Milano Linate

Both Milan airport are the worse airports I have been to. very small and not self intuitive. The check-​in is far from the security check point and we were told by security guard that we are required to check in the luggage when others with bigger luggage in front of us were let in.
Do not use the PREMIER TAX FREE tax refund service in Linate Airport. The lady working was rude and omitted information on fees and forced us to take a hit on the tax refund. One of the worse experience gets worse, as we are at the security check in when she running towards us yelling something in Italian about Polizia. Apparently she had given me back the tax refund document that she needs to get the paid and started accusing us of stealing it. How can it be stealing when it was given back to us? logic failed this women. sometimes you can’t argue with stupid.

From Paris we flew into Milano Linate, this is simple small airport.
Everything is laid out pretty clear on where to go, we headed off to baggage claim then made our way out, there was one man working the customs table with a sign asking if we anyone had anything to declare, I just said I have about 40 euros of macaroons with me, he said oh that’s no problem, have fun in Italy, no stamp saying I entered the country. Haha that’s half the fun of having a passport, collecting the stamps!
Got our luggage and made our way to the buses to take us to Central Station, each bus station is clearly marked, found our bus just sitting there waiting, I was supposed to see it was a coach bus and not a city bus, paid 6 euros and placed my bags in the luggage area and got on the bus and made our way to Milan.
This is a smaller airport and it is the closed to central Milan, the other airport I heard is pretty far out. Glad our entry into Milan was simple and easy.

#58−2016:
If you need to use Linate for internal flights, you have my empathy.
If you need to catch and international flight, I wouldn’t want to he in your shoes.
If you chose this airport due to its proximity to the city, you may want to take into account traffic.
Though it is true that Linate is WAY closer to Milan than its cousin Malpensa, unfortunately there STILL is no solid and fast public transportation connection.
I may reconsider my final score once MM4 opens up its ambitious connection, but until then… no way José!
There is a urban bus taking you (if traffic doesn’t prove too chaotic) from S. Babila square on to departures (bus 73 express), though you may want to allot up to 40 minutes for this option and, forget about it if you have huge luggage for it is still partially an in-​town bus.
Once you arrive at the airport, it is way easier to navigate than most (fairly small hub), security isn’t as strict as it’s fellow hub (Malpensa), the shopping options are extremely limited and hours of operations render this airport almost impossible to lay over night (you may wanna head back into town if that is even an option).
All in all, I can’t find a reason to give more than 2 stars…

I ain’t been to malpensa airport but everyone tells me that Linate is better so on a recent Trip to Milan I made sure I travelled through the latter.
The best things about it seem to be two key points. Firstly its location as it’s much closer to the centre of Milan than malpensa and therefore it means it’s much easier to get to and from the airport. The second is it seems quite small so you get through security and to your gate pretty quickly. (Security hardly even noticed/​interested in the people going through, very different to experiences at some other airports)
The negative points of the place are that the facilities are very very minimal. You really would not want to stay here very long as food and shopping options are pretty basic.
Good airport to fly into and very handy for Milan, but if you get delayed you better have a good book with you.

It’s location is perfect. Clean and sometimes contested. Easy connection airport in the city of fashion

This is a small cute little airport
If you stay in centro Milano this is the easiest airport to fly in and out from
It is easy to check in and fast through security
The food selection, although plentiful, is not so good. Best to bring food with you
On the other side of security are lots of eye candy shops

The small city airport in Milan is sort of a mixed experience. The good thing is the location and that it is fairly quick and easy to get through security (at least if being able to use the fast track). They are usually not at all interested in you removing liquids or laptop from the bag when going through security so that also speeds things up.
The facilities at the airport are pretty poor and as often is the case in Italy it is run-​down and organization is poor or non-​existent. There is the standard selection of small cafes and restaurants offering over-​priced foods. I usually try to use the lounge, it is pretty decent (apart from the staff being rude) and has some snacks and comfortable seats. There are also a number of shops selling mainly designer bags and clothes, prices are neither better nor worse than in the city so if you have some time to kill it may be worth having a look around.
The airport has a major issue with lack of proper gates so it is common with being forced to take a bus both when disembarking or when boarding which of course is annoying as it takes extra time. Staff at the airport seem to dislike working there as they are often rude and/​or disinterested in doing their job. I still frequent the airport since it is a better location for me than Malpensa (the other, big, airport in Milan) and Malpensa largely has the same issues as Linate (except for the gates) so not really a big difference. Still it is not an awful airport and I try to minimize the time I spend there.

Visited this airport twice on my trip to Italy. Very quick check in and although the security is quick and easy, it’s a little too easy to get away with anything. Did have a great sandwich though. That’s always a plus.

Quick check in, quick security line, security didn’t seem too secure with metal detectors going off and no one caring. Nice little café by gate A01 with good Italian sandwiches!

Not much to say really.
A small airport but it seemed to have all the things you’d expect: bank, post office (where time stands still), restaurants, newsagents, car hire etc.
I think it’s the closest to Milan and UK smokers will rejoice in the relative novelty of indoor smoking booths. Those two things are pretty unrelated.
Anyway, a good portal to a great city but nothing to write home about.

Ich bin dort umgestiegen und habe 3 Stunden dort gehockt. Leider nerven die in Endlosschleifen laufenden Werbe– und Kurznachrichtenfilme, da der Ton nicht stummgeschaltet wurde. Aufgefallen sind mir die Warnung vor Plagiaten «Fake Time-​real jail». Ansonsten ein blitzblanker und gepflegter Flughafen. Dieser Flughafen ist nur eine Zwischenstation für Reisen mit dem Ziel außerhalb der EU, daher braucht man einen Ausweis nur um die Buchung beim Check-​in abzufragen.

