Milan is served by three main airports with distinct roles. Milan Malpensa (MXP) is the primary international hub handling long-haul and many legacy carriers; it’s typically perceived as mid-to-high in price and sits about 50 km northwest of the city center. Trains (Malpensa Express) take roughly 40–50 minutes to Cadorna or Centrale, with fares usually in the mid-range; taxis can take 45–60 minutes depending on traffic. Bergamo-Orio al Serio (BGY), often used by low-cost airlines, lies about 45 km northeast and can be cheaper on budget carriers; shuttle buses to Centrale take roughly 50–70 minutes at economical fares. Linate (LIN) is the closest, around 7 km east, serving mainly domestic and short-haul routes with convenience for business travelers — a bus or taxi takes 20–30 minutes in normal traffic and is usually the quickest option. Pros: Malpensa for broad connectivity, Bergamo for low fares, Linate for proximity; cons: Malpensa and Bergamo can involve longer transfers, while Linate has fewer long-haul choices.
Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS) is the region’s main international hub, handling long-haul and European connections alongside some budget carriers; it’s typically used for business and leisure travel alike. The airport sits about 25 km east of Lyon’s city centre, with the Rhônexpress tram taking roughly 30–35 minutes to Part-Dieu for fares that are usually mid-range for a dedicated airport link. Taxis and ride-hailing can be faster depending on traffic (around 30–45 minutes) but are commonly more expensive. Pros: a modern terminal with good onward connections and frequent services. Cons: it can feel a little distant and transfer costs may be higher than inner-city options.
