Latest airport review
Long long wait to get through passport control, flight was held up for over an hour waiting for everyone to get through. Only 3 people working on passport control, appeared to be very slowly. Pleased Tui/Thomson flight waited for everyone.
VIP Lounge - not worth going in to unless you are not paying. Member of staff working on 18th April obviously wasn't happy, very limited food, coffee in a small plastic cup, limited space to sit down, had to say went you wanted to use the toilet so the door could remotely opened, seat wouldn't stay down (great idea for mens toilet) you had to try and hold it down as you tried to sit on it, not ideal.
All in all not a great experience at Catania
