Cheap Flights from Zagreb to Milan Starting at $23

Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport is Croatia’s main international gateway, serving both legacy carriers and a growing low-cost presence, so fares can vary from budget-friendly to mid-range depending on season. The airport sits about 10–15 km southeast of Zagreb’s city centre; taxis and ride-shares typically take 20–30 minutes, while the airport bus and shuttle services run about 30–40 minutes with fares usually in the low-single-euro to low-double-euro range. Car rental and limited parking are available for drivers. Pros: compact layout, relatively quick processing and straightforward transfers. Cons: fewer long-haul connections than larger European hubs and occasional peak-season crowding.

Milan is served by three main airports with different roles. Malpensa (MXP) is the primary international hub for long-haul and many scheduled carriers, typically handling full-service airlines and some low-cost operators; it sits about 50 km northwest of central Milan, with the Malpensa Express rail taking roughly 40–50 minutes to Milano Centrale and costing in the range of moderate train fares, while taxis and shuttle buses can be slower or pricier depending on traffic. Linate (LIN) is closer — around 8 km east — and often functions as a convenient city airport for domestic and short-haul European routes, usually served by full-service and some business flights; surface connections include buses and taxis with travel times of roughly 20–30 minutes and modest fares, making it a quicker but smaller option. Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY), about 45 km northeast, is commonly positioned as the low-cost and charter gateway, used by many budget airlines; coach services to central Milan generally take 45–60 minutes at economical fares, while trains require a transfer. Pros: Malpensa offers broader long-haul choice, Linate provides fast access to the city, and Bergamo can be cheaper on budget carriers. Cons: Malpensa is farther out, transfers can be affected by traffic; Linate has fewer long-haul options and can be more expensive for some routes; Bergamo may involve longer overland transfers to reach central Milan.
