According to the Schengen Agreement, citizens of several European countries and most North American countries are not required to have a visa. However, visitors may not stay more than 90 days within any 180-day period, unless they acquire a visa. You will need a valid passport to gain entry into the region.

  • Does it matter which side of the United States I’m flying from?

    Booking a flight to Sicily from West Coast airports such as Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) will be much cheaper than booking flights from the East Coast. However, while flights from the East Coast or Midwest —such as Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (CHI)—may be more expensive, they are also more frequent.

  • Should I fly directly to the smaller Sicilian islands or book a nonstop flight from the main island?

    Nonstop flights to the smaller islands of Lampedusa and Pantelleria are more expensive and may take up more time due to extra stops in other cities or countries. Booking a flight to Sicily will cost you less if you land at either Palermo Airport or Catania Fontanarossa International Airport. Flights to both airports can be booked with only one additional stop, while flights to Comiso Airport are much more expensive and make multiple stops.

    A flight to Catania Fontanarossa International Airport will leave you with a 2h 18m drive to the Tindari Archaeological Park located in the northern Sicilian town of Tindari.

  • What should I know if I want to fly to Sicily in June?

    You should take into account that there are many festivals and celebrations in the summer, such as the Taormina FilmFest and the San Paolo Holiday. Therefore, the price and availability of tickets in June can vary, so we recommend that you book them at least two months in advance.

Your guide to booking flights to Sicily

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If you can plan ahead, the sweet spot for booking your flight is 25 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 9% lower than last-minute bookings (made within 2 weeks of departure). Not ready to commit? Set a Price Alert and we'll let you know when prices change.
  • If your travel dates are flexible, February is usually the cheapest month to fly, while June tends to be the most expensive. Check the best-time-to-travel chart on this page to see how fares change throughout the year.
  • Flying on a Monday is usually the cheapest, while Thursday tends to run about 15% more expensive. If you can flex your travel days it's an easy saving. If not, widening your search to nearby airports or a layover can help.
  • If you're watching your budget, consider flying into Palermo Punta Raisi (PMO). It has had the lowest average airfare over the past 12 months. Just keep in mind any cost of onward travel.
  • Palermo is the most popular destination in Sicily. Start your trip here and then check out these other KAYAK traveler favorites: Taormina, Catania and Siracusa.
  • Consider a layover to Sicily, it can cost less than flying nonstop. Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) is typically the cheapest place to connect.
  • While there are six airports around the islands of Sicily, only four—Palermo Airport (PMO), Catania Fontanarossa International Airport (CTA), Comiso Airport (CIY), and Trapini Airport (TPS)—are located on the main island. Lampedusa Airport (LMP) and Pantelleria Airport (PNL) are located on nearby islands.
  • Most flights will land at the two main airports in the region of Sicily: Catania Fontanarossa International Airport and Palermo Airport. From either of these airports, you can board other flights to the surrounding islands with Ryanair, Alitalia, or Air Malta.
  • It may be best to fly to Catania Fontanarossa International Airport if you want to tour the eastern part of the island, while a flight to the Palermo airport is great for visitors wanting to tour the northwestern region of Sicily.
  • Landing at the Palermo airport will put visitors a short drive away (25 min) from Sicily’s capital, Palermo.
  • To reach Parco delle Madonie, consider booking a flight to the Palermo airport. From here, the drive will take about 1h 24m to reach the park.

The flight itself was fine, food was expired and gross, staff were mostly amazing! KLM messed up rebooking for our first two flights that got cancelled and we almost didn’t make it to Amsterdam for an additional two days

The flight itself was fine, food was expired and gross, staff were mostly amazing! KLM messed up rebooking for our first two flights that got cancelled and we almost didn’t make it to Amsterdam for an additional two days

I think I previously submitted my feedback about flight lead Katherine in a different field by mistake. Please see those comments. Comments for Hyd to AMS are it was good. The flight lead and service met expectations for satisfactory high quality service but the flight lead did not stand out as exceptional as did the leads on the other two flights so I don’t remember anything specific one way or the other besides the fact I was satisfied.

Had to cancel and rebook, KLM connection was cancelled prior to departure, ended up flying to Munich on non-Delta carrier.

The crew were unprofessional with a racist element. I was physically abused as well from one of the crew members

They forgot to serve food and the crew was very unfriendly. Never experienced such a bad KLM flight. Usually fly from Toronto. New York was different.

