Milan is served by three main airports with distinct roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the largest international hub, typically handling long-haul and many full-service carriers and some low-cost long-range flights; it’s about 50 km northwest of the city and usually reached by train (Malpensa Express, ~40–50 minutes) or highway taxis and coaches (roughly 45–60 minutes depending on traffic). Linate (LIN) sits much closer—around 8 km east of downtown—and is generally the convenient airport for domestic and short-haul European routes, commonly used by legacy carriers; tram, bus or taxi rides take about 15–30 minutes. Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) functions largely as a budget carrier base northeast of Milan (about 45 km), popular with low-cost airlines; shuttle buses and coaches take about 50–70 minutes, while taxis are faster but pricier. Typical fares vary by operator and time of day; trains and shuttles can be most economical, taxis the most direct but costlier. Pros: Malpensa offers wide international connectivity, Linate is fastest for central Milan access, and Bergamo can be cheaper on low-cost routes. Cons: Malpensa and Bergamo involve longer transfers, and services at budget-oriented terminals can be more basic.

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi (BLQ) is Emilia-Romagna’s main international gateway, serving a mix of legacy carriers, low-cost airlines and some regional operators; it can be priced competitively compared with larger Italian hubs. The airport sits roughly 6–10 km northwest of central Bologna, with taxi rides typically taking about 15–25 minutes and regional buses (Aerobus) around 20–30 minutes; expect fares usually in the modest range for buses and higher for taxis. Car rental and ride-hailing are widely available, and there’s a nearby motorway for private drivers. Pros: compact layout and relatively short transfer times; cons: can be busy during peak travel and options for late-night services can be limited.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Milan to Bologna is $36 (November 2025), while the maximum is $40 (December 2025). On average, a ticket costs $38–$40.