Well, it’s an airport after all ;)
Small, close to town, and during /​after Milano Fashion Week a good spot for people watching :)

Great wifi and ample seating, but my goodness what a chore and annoyance trying to get around and find the right section for the gates

Little dirty, but quick easy local airport that’s much closer to the city center. Ideal for heading to Sicilia!

Very small airport located near city center. Security check in about 20 minutes. Sent all my liquids through in backpack. No one said anything or stopped me. Doesn’t make me feel safe. Hotel was about 15 minutes away in traffic.
No problems getting around. Duty-​free booze was much cheaper here than Ireland. Just praying flight is on time Because the waiting area is very small and about 20 to 30% of the people have to stand.

Milan has two major airports. While you probably won’t board a flight at Linate (LIN) to go to the U.S. or Canada, you could definitely board a flight within Europe, to places such as London, Paris, and Frankfurt, though this is sort of thought as Milan’s domestic airport for flights within Italy. I would venture to say that the bulk of the flights are to and from other Italian airports.
Milan Linate is very close to the city. It’s not particularly big, and it could use updating. Mostly, I like that you can go to Milano Centrale, the city’s main train station, and catch a quick and inexpensive bus to Linate Airport. As you fly out of Linate, you can look out and see that it’s immediately adjacent to Milan, and not in the countryside.
The funny thing is that I didn’t use Linate to travel within Italy. I used it for boarding the first segment of an international flight to the States connecting in Copenhagen and operated with medium-​sized Scandinavian Airlines aircraft. Linate Airport is squarely a 3 star event.

Small airport. If the airlines lose your luggage, I wish you patience… The office handling lost luggage claims is slow, understaffed and the process takes too long (we waited several hours, thanks Lufthansa!!!). In general, airport is marked well and tidy. Access from the city is easy. Had a panini and OJ at the café and was very happy! Customs office is located on the second floor if you will get back your VAT. Overall, it has all the convenience of a small airport. The views before landing is breathtaking and hotels close-​by are decent.

This is the closest airport to Milan downtown, but consider it isn’t wheel-​chair accessible and if you’re a backpacker flying with Alitalia flying from here for the first time you’ll probably need 10 more minutes to check-​in. Alitalia desks spot the whole departures area depending on the destination and if you have a backpack to drop off, after luggage check-​in you’ll have to bring it to the bulky luggage desk close to… Lufthansa’s desks.
Cleaning service is run by people who simply don’t care much about: at 7 am you may not find toilet paper and soap, and you may hear from them there are robbers among them!
Also, there’s a shameful water waste: automatic toilets’ flush run continuosly while your in.

The airport is very close to the city. It is very small, not a lot of shops and cafes.
Security takes sometimes very long. That is due to the missing space for enlargement.
So it is very far from todays airport standards. The clear advantage is its location.
Attention: fog is very likely mainly in winter and autumn.

Sehr nah am Stadtzentrum, wir benötigten am gestrigen Sonntagnachmittag knapp 15 Minuten von der Innenstadt. Das ist sehr cool. Der Flughafen selbst erinnert auf den ersten Blick nur an London-​City, denn er ist verwinkelt und dann größer, als man zunächst vermutet. Lufthansa-​Schalter sind etwas weiter hin, jedoch gut zu finden, dort hatten wir dann richtig Glück, sehr professioneller Service, man merkt, dass hier viele Businessreisende an– und abfliegen. Hier sprechen sie auch endlich mal richtig Englisch. Da wir wie immer auf den letzten Drücker boarden wollten, wurden wir ausgerufen… uns kam dann ein LH-​Angestellter entgegengerannt. Wir waren schon wieder auf eine «Gardinenpredigt» eingestellt und ware nicht schlecht überrascht, als er sich als erstes erkundigte, ob er unseren Nachnamen auch richtig ausgesprochen hätte. Kein Drängen, keine Unfreundlichkeit nichts.
Das Angebot an Shops hat mich in Anbetracht der «Größe» des Flughafens positiv überrascht, man findet sie überall. Leider haben wir zu spät gemarkt, dass hinter den Sicherheitskontrollen die besseren Cafés, Bistros zu finden sind. Stattdessen haben wir im Ciao Ristorante schnell einen Salat gegessen (dort gibt es das übliche Autogrill-​Angebot). Als wir kamen, war nur ein einziger weiterer Tisch besetzt, Kantinenatmosphäre, Buffet so gut wie leer.
Der Flughafen ist modern, tiefe Decken, gute Ausschilderung. Negativ ist mir nichts wirklich aufgefallen, jedoch mag das dem Umstand geschuldet sein, dass wir gestern für uns inklusive Abreise hier alles ungewöhnlich glatt lief und man dann gerne den Ort an sich in guter Erinnerung behält. Ich kann mir zB gut vorstellen, dass die Sicherheitsabfertigung bei hohem Verkehr sehr nervig werden kann, hier standen sie gestern schon bis hinter die Türen. Irgendwie scheint es hier auch gleichzeitig rein– und raus zu gehen, zumindest sahen wir duty-​free-​Geschäfte fast direkt am Eingang — sehr ungewöhnlich.

C’est propre, c’est pas trop grand donc on passé assez rapidement les contrôles. La zone duty free est correcte, mais vraiment sans plus. L’avantage et l’inconvénient de cet aéroport, c’est qu’il est proche du centre ville avec ses aléas de circulation.

I dont know why but I just didnt like it here. It felt a bit rushed and was a little stuffy and all the staff looked as if they hated being there. Not much in the way of quality food and drink either.

beau duty free même si aujourd’hui on n’a plus de grand interet pour les lignes européennes
