Wedge, just for your information BA fly from LGW to CTA direct too, prices start from £89 return inc.taxes, of course if you fly on the less busy days.
However Catania and Palermo are a few hours away, it took me about 5 hours by car via Messina/Cefalu' (if you go north)and around 3 hours via Enna (if you go south first then take the big motorway to PMO).
Air Malta are very good too and I think they fly out of STN.
they also fly out of LGW and LHR but I think you'd need to connect in MLA which might add to the cost of taxes.
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Sicily though and that the incident with baggage didn't spoil it for you, I think Sicily is a truly undervalued gem. Cannot wait to go back again!!!
