You will never regret if you are reasonable. This place is very soothing. The airport is small in size, yet helps you manage transits well enough. The food is Sicilian, enough said. The crowd can be a concern, yet is not uncommon in Italia. The weather is what strikes you when you first fly down here, how relaxing! The Mediterranean subtropics welcomes you with a beautiful Italian life. Buon Viaggio! Do not forget to have canola and tuna pasta here.
The good points are that as a small terminal, it was easy to arrive and go round to departures for a transit through the airport. Very short distances. There is an adequate selection of food from 2 decent sized and well equipped cafes, though very small areas to sit and eat really, as the terminal is small, though we did find some seats a bit further away. It's best to get food and drink, I think, before you get through security as it's a bit austere afterwards. I was entitled to use the VIP lounge. If you can find it - far end, upstairs - it's staffed by 1 person who is very friendly, to be fair. But the choice of drink and food is minimal snacking really. But it is incredibly small and not really enjoyable. I would be happier to sit downstairs in the main area, and it certainly would not be worth paying for if that was your option. Generally, the check-in and security processes are excessively bureaucratic and slow - lots of frustrated passengers in evidence. Procedures and systems are not efficient or well thought through, and service is generally officious and not at all customer-friendly or warm. The atmosphere is that they are doing you a favour. Overall it's small and convenient, but not well run or staffed.
The staff don't know how to manage volumes. Queues everywhere and no management. I stood in the 'speedy' boarding queue for 30 minutes (still here) I dread what the security queue would be and the eventual boarding of the plane. Plan a number of hours here if you do travel here because they are not organised or willing to help unfortunately.
Well designed airport with modern look. Convenient and easy to access.
