Milan is served by three main airports with distinct roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers, typically pricier but offering extensive connections; it lies about 50 km northwest of central Milan, with express trains to Milano Centrale in roughly 40–50 minutes (fares usually in the mid-range) and regional buses taking about an hour. Linate (LIN) is the closest, a domestic and short-haul business-focused airport only around 7 km east of the city center; trams, buses or taxis reach downtown in 20–30 minutes with modest fares, making it convenient for quick business trips. Orio al Serio / Bergamo (BGY) sits 45 km northeast and often serves low-cost airlines, so fares can be comparatively lower; shuttle buses connect to central Milan in about 50–70 minutes with budget-friendly tickets, while taxis are faster but costlier. Pros: Malpensa for route variety, Linate for proximity and speed, Bergamo for cheap fares; cons: Malpensa and Bergamo can require longer transfers into the city, while Linate has fewer long-haul options.
San Francisco International (SFO) is the region’s main international hub, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and a growing number of premium transpacific and domestic flights; low-cost carriers also operate here but may favor other Bay Area fields. The airport sits about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco, with Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) offering a direct link in roughly 30–40 minutes for mid-range fares and airport shuttles, taxis, or rideshares taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic for higher fares. Pros: extensive international connections, wide range of on-site services and lounges. Cons: can be busy at peak times and transfers may involve a fair walk between terminals.
