Why fly to Lamezia-Terme?

Poland has five direct connections, Austria three. For travelers coming in, that reach score of 66 out of 99 means you're not stuck with one or two carriers and their pricing monopoly. Ryanair, Lufthansa, Norwegian, Eurowings — they're all operating here, competing for the same seats. The route range is genuinely striking. The shortest hop is just 190 kilometers to Catania in Sicily, useful if you want to island-hop without a ferry. The longest?
