Thanks for replies,i know i have been going to Ibiza for the 12years,last time we was there we were told there was going to be tunnels done,as we didnt go last year just wanted to find out if it had happened yet!!!!!!
I'll be there in June and will let you know when I get back.
just to let those know who travel d.i.y. that thomsons have gone back to multi check in desks.so like me on weds 4th june i had to wait with 3 other flights taking off that night.so gone are the days when you would be one of the 1st in line.i told them it does not work.a few years ago 50 people nearlly missed there flight.they say its the way forward.will we see how long it last.
make sure you get to airport in time.road works are still not done yet? and the slip road to playa den bossa-don toni/plam baech/ is shut

Monarch and First Choice are still operating the 'Old' way - maybe 3 or 4 desks for a particular flight so getting there before the coaches worked fine with them.
As a word of warning - Monarch were very keen onf luggage allowance - we were 3kg over the 60kg allowance that we had and they wanted 27Euro !
Our transfer driver told me that the roadworks will be finished by the end of June so they won't cause chaos in peak season.

We came back on 4 June with First Choice and there were 5 desks processing 3 flights but we made sure we were there half an hour before coaches and it was only about 20 min check in. I think it's pot luck about paying extra on luggage as the 2 girls at our check in were arguing about charging or not!! Fortunately the people before us were very over the limit and weren't charged so when we were 2kg over my husband commented politely(in fluent spanish) that it would not be fair to charge us so they didn't!! Good luck!

I returned home on the 11th June from Ibiza with Sunset Thomas Cook and they had 4 flights all together in 8 desks. They didn't seem to bother with the weight of the cases if it was not to heavy. We were ok as ours were bang on but others we had met were over but did not get charged.
we are off to Dont Toni on saturday, is there a problem getting to the hotel if the slip roads closed????
if your on transfer no problem.but taxi will have to take long way round thats all.
Yeah we have transfer so that should be ok then. Lets hope we dont get caught up in a bomb scare this year. 
Last year my husband broke his leg 4 days before we were due to go. So i ended up taking 4 kids on my own. Then when we got there we stood in the midday heat because of a bomb scare. Arrr the joys of traveling

We got back from Santa Eulalia last week, and on check-in at Ibiza for the return flight, we were charged for excess luggage.
We were 4kg over (64kg over 3 cases), and were charged 44 euros (11 euro/kg) - we didn't have enough euros left, and only had one small pice of hand luggage, so couldn't transfer anything from any of the cases.
When we told the guy taking the payments that we didn't have enough euros, he said we could pay in sterling, and charged us £40!!
Now, in any exchange rate, surely 44 euro doesn't equate to £40 sterling??
Anyway, as there was a large queue behind us, and we had the sterling, we just paid it - but weren't happy!

hi johnson293, thanks for the warning,so it seems they are really tightening up at ibiza airport now then, that has convinced me to invest in some (digital)luggage scales for sure now, iv'e been dithering as whether to get some for ages!! we are off there in a couple of weeks time. Just done a quick convert and at todays rate 44 euros works out at just under £36 - just shows how much they can make if they do this to others as well eh. i would have paid up like you did rather than hold the queue up. - dotty
