Palermo's airport skips on-site luggage storage — here's what's actually available, plus the fastest way to reach the city 35km away.
Palermo Falcone-Borsellino Airport (PMO) serves western Sicily, and — like several of the island's airports — doesn't have a dedicated left luggage counter on-site. Here's the practical picture, plus how to actually get to the city once you land.
Landing at PMO? Book a private transfer straight to Palermo, Cefalù, or Monreale with a fixed price agreed before you fly.

Based on the most recent reports, Palermo Airport does not currently operate an official left luggage storage counter (this has reportedly changed over time, so it's worth asking at the information desk on arrival in case that's shifted again). A lost property office exists at the Terminal Duty Officer room on the first floor (+39 091 702 0265) — but that's for misplaced items, not planned storage. For actual luggage storage, independent storage networks operate certified drop-off points near the airport and in central Palermo.
WiFi at Palermo Airport
Like most Italian airports, Palermo offers free WiFi in the terminal — look for the airport's official network when you land.
Getting to Palermo City Centre
Palermo's airport sits about 35km from the city — further out than most Italian airports — with a private transfer typically taking around 35 minutes. The Trinacria Express train is the public transport alternative, reaching Palermo Centrale station, though (like any train) it only gets you to the station, not your hotel.
Fixed all-inclusive pricing from Palermo Airport — no hidden extras for the longer distance into the city.
