Milan is served by three main airports with distinct roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and many full-service carriers; it sits about 50 km northwest of central Milan and can be reached by the Malpensa Express train in roughly 40–50 minutes (fare typically in the mid-range for regional rail) or by coach and car in 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. Linate (LIN) is the inner-city airport, closer to the center at around 8 km east, and usually caters to domestic and short-haul European flights with several legacy carriers and business services; it’s accessible by bus or taxi in 20–30 minutes and can be more convenient for business travelers despite often higher fares. Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY), located about 50 km northeast, operates largely as a budget-airline base and often presents the lowest fares; coach transfers take about 50–70 minutes to the city center with low-to-moderate ticket prices, while taxis are quicker but costlier. Pros: Malpensa for international connectivity, Linate for proximity, Bergamo for budget options. Cons: Transfers from Malpensa and Bergamo can be time-consuming, and peak-hour road links to each airport can be congested.

Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) functions as the region’s main international gateway and a mixed hub for full-service carriers and low-cost airlines; you’ll typically find Lufthansa and Eurowings alongside Ryanair and Wizz Air. It’s located about 15 km southeast of Cologne city center, with train and regional S-Bahn links taking roughly 15–20 minutes to central stations; taxis or ride-shares usually require about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Local buses and airport shuttles offer cheaper alternatives with fares commonly in a modest range. Pros: compact layout, direct rail access and a broad route mix. Cons: can be busy during peak times and some budget flights may use less central terminals.
