Thoughts about flying out of Catania after 2 weeks driving around Sicily

My wife and I are beginning to plan a 2 week trip to Sicily in April/May 2026. Current plan is to fly from the East Coast of the U.S. (Washington) to Munich, spend a few days recovering from jet lag, and then fly to Palermo where we would likely spend 3 nights, then rent a car and spend the remainder of the 2 weeks driving around Sicily. We're thinking of ending up in Taormina and I'm curious about any experiences flying back to Europe from Catania vs. Palermo, with a connection to return to Washington. Would appreciate any insights or experiences into this as an option.

When we flew to Sicily from Dulles airport it was to and from Catania and we had no issues. Going to Sicily we had a layover in Munich and on the return the layover was in Frankfurt.
