open through the late evening flights, often past 10:00 p.m. Exact hours track the T terminal schedule, so very late off-peak days may close earlier. If you’re catching a 6:30 a.m. Ryanair or easyJet flight, this is one of the first food counters likely to be open.

One practical tip: lines spike 30–45 minutes before big UK and German departures, so if you see a wave of passengers at your gate number on the FIDS, grab your sandwich first and then settle in rather than joining the pre-boarding rush.
