Catania vs. Palermo Airport: Early Morning Transit Options?

Hi everyone! I’m curious about taxi, bus, or mass transit availability for very early morning flights (around 6 AM) to Rome with ITA Airways.

If you've traveled from either Catania or Palermo International Airport, which one tends to have better options for getting to the airport from a hotel or Airbnb at those early hours? Are taxis easy to find, or is there reliable bus or transit service?

I’d love to hear your experiences or recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Palermo is an easier airport to use than Catania.
They are probably similar for getting taxis at early hours. Book your request when you check into your hotel.

We didn’t have any trouble getting a taxi from our Catania hotel for our 6:00 am ITA flight to Rome in 2022. We scheduled with the front desk the night before.