Over 1 Hr delay. No APU so no AC on ground. Plane was hot during boarding and then they closed the doors over 20 minutes before engine start so interior of plane was steamy hot and stuffy. Could have been helped by opening doors until ready to depart.

My flight was delayed by 6 hours then I missed BOTH of my connecting flights, I then had to stay in the AIRPORT at JFK because soooooo many people also suffered from missing flights and there was no hotels available. I would like to be compensated for this experience! I had to stay in the airport for over 16 hours!

Cabin crew were excellent, very proffesional, polite and friendly, in flight snack was underwhelming, a packet of cheese biscuits, im sure KLM could run to a sandwich!

The baggage service at Malpensa was the worst ever. We wanted for over an hour without any information, they broke my suitcase, and the services of the local luggage services company was below any usual services level of a KLM partner.

All and all pretty good. It’s crowded but that is what flying is all about. But no complaints otherwise.

Excellent service, I love the soft blush pink mood lighting on the 767-400ER during meal service. The overhead gasper vents on the 767-400ER were also very strong with a lot of airflow to keep me comfortable on my flight.

Our bag was lost so that made unnecessary chaos On our trip

More up to date movies and a live TV option like ESPN, Fox News or CNN. All they had were movies and Spotify Music and some games. Also, wifi on international flights isn't free for Skymiles members like on domestic flights via T-Mobile.

7 hour delay for mechanical reasons Handled badly by crew and delta personnel

Flight was canceled so it was not a great experience. Boarded, then deboarded. Delayed, boarded a new plane then deboarded the 2nd plane and flight was canceled. Then booked a fight to Rome and took a train to Venice the next day. Lost an entire day +

They split our family into two trips due to flight overbooking. Horrible experience.

The plane was FREEZING SEATS UNCOMFORTABLE Otherwise smooth Thank you

Lost luggage! No representative of the airline present at the airport. Air France contracted the service out to a 3rd party service. The service has no ability to track the missing bag or provide a time frame on its arrival.

Upon landing our breakfast were left, which means all the tray tables were were down for on landing . Isn’t there an FAA have rule about that

Crew was great. Food and entertainment was great. There was plenty of leg room sitting in a economy seat. That being said put thicker padding at the lower part of the seat. The person seated behind me was very tall and their knees were pushed into my back the entire flight. I understand having to move your legs but it was moving into my back for a 9 hour flight!

Thank you! Our flight was amazing! Short layover turned to be not just doable, it was so sufficient, fast, clear! Helpful informative boards and incredibly professional kind people in Zurich assisted in every step! I’m ver grateful to everyone there! 🙂🙏

The space is getting smaller and smaller … and I know Swiss cares about people. Why not be countercultural and make people with normal amounts of money feel cared for? That much more space or recline would make a big difference.. just a way for people to feel invested in versus having to forgo all comfort just because it is simply not financially feasible to cash out for more leg room and this and that? You would have even more people book with you and instead of having people fly like sardines you could fly a whole other plane? Innovation is Swiss! So be Swiss and come up with a revolutionary way to have “common people” fly extraordinarily;)

Made us gate check carry ons Then didn’t get them on the plane. Service they used didn’t deliver our carry ons for more than a day Total mess

They didn't give us Nothing to eat, come on..... 1 package of chips and a glass of soda won't do anything to the company

Flight was diverted from Firenze to Pisa causing delay and inconvenience.

Checked me out of my connecting flight despite having enough time to transfer, had to check in again at the gate. Then they lost my luggage.

The pilot was wonderful and enthusiastic and introduced himself over the intercom. We all felt in good hands. Crew were all super friendly and especially the young , gentleman crew member. Everything Swiss airlines represents. Hospitality, friendly and professional. Thank you. Truly a memorable short flight.

Swiss ground crew was again at its prime and although I’m United 1K (Star Alliance Gold) they created problems with my hand luggage - while other passengers were boarding with more handbags and larger hand luggages, were critical on my 2 young kids attending the lounge with me and boarding the plane with me on the priority lane.

We so appreciated that our connecting flight waited for 6 of us!!!

