I was aware of Ryanair but never had the opportunity to take them for a trip. It was generally a…read moregood experience. Checkin for flight and baggage is online; there is a surcharge if you attempt to do so at the airport. It was pretty easy and straight forward. The additional costs for a bag were more than the flight itself but considering that the flight was 10 Euros each and each way, you really can't complain. For that matter, I have no idea how they cover their costs. We flew directly to Palermo. It was a quick and easy flight.

Great pricing but don't be fooled. If your bag is not "up to their standards" in size requirement…read moreyou'll have to pay. No food, no water, nothing unless you want to pay even more after having an "oversized" bag. My suitcase is the size of a typical suitcase and that is too big. Nice flight attendants though

This is a nice airport considering that it is on the smaller size that receives international…read moreflights. There are enough food and drink options that anyone can find something to get to their satisfaction. There is also a large enough duty free shop that has your classic goods (alcohol, beauty products, souvenirs, etc). The lines for security pass quite nicely too! I was pleasantly surprised by how efficient everything was. The one grip I have is that the gates are all over the place. My gate was located completely opposite to where it should have been on the ground level with security being on the second floor. It was confusing and before a flight there is enough chaos that needing to run around an airport can be added stress.

Four nights at this hotel, which is currently branded under the Best Western chain and was part of…read moremy Delta Vacations trip. The hotel is in a good location and had restaurants and shopping within walking distance. It's in a busy neighborhood but there was little noise other than the occasional siren. Nothing from the hallway or neighbors. Checking in was easy though there was a little confusion as to the level of room I had booked. The emailed receipt clearly said "executive suite" but they want to put me in a standard room. After reviewing the email, this was dealt with quickly and I received the room I had booked and they apologized. My room was on the first floor (second floor in American) at the very end of the hallway so it was quiet. Balcony to the street, queen bed and work desk. Wifi worked reasonably well in my room but my friend in the next room down had some trouble. I think I was just at the edge of the AP's range. The room also had a hot water kettle and instant coffee packets. Twice I had to ask at the desk for creamer as it was neglected by the housekeeping staff who otherwise did a good job. A good amount of storage including a safe. Full shower had very hot water. I did not have their breakfast or visit the bar. Check-out was easy and they accurately charged me only for the small city tax. Overall, a very pleasant stay and if I were to return to Palermo I would stay here again.
