Apparently Catania airport has had a major fire... if your flight has just been cancelled what will you do?

I got a flight to Naples and then got the direct train. There is also a ferry (overnight) from Naples. Sicily is super hot at present and I'm not sure I would travel if I could choose again.

It is super hot but looks to be cooling down next weekend

I'm wondering if they might have sorted the airport out by 2nd.

@TrishTrix when I say "cooling down" I mean 31degrees rather than 44.

Airport at catania is the worst ive been to, without fire issues,so god knows how it will be now. Can you change the holiday?

Not really no.
I don't require a beautiful airport - just one my plane can land in!

This thread sums up the madness of this moment in time - worrying about flying into airports while climate change is visibly causing heatwaves and fires Confused

The fire at Catania airport is nothing to do with climate change though- it's a totally separate issue to the fires in Greece (and 000s of miles away)

Re getting home - my friend just came back from Sicily- she had to drive to Palermo and fly back from there. Easyjet changed her flight. But it was pretty chatic by the sounds of it.

I know where it is, it just felt like a stark juxtaposition.

Flying is one of the many things causing catastrophic climate change!

Wtf are you all thinking about, even considering flying?

I despair, I really do
