Palermo/Trento (gro) The grandmother is called Carlotta Mauro, lives in Palermo and can now visit her granddaughter in Trento as often as she wants for a year, and for free. This is made possible by the latest European low-cost airline called Volotea, which connects numerous European cities and quite a few vacation regions with each other. For example also Madrid with Barcelona or Trento (Trento) with Palermo. the capital of the largest Mediterranean island. More and more tourists vacationing in Sicily enter via Palermo, all the more so as the city, together with Monreale and Cefalù, has been officially declared this year by UNESCO as Heritage of Humanity worthy of special protection. Trento is located at the other, northern tip of Italy, close to the lagoon city of Venice, and Trento’s airport is popular with particularly inexpensive traveling Venice fans because of this illustrious neighborhood. Or even by grandmother Mauro, who has her granddaughter in Trento. Trentino, the province of Italy located in the extreme northeast, has expanded the airport several times. It is also well connected by bus to the surrounding cities. Trento airport comes both the airlines and ultimately the passengers far less expensive than the Aeroporto Marco Polo, which is far more intimately nestled to the historic center of the lagoon city.
The surprise in Palermo.
The event to be reported here has happened in Western Sicily, at the Aeroporto Falcone & Borselino, that is, at the airport of Palermo. There, on Monday of this week, Carlotta Mauro was greeted by two men and a lush bouquet of flowers: by Carlos Munoz, the Spanish founder of the low-cost airline Volotea and its CEO. It was time to congratulate the 500,000 passenger of the young airline.
For one year, all Carlotta’s flights are free.
In addition to the bouquet, Carlotta Mauro received a very special gift, in the form of a so-called, 12-month flat rate: Flights from Venice (from Aeroporto Trento) to anywhere in Europe won’t cost Carlotta Mauro a penny for a year nor will flights from any European city served by Volotea to Venice. The Voloteo plane just always has to take off from or land in Trento (Venice). Charlotte’s granddaughter is 7 years old. Grandma Charlotta has meanwhile, according to reports, adjusted to visit the girl only away from the big holidays. She wants, one hears further, “no one to take away the place, but gladly make the trip if there is still a place free”.
