Cheap Flights from Milan to Quito — $467

Quito is served primarily by Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), a modern international hub handling the majority of long-haul and regional flights; it typically hosts national carrier and full-service international airlines alongside some low-cost carriers. Located about 18–20 km east of the historic center (roughly 30–45 minutes by car depending on traffic), transfers can be by taxi or app ride (commonly moderate fares), airport shuttle buses, or pre-booked private transfer; public buses are also available for budget-conscious travelers. Pros: newer facilities, straightforward international connections, and reliable ground transport options. Cons: traffic can make transfer times variable and fares may rise during peak hours.

Milan is served by three main airports with distinct roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the biggest international hub, handling long-haul and many full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators; it’s typically perceived as mid-to-upper range for fares. It sits about 50 km northwest of the city centre and can be reached via the Malpensa Express train in roughly 40–50 minutes (ticket fares generally in the low-teens €), or by regional buses and taxis which take 45–60 minutes depending on traffic (taxis often cost significantly more). Pros: frequent train links and wide route choice; cons: farther from downtown and transfers can take time. Linate (LIN) functions mainly as Milan’s closest airport for domestic and short-haul European flights, often used by business travellers and legacy carriers; prices can be competitive for quick hops. Located only about 7 km east of central Milan, it’s typically a 15–25 minute taxi or bus ride (buses and trams usually cost a few euros), and there’s also direct shuttle and metro connections in many cases. Pros: very convenient for city access and short transfers; cons: limited long-haul options and can be busier during peak business hours. Orio al Serio / Bergamo (BGY) is commonly positioned as the low-cost alternative serving Milan, popular with budget airlines and leisure travellers looking for cheaper fares. Although branded for Milan, it’s actually around 45 km northeast of the city, with buses taking roughly 50–70 minutes to reach central Milan (fare ranges are typically low, often under €15), plus longer taxi rides. Pros: often lower ticket prices and many budget routes; cons: longer transfer times to the city and fewer amenities compared with the larger hub airport.
