Being the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily has good connections with the rest of Europe. It has four international commercial airports, Palermo, Catania, Comiso and Trapani, and two domestic airports serving mainland Italy, Lampedusa and Pantelleria.

In the southeast of Sicily is the province of Syracuse, well known for its ancient Greek ruins, charming cities of Baroque architecture and beautiful Mediterranean beaches.

Booking a Flight to Sicily’s Main Airports

To reach Syracuse, book a flight to one of Sicily’s two main international airports, Palermo or Catania. Catania is the nearest airport to Syracuse and lies approximately 37 miles south of the city. Palermo on the other hand is 22 miles northwest of Sicily’s capital Palermo, 173 miles from Syracuse.

Catania Airport, also known as Vincenzo Bellini Airport, is Sicily’s busiest airport and serves major airlines such as Alitalia, Lufthansa and British Airways, as well as budget airlines easyJet and Ryanair.

If you’re staying in the capital of Syracuse itself, you will find it just as easy to explore on foot, especially in its old town on the island of Ortygia. Some of the main highlights on the island include the ruins of the Greek Temple of Apollo and the impressive Syracuse Cathedral, which was built on the site of a Greek temple. Other reasons to fly to Syracuse for a holiday include its ancient archaeological sites of the Archeological Park of Neapolis and the Akrai Archaeological Park, both home to Greek theatres and interesting grottoes and catacombs.

How to survive the flight to Syracuse?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and discovering Syracuse in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Syracuse?
The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Syracuse in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
