Milan's airports and travel connections

Milano or Milan is like most major bustling cities, with a good affordable network of trains, airports, trams, buses and the metro.
When you first arrive into Milan you'll either arrive at one of the three airports. Malpensa is the main International Airport located around one hour away from the centre of Milan to the North West of the City, and actually very close to the border of Piedmont. Malpensa is the main hub for long haul flights, usually from the Americas, Far East and Middle East.
Bergamo is the second busiest of the airports in the region and is around fifty minutes outside of Milan to the North East of the City.
Bergamo Orio Airport is well positioned for travelling to the lakes, Brescia and Verona. Recently Bergamo Airport has been undergoing lots of refurbishment, adding new restaurants, bars and square meters in the process. The airport mainly deals with short haul flights to the rest of Europe and other parts of Italy, with flights running frequently with carriers such as Ryanair and Easyjet.
Linate airport is perfectly located for a short taxi or bus journey into the centre of the City. Based only fifteen to twenty minutes to the south east of the City of Milan, Linate is usually used by the business community to connect quickly to the financial quarters of  Milan.
Carriers such as British Airways, Alitalia, BMI and some Easyjet flights, frequent the airport.
