Flights to Milan

Milan has two main airports: Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Milan Linate (LIN). Some 45 kilometres (28 miles) east is Orio al Serio Airport (BGY), serving the hilltop city of Bergamo – but named ‘Milan Bergamo’ by Ryanair.

Parma Airport (PMF) is sometimes suggested, too, but at 130 kilometres (81 miles) away, it should only be a last resort.

Direct flights to Milan depart from 11 UK airports to Malpensa and Linate. Flights take two hours on average.

Most services from UK airports land at Malpensa, and that usually includes the cheapest Milan flights.

Departing from London? British Airways has 2-4 daily services out of Heathrow (LHR), Ryanair has two a day leaving Stansted (STN) and easyJet has two options: 3-6 flights a day from Gatwick (LGW) and 1-2 from Luton (LTN). All are year-round offerings.

So too are easyJet’s services from Manchester (MAN) and Edinburgh (EDI), both daily, and from Glasgow (GLA) three times a week. Flybe’s route from Cardiff (CWL) runs four times a week. BMI has increased its frequency on Milan flights, with up to five weekly flights between Bristol (BRS) and Malpensa in summer, and three per day during winter.

Flybe runs winter-only services from Birmingham (BHX) and Manchester between October and March.

The only UK flights to Linate are from London airports.

British Airways flies 4-6 times a week throughout the year from Heathrow, while Italy’s national carrier, Alitalia, operates on the same route.

From Gatwick you can board cheap flights to Milan with easyJet. Alitalia also operates from London City (LCI) four times daily, year round.

Ryanair serves Milan Bergamo from Stansted, Belfast (BFS), Bristol, East Midlands (EMA), Manchester (all year round) and Edinburgh (summer only).

The Stansted service is the most regular, departing four times a day.

The cheapest flight deals to Milan are usually available in the winter months, although prices spike around Valentine’s Day, when amore is in the air.
