How much is a flight from Bologna to Palermo?
The cost of a flight from Bologna to Palermo depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Bologna to Palermo: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Bologna to Palermo is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up
When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Bologna to Palermo flight first, then the alternatives.
How to book flights from Bologna to Palermo with Haqqi Tours
The easiest way to book a flight from Bologna to Palermo is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you let us know by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.
- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Palermo
If plans change, the same WhatsApp thread handles it. We clarify the carrier's change and refund rules for the fare you chose before any payment, so there are no surprises later.
Airlines flying from Bologna to Palermo
Who flies from Bologna to Palermo? Ryanair. Between them the route runs 1-2 flights a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your travel date and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
Departure: Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ)
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) is where the Bologna to Palermo flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Bologna to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport
- Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
Arrival: Palermo Airport (Punta Raisi) (PMO) and getting into Palermo
You arrive at Palermo Airport (Punta Raisi) (PMO). The Trinacria Express train and airport buses reach the centre in about 45 to 60 minutes, which suits one traveller with light luggage heading for the station or the old town; for Mondello, Cefalu, Trapani, San Vito Lo Capo or a hotel with family and cases, a private car to the door is simpler and saves changes. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Palermo, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Many travellers continue from Palermo to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Bologna to Palermo flight
Before you compare the Bologna to Palermo flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours provides the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Bologna to Palermo
Families fly the Bologna to Palermo route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Palermo when you land
Teatro Massimo, Ballaro, Il Capo and Vucciria markets, the Capuchin Catacombs, Monreale cathedral and cloister and Cefalu cathedral are what most passengers come to Palermo for. Palermo is Sicily's capital of Arab-Norman palaces, street-food markets and the golden mosaics of Monreale. Eat panelle chickpea fritters in a bun, sfincione Palermo-style thick pizza and cannoli with sweet ricotta while you are there.
Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Palermo; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Bologna to Palermo
April to June and September to October are the most comfortable months; July and August are hot and busy at Mondello and San Vito Lo Capo, and boat trips to Zingaro or the Egadi Islands can be cancelled in rough seas; the airport road is slowest at commuting hours and on summer Friday evenings. On the flight from Bologna to Palermo, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Which airport do I fly from in Bologna?
Departures are from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ). We send the terminal and the check-in deadline with the ticket, and can add a private transfer from your accommodation to the airport.
When is the best time to book the Bologna to Palermo flight?
As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
Is baggage included in the Bologna to Palermo flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier rebooks you and, depending on the rules that apply, may owe assistance or compensation; our WhatsApp desk helps you through it. If you have a transfer booked with us the driver tracks the flight.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Yes, at their own fares: infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced rate, children from two need a seat and generally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Palermo to Bologna, or onward flights from Palermo - and puts it all on one booking.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 1 hour 30 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.
What is the cheapest flight from Bologna to Palermo?
Normally a mid-week departure booked well ahead, on whichever airline has the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Give us flexible dates on the form and we search the cheapest Bologna to Palermo flight across all of them.

Change and refund rules depend on the carrier and the fare class; some tickets are flexible, the cheapest are not. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm and handle any change through the same WhatsApp conversation.

About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.
Which airlines fly from Bologna to Palermo?
Ryanair. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your travel date and send the ones that make sense.
