Overview

Milan Malpensa is the largest airport serving Milan and northern Italy and the country's main intercontinental gateway after Rome. It handles long-haul and European flights for a wide range of carriers. It is the busiest of Milan's three airports.

Transport to city center

The Malpensa Express train runs to Milano Cadorna and Centrale stations in about 40–55 minutes, complemented by shuttle buses and taxis with a fixed fare to the city.

Wi-Fi

Free WiFi is available throughout the terminals.

Lounges

Multiple lounges operate at Terminal 1, including SkyTeam, Sala Montale, and contract lounges.

Security & customs

EU/EEA passport holders and eligible ePassport travelers can use the automated eGates. Italy is in Schengen, so intra-Schengen flights skip passport control; standard EU 100ml liquid rules apply.

Travel tips

Check which terminal your flight uses, as the two are several kilometers apart. Buy the fixed-fare taxi or the Malpensa Express in advance to save time.
