Plenty of lead time, aiming for September 2025 in Sicily if I can find the right tickets, for one person, flying J or F. I've done some research into which airline partners fly to Sicily (not many!) and some reading of other threads. Looks like my options are BA (high fees), AA, and Condor. I live in ANC so understand a positioning flight will likely be required. Appreciate any insight and suggestions you would be willing to offer. I enjoy planning and the hunt for tickets but there seemingly so many more options that I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!
Neither AA nor Condor serves Catania or Palermo -- at least, not according to the Wikipedia entries for those two airports. BA and IB serve both airports, but only seasonally.
