Looking for a city break in the heart of Italy? Book cheap flights to Milan, chic and cosmopolitan capital of the Lombardy region. Vibrant Milano, as it is named in Italian, is both Italy’s commercial centre and a Mecca of fashion and design with a long history dating back more than 2,000 years. Stunning architecture, priceless works of art and delicious Milanese cuisine await visitors to this city, which is full of timeless old world charm and Italian elegance. Such is Milan’s status as a centre of style that many of the nation’s foremost fashion houses – including Gucci, Prada, Armani and Versace – have their headquarters here. Milan has a wealth of historic and cultural sites as well as entertainment and accommodation options across its districts, which include the arty and bohemian Brera neighbourhood, old quarter Centro Storico, trendy Zona Tortona, the Quadrilatero d’Oro (Golden Quadrilateral) fashion district and others.
Book direct flights to Milan and you can take sightseeing trips to attractions such as Milan’s grand cathedral, the Duomo di Milano, as well as Sforza Castle, the famed La Scala opera house, Brera Art Gallery, and the Neoclassical Rotonda della Besana. For a Milan shopping trip, visitors shouldn’t miss the area between Piazza Cavour, Piazza San Babila and Piazza Duomo, the Fashion Quadrangle where many of the city’s most exclusive and most famed designer outlets can be found. Sports fans with return flights to Milan holidays will enjoy watching a match at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, home of the famed AC Milan and FC Internazionale Italian football teams. Cheap Milan flights to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), as well as Orio al Serio Airport (BGY) and Linate Airport (LIN) are offered by many major airlines, so you can save money on airline tickets to spend on a fantastic Italy holiday.
Milan Malpensa Airport, previously known as Aeroporto Citta diBusto Arsizio, is the largest of Milan’s three airports. With more than 100 airlines serving the airport, it’s Europe’s 21st busiest airport, having handled almost 19 million passengers in 2010. Flights to Milan Malpensa Airport arrive from main hubs in Europe, the UK, Asia, the US, Middle East and the Mediterranean.
Milan Malpensa constitutes two tired-looking passenger terminal buildings that are considerably far from one another. Fortunately, however, a shuttle service runs between them every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day. A new runway is currently underway, although flights are running to normal schedules. Construction of the new car park, by contrast, is restricting access to only a few public transport vehicles. As such, private vehicle owners are advised to park in P3 and the multi-storey car parks until further notice.
Although a fairly old airport, Milan Malpensa is efficient and staff are generally helpful and friendly. Queues usually flow easily and baggage handling systems are quick. Perhaps one major downside, is the airport’s lack of airbridges, which results in delays and long waiting times between gates and boarding.
