Peak season:
Milan is busiest with tourism from July to early September, although August usually sees many of the local Milanese venture off on their own holidays. February to March and September to October see huge crowds visit Milan for the famous Milan Fashion Week. You’ll definitely need to plan well in advance and secure your flight tickets as soon as you can to have any chance of making a saving during these events.
Off season:
To avoid the crowds, plan your visit around March to May when springtime comes into play and the weather starts to warm up. You’ll find cheap flights to Milan a lot more easily around then, as well as cheaper accommodation. Autumn is similar, although sometimes slightly more expensive as the Milan Fashion Week takes place. September also sees the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix, so this will increase the price of flight tickets. Due to this, make sure you book your flights to Milan in advance to avoid overpaying.

With a bit of luck and comparison, you can find return flights to Milan for as little as £30 per person, so it’s definitely worth booking in advance and doing a bit of research beforehand. Try to avoid sitting next to a wing as you’ll have your view obscured as you fly over the Alps. The view is absolutely stunning as you see deep pools of blue river intertwined with the white peaks of the mountains.

Linate International Airport, officially called Airport Enrico Forlanini – after the Italian inventor and aeronautical engineer born in Milan – is one of three major airports in Milan. It was completely reconstructed in the 1950s, as well as the 1980s, in order to accommodate the increasing number of tourists visiting the area each year, and in 2010 it handled more than eight million passengers. Flights to Milan Linate International Airport come from hubs in the UK and Europe.
Comprising one fairly tired-looking terminal building with two levels, Linate International can be somewhat crowded and chaotic at times. Thankfully, however, staff are friendly and helpful. There are five airbridges, which means that numerous flights are boarded via airport shuttles, thus increasing waiting times for many passengers.
Perhaps the greatest benefit of using Linate International is its close proximity to the city centre. Located only 8km (5 miles) south-east of Milan, it’s a short, 15-minute drive to the capital of Lombardy.
