Heading to Italy in June 2014
I am trying to book flights to Italy. The goal of our family is to get to Sicily to visit family and then to Malta to visit more family. We don't care where we fly into. We have seen Venice, Rome, Florence and Sicily. This trip we want to concentrate on Sicily...want the cheapest flight to get us to Italy...from experience is one airport more reasonable to fly to? We are coming from the US.
We are also spending 4 days in the beginning or end in Spain. There are 5 of us in our family...so...
We would fly from US to Spain or from US to Italy and then return from either Italy to US or Spain to US...all depending on price.
Any suggestions?

Prices will differ tremendously depending on where you are coming from. Do you have only one international airport nearby? A choice of options?
There are so many ways you can do this that I think you need to sign up for the alerts for a number of options and just keep watching.

http://www.vueling.com/es has direct flights from Barcelona to Catania and to Palermo.
Compare
multi leg flights from your home airport to Palermo/Catania/Trapani - Malta - Place in Spain that you don't want to tell us
with
flights to any european transport hub (not necessarily in Italy) and low cost flights from there to Catania, Palermo, Trapani, Malta and "Spain" as well as between these places.

To be honest neckervd..don't know where in Spain. We have friends in Madrid...I am guessing there. I will try fueling.
I did sign up for many alerts. Thought there was a secret I didn't know about. tee her...

Andreadee, I'm not sure if that's an autocorrect or not in your post, but the airline is Vueling (with a V), not fueling. FYI, it's also pronounced "vwayling" -- say it with a Spanish accent -- and not "vyooling". I flew them PMO-BCN a couple of years ago and was generally pleased with them, although the seats were underpadded and uncomfortable. Fortunately, it was only a 90-minute or so flight.
Your best bet would be to fly USA-Malta and then start backtracking: Malta-Sicily, Sicily-Spain, and finally Spain-USA, if for no other reason than the flights across the Atlantic would be nonstop flights from either MAD or BCN to your airline's east coast hub. If you flew home from Malta, there would be a connection somewhere in Europe first, and it would be a very early flight (~7:00 AM).
