Milan Linate Airport

Linate is about 7 to 8 km (5 miles) east of central Milan, the closest of the city's three airports. Metro line M4 reaches San Babila, near the Duomo, in about 12 minutes, coaches reach Milano Centrale in about 25 minutes, and a taxi or car usually takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.

Yes. Metro line M4 starts at Linate Aeroporto station, a short walk from the arrivals hall, and runs to San Babila in the center in about 12 minutes, then on across the city to San Cristoforo. At night, when the Metro is closed, the NM4 night bus covers the route.

Air Pullman and Autostradale coaches run from outside the terminal to Milano Centrale station in about 25 minutes. You can also take Metro line M4 and change to another line in the center, or take a taxi or pre-booked car door to door, which is easier with luggage.

No. Milan has three airports: Linate (LIN), on the city's eastern edge; Malpensa (MXP), about 50 km northwest, where most long-haul flights land; and Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY), about 45 km northeast near Bergamo. They are far apart, so check the code on your ticket before you plan your ride.

Linate has one passenger terminal for all flights. Check-in, baggage claim and the arrivals hall are on the ground floor, and the departure area with shops, restaurants and gates is on the first floor. Domestic, Schengen and non-Schengen flights, such as those from the UK, all use the same building.

ITA Airways flies the most routes from Linate, to Rome and many other Italian cities and to several European capitals. easyJet serves London, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and more, while Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, British Airways, Iberia, SAS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Aer Lingus, Aeroitalia, Eurowings and Luxair add flights to their home cities.

Yes, but only within Europe. Linate handles domestic Italian flights and flights to other European cities, including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Madrid and Dublin. Long-haul flights to North America, Asia and the Middle East use Malpensa, Milan's main international airport, so check which Milan airport your ticket shows.

Official white taxis wait at the taxi stand outside the arrivals area on the ground floor of the terminal. They go door to door anywhere in Milan. Wheelchair-accessible taxis can be booked through Milan's Radiotaxi services, and staff at the Sala Amica can help passengers who need assistance book one.

Italy is in the Schengen area, so flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks, while flights from the UK and Ireland go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.

Yes. ITA Airways' Runway Lounge is on the first floor of the Schengen departure area, open daily from 6:00 to 22:00, for eligible ITA, Star Alliance and Miles & More passengers. SEA's Sala Leonardo lounge also serves several airlines' premium passengers, and other travelers can buy entry at the lounge or online.

Yes. The left luggage desk is on the arrivals floor at ground level and is open from 7:00 to 20:00. It also accepts items you cannot take through security in your hand luggage, which you can collect when you return to the airport.

SEA runs the official parking lots at Linate: P1 XL, connected directly to the check-in area; P2 Executive, a covered multi-story garage with a covered walkway; P3 Smart, about two minutes' walk away; and P4 New, about ten minutes' walk away with a free shuttle bus. All can be booked ahead online.

Linate, like all of Italy, is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. Italy uses the euro, and cards and contactless payments are widely accepted at the airport and in Milan.
