Milan Malpensa (MXP) serves as the city’s main international gateway and typically handles long-haul and intercontinental flights for full-service carriers and some leisure airlines. Located about 50 km northwest of central Milan, transfer options include the Malpensa Express train (around 40–50 minutes, moderate fares), regional buses (roughly 50–70 minutes, usually cheaper), and taxis or ride-shares (about 50–70 minutes depending on traffic, higher cost). Pros: comprehensive services, many international connections and comfortable lounges; cons: longer transfer time to the city and potentially higher ground-transport fares during peak periods. Linate (LIN) functions mainly as Milan’s convenient domestic and short-haul business airport, favored by full-service European carriers and frequent domestic travelers. It sits just 7 km east of the city center, making transfers quick — taxis and ride-shares typically take 15–30 minutes at standard fares, while urban buses and trams can take 20–40 minutes for a lower cost. Pros: short journey times and close proximity to central Milan; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be busier during weekday business peaks, which may affect check-in or security wait times. Orio al Serio / Bergamo (BGY) often operates as a budget and leisure airport for the Milan area, commonly used by low-cost carriers and charter operators. Positioned about 45 km northeast of Milan, travelers usually reach the city by airport shuttle buses or coaches (approximately 45–60 minutes with budget-friendly fares), regional trains combined with bus transfers, or taxis/ride-shares (longer and pricier). Pros: typically lower airfares and numerous budget routes; cons: farther distance to central Milan and fewer amenities compared with the larger hubs.

Athens is served primarily by Athens International Airport (ATH), the country’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines.

ATH tends to offer a wide mix of services and connections, with comfortable terminals and good transport links, while occasional congestion and peak-season queues can be the trade-offs for travelers.
