Will take the earliest flight at 7AM so should be O.K.

Also anyone know how long it takes to get from the Catania Sheraton to the airport by car?
YOur flight should be fine as long as the in bound the night before came in. CTA has a website with flights status in English and Italian.

Are you at the Sheraton up on the north side near Aci Castello?
If so that drive CAN take a while with traffic (like an hour) on the outer ring road (A18).
There is a more direct route through the city on Viale Kennedy and such which is about 15 kms. The ring road is longer distance but how many people go to avoid in town traffic and lights. If you are leaving early enough in the morning heading through town might be the option (I presume you have experiance driving here )
I'd ask the hotel staff to double check the average morning conditions up there on that side of town.

Ciao,
FH
