Milan Malpensa (MXP) is the region’s principal international gateway and typically handles long-haul and intercontinental flights, making it the hub choice for many full-service carriers and some low-cost long-haul operators. It sits about 50 km northwest of central Milan; road or train connections usually take 40–60 minutes by express train or 45–70 minutes by car/taxi depending on traffic, with train fares generally in the mid-range and taxis costing notably more. Pros: comprehensive services, multiple lounges, and broad airline choice; cons: longer transfer time to the city and potentially higher ground-transport fares in peak periods. Linate (LIN) functions as Milan’s convenient city airport and is often favored for short-haul and domestic services, along with many European flights run by legacy carriers and some regional operators. Located about 8 km east of downtown, Linate is typically a 15–25 minute drive or 20–30 minute bus/tram ride, with public-transport fares usually modest and taxi fares reasonable for the short distance. Pros: close to the center, quick check-in and transfers; cons: fewer long-haul options and can be pricier per seat on certain routes compared with budget terminals. Orio al Serio / Bergamo (BGY) usually serves as the area’s budget and secondary airport, heavily used by low-cost carriers and charter airlines for European connections. It’s approximately 45 km northeast of central Milan; shuttle buses generally take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, and trains plus local transport can take longer, with fares often low to moderate. Pros: typically lower ticket prices and efficient low-cost infrastructure; cons: longer travel time to Milan and fewer amenities than the main international terminals. If you’re weighing options, Malpensa typically offers the widest international connectivity, Linate is most convenient for speed and city access, and Bergamo usually gives better options for budget-conscious travellers — each airport comes with its trade-offs in transfer time, service level, and fare expectations.