A lot of things could have been better. They lost our luggage. We missed our connection from YVR to Naples when we arrived in Zurich and then we got re-routed to Rome and then Naples. We eventually got to Naples but our bags didn’t. Our experience at the lost luggage in the Naples was not at all reassuring. They didn’t seem that interested in our problem. I did a live chat with Swiss customer service and all they could do is tell me to follow the process. Meanwhile we’ve had to spend significant money on clothes and I have to replace medications. This has meant our trip so far has been totally different than what we had planned. It’s not clear that our baggage will ever show up which means we will have lost significant amount of clothing and other things and our two month trip to Europe will have more problems than good memories. So far we are not happy.

We asked for vegetarian food. Crew’s answer was may be it is. Also when we booked there weee no food options and we need to give 72 hours of notice which also was not mentioned in booking.

Other than the toilets it was great. One was broken and another wasn’t flushing by the end of the flight

Good flight. Good boarding. Luggage handled properly. Seats are small for business class. No wine or beer offered. Just regular crunchy snacks. Not much for a business class flight.

Premium economy was very comfortable with excellent service and legroom. On Kayak I was able to find a very affordable discounted fare

Overall seamless flight from SFO to FCO. I chose economy to have more money to spend while in Italy. The seats bottoms are a bit on the thin side but they give you a pillow and blanket so Inl used the blanket to thicken up the seat bottom. You have to have a physical boarding pass (at least for my flight) so that was interesting. Crew was nice, food was good and over pretty down the middle.

1 1/2 hours delayed boarding at JFK caused us to almost miss connecting flight in Rome. Only 30 minutes of time to run from one end of FCO to the other for connecting flight. Not very easy to do for older travelers.

There wasn't a time for neither food morning entertainment in a short one hour hop over.

The boarding was delayed and they didn’t let us know why until after we sat on the plane (the plane was delayed getting in) but they had us waiting in line for over 1/2 hour for some reason which I didn’t understand.

Terrible service, uninterested employees, inefficient boarding process, and marginal set up on plane. Staff make the airline - good luck with this one.

Long delay, lack of space at the seats (not comfortable).

When I fl with Bulgarian air, I am greeted with a bottle of water and a packaged cleaning wipe. There is a hot sandwich and a drink offered afterwards. Towards the end of the flight, there is a piece of chocolate and per request an additional water bottle. For the price that Lufthansa charges per ticket, it is embarassing that other airlines can offer better customer service quality on board. Also, some of the Lufthansa flight attendants act very entitled instead of being customer focused. Regularly the mobile lift for diabled passengers is missing... Every time when I fly with my 89 year old mother, she is being questioned multiple times whether it is okay to use the stairs ( she walks with two canes). Most of the times when we arrive in Frankfurt, the mobile lift is missing and she is urged to use the staircase. When I refuse to allow this, the flightattendants look at me scornfully. This is not WW2 where disabled people should be treated as second hand people... Then we all have to wait another 30 to 40 minutes on the airplane, while waiting for the mobile lift to arrrive. Does Lufthansa have enough money to waste on an airplane waiting for (on the average) 30 min for the mobile lift to come? I fly frequently and have experience mostly with Delta, United, Southwest and other American Airlines. Lufthansa needs to pick up their game on board, if they want to stay competitive and in the game...

Keep an eye on your seat assignments - ESPECIALLY if you paid for upgraded seats - the airline moved us out of our prepaid seats THREE TIMES and I could only resolve it by calling customer service - who was very helpful. Expect to carry your bags down several flights of stairs for boarding on the tarmac.

It was ok no problem on flight after the ordeal with passport control. Long line and nasty officers not very helpful.

I was disappointed that paying nearly $5000 more for business class for two didn’t really get me any more than a larger seat which as the last row in cabin reclined only mildly and the foot supports were of minimal help and left no room under seat ahead for carton bag. Second, our checked luggage was lost and took us two long days and we’ll after midnight each of them and multiple calls and 30 euro trip to airport in person to finally get them. Would you do this again?

The tv and remote didn’t work. The plug to charge our phone didn’t work.

Never made it to Lufthansa because of Air Canadas negligence.

Boarding and flight update was fantastic as I experienced about a 10-15 delayed for both flights. The food served onboard was great; the service of the flight attendants was excellent.

Complete mess. Our reservation was mistakenly cancelled. After almost missing the connection and walking all over the Munich airport, the Service desk got involved and we were run to our flight. Not all 4 of us in Business and not seated together as originally booked. This was the worst treatment I have ever had. And I travel a lot. 1K million miler.

There is more space in this economy seat. It felt like a better layout, not so cramped.

Lufhtansa has and can do better. The food was inedible. No individual light for reading.
