Practical tips
Just like last-minute high-speed trains, flights tend to cost more as the date approaches. Book online as soon as your plans are fixed, especially for summer weekends, and compare dates in the table.
Your flight leaves from Catania Fontanarossa (Vincenzo Bellini) airport. Check the departure airport on your booking confirmation, as Sicily has other airports, and avoid the wrong-station mistakes travellers make in bigger Italian cities.
Cheap fares often include only a small personal item, with cabin and hold bags as paid extras. Compare the baggage allowance for each fare so a low price does not turn into a surprise charge at the airport.
Without a car, the Alibus shuttle from the city centre and the central station is a simple option, and taxis are available too. Leave a generous margin for traffic, particularly on busy summer days.
You are travelling from Italy to Malta, so carry a valid passport or national ID card, depending on your nationality. Check the entry requirements for your situation before you leave, and keep the document in your hand luggage.
