Milan Malpensa (MXP) serves as the city’s main international gateway and a hub for long-haul and full-service carriers, with some low-cost airlines also operating here. Located roughly 50 km northwest of central Milan, journey times by train or bus typically range from 40 to 60 minutes; the Malpensa Express takes about 50 minutes to Centrale with fares usually in the mid-range for regional airport rail. Taxis and private transfers take around 45–70 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier. Pros: well-equipped international facilities and reliable rail links. Cons: longer distance to the city and potential for higher ground-transport costs during peak times. Milan Linate (LIN) functions as a convenient city airport for domestic and short-haul European flights and tends to host full-service and business-oriented carriers. It sits about 7 km east of central Milan, so road transfer times are typically 15–30 minutes; shuttle buses and taxis are common options with fares often lower than longer-distance airports. Public bus routes and tram connections may take slightly longer but can be cost-effective. Pros: proximity to the city center and quick transfers. Cons: smaller scale and fewer long-haul options compared with the larger Malpensa. Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) commonly operates as Milan’s low-cost airport, attracting many budget carriers and leisure travelers. It is located approximately 45 km northeast of central Milan, and shuttle buses to the city take about 45–60 minutes with typically low fares; regional trains require a short bus link to the station. Taxis and transfers can be more expensive and are subject to traffic delays. Pros: generally lower airfares and frequent budget connections. Cons: longer transfer times to central Milan and more limited on-site services compared with major international terminals.
