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.

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International (BUD) is Hungary’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside a growing mix of low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 16–20 km southeast of the city center; travel times by taxi or rideshare are usually 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, while the Airport Shuttle Bus 100E connects to the city center in roughly 35–45 minutes for a modest fare, and suburban buses plus metro offer cheaper but slightly slower options. Expect a good range of passenger services and several lounges, though peak times can mean lines at security and passport control. Overall it’s convenient for international transfers and city access, with a balance of comfort and budget choices.
