Catania Airport Review by A Ahmed

✅ Trip Verified |   This was the first time I departed as well as arriving into Catania - previously I had a good opinion of the airport, as arrivals is so efficient and stress free - little wait times at passport control and baggage received very quickly. However this time we were also departing and now I understand why everyone hates this airport. The truth is this airport has too many passengers and flights taking off for the size of the terminal. Terminal A where our British Airways flight was departing from basically a zoo, with too many passengers hemmed into a tiny space after security and no seating to wait. It is so cramped they struggle to even fit in the food and shopping outlets. And lets talk about the food outlets - this is price-gouging on a level I haven't seen at any other Italian airport, just obscene pricing of very average looking food. And of course there is no water fountain because they want to overcharge you several euros for bottled one. Lastly the filth - this airport is filty, absolutely filthy and dirty, it really made me uncomfortable. I will never complain about Palermo airport ever again.
