Milan Flights

For people who leave Italy from Airport Malpensa and have to get tax refund from your handed-luggage, you'd better watch out the police cause he lied to us about getting the tax refund in Zurich. If you transfer in Swiss which is not member of EU, make sure that you can only get tax-refund in area B but the boarding gate is in area A. It's really unbelievable that the POLICE told us Swiss is one of EU!!!!!

When you fly to Milano, most probably you'll land to the biggest airport - Malpensa, cca. 35 km away from Milan. Do not miss the spectacular view of the Alps stemming from the clouds! If you're lucky, you'll be landing at sunset/dusk, and the images you'll see are simply surreal... The chains of Alps covered in snow rising up from the clouds, embracing the sky and the crimson layer of the setting sun...

Malpensa is not exactly the best airport I've seen. The modern structure is quite impressive, but it's about 1h from downtown and the airport suffers from chronic air traffic control problems. They even lost my luggage once without a connection (evidently an hour wasn't enough for the bags to reach the plane from check-in...)

I recommend the flights to Bergamo with Ryanair for trips to Milan.
It will often be the cheapest alternative for you and Milan central train station is only a short and inexpensive expressbus ride away.

On summer there are daily flights and on monday, wenesday, friday and sunday on autuum and winter with easy jet from Málaga airport to Milan Malpensa terminal 2. The flight departs from Milan Malpensa at 7.30 am and from Málaga at 10.30 and after 2 hours flight let´s go to enjoy of Milan.

En verano hay vuelos diarios y en invierno lunes, miercoles, viernes y domingos con easy jet desde el aeropuerto de Málaga al aeropuerto de Milan Malpensa el cual llega a la terminal 2. El vuelo sale desde Milan a las 7.30 de la mañana y de Málaga sale a las 10.30, el vuelo tarda unas 2 horas y después de eso a disfrutar de las maravillas que ofrece Milán.

In Milan, there are two airports, one is Malpensa Airports, located 52km from city centre and the other one is Linate, located only 6km. Most of internation flight will landing or departure from Malpensa, but some of them also from Linate. SO could considered both is international airport.

For those traveling to Milan, you should know that there are two airports serving the city. Linate and Malpensa. Malpensa is the newest of the two airports, and it is the one I arrived in. Completed in 1998, it is a thoroughly modern airport with shops, restaurants, duty-free stores, dry cleaners and everything you could want or need in an airport. It also has excellent transportation by train or bus available for travel into the heart of Milan which is 40 minutes to 1 hr away depending on your mode of transportation. The city of Como is also roughly 30 to 45 minutes away by train.

Linate airport has the advantage of being only 7km from downtown Milan. Linate is the airport probably preferred by those whose only or primary destination is Milan, and therefore may host more intra-Italy commuters, and/or less expensive airlines.

I am not totally certain about Linate, but I know that Malpensa airport has hotels nearby which have courtesy shuttles which will pick you up or drop you off at the airport for free or the nominal cost for the driver's tip. However, for very early flight departures, make sure that your hotel's driver is available or pre-book a taxi for the time you desire.
