Milan is served by three main airports with distinct roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the primary international hub handling long-haul and many full-service carriers; it’s located about 50 km northwest of the city center and typically feels larger and more formal. Train and coach links to central Milan take roughly 40–60 minutes—regional trains and the Malpensa Express are common, with fares usually in the mid-range for airport rail links; taxis can be faster but more costly. Strengths: broad international connectivity and full-service facilities. Downsides: longer transfer times to the center and occasional congestion during peak hours. Linate (LIN) functions mainly as Milan’s close-in airport for domestic and short-haul European flights, often favoured by business travelers for its convenience. Situated roughly 7–8 km east of downtown, it’s about a 15–30 minute drive depending on traffic; regular buses and the metro extension provide economical connections, while taxis are quick but pricier. Linate’s compact layout can mean faster check-ins and shorter walking distances, though it can be busier and offer fewer long-haul options compared with Malpensa. Orio al Serio / Bergamo (BGY) operates as a budget and charter gateway largely serving low-cost carriers and price-sensitive travelers; it sits about 45 km northeast of central Milan. Coaches to the city typically take 45–70 minutes and are usually the most economical option, with train-plus-transfer combos and taxis available at higher cost. Pros: generally lower fares and frequent low-cost services. Cons: longer travel time to central Milan and more limited full-service amenities compared with the main hub airports.

Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is the city’s main international gateway, typically serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on European and seasonal long-haul routes. Located about 12 km west of the city centre, it can be reached by tram in roughly 30–35 minutes (fares usually in the low single digits) or by frequent airport buses in 25–40 minutes with similar ticket prices; taxi journeys often take 25–30 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier. The terminal is compact and usually straightforward for transfers, making it convenient for short stays, while peak times can feel busy and parking or drop-off may be more costly than regional alternatives.
