Arrived from Frankfurt to Catania yesterday. The flight time is two hours. Off the plane, across the tarmac by bus to the terminal, then to baggage claim... and the suitcases are already there 👍 – how do they do that? The flight was fully booked. Then by rental car 🚗 to Acireale, about 15 km north of Catania.
