Hi and welcome to my back flight from Catania to Tel Aviv.
The flights for this trip:
TLV (Tel Aviv, Israel) -> CTA (Catania, Italy) 6H A320 Y TLV - CTA
CTA (Catania, Italy) -> (Tel Aviv, Israel) MYX A320 Y YOU ARE HERE / VOUS ETES ICI
After great 5 days at Sicily it was the time to come back home. We'd arrived to Catania Airport at 1:30PM for 4:00PM depart. There was a long queue to our flight due to operation of only 2 counters for 180 passengers:

  • Thanks for this FR.

    Service is better than expected but it is from Sun d'Or not Smartlynx, but the pitch is indeed terrible.
