Best way to travel in Milan Malpensa Airport by a Taxi

Taking a taxi to the downtown is expensive: €90 (fixed fee for a City-Airport trip, without further stops). Only taxis registered in Milan itself have signed up to the fixed fee agreement - taxis from outlying cities (which you will also find at Malpensa) have not signed on to the agreement, and will take you to Milan, but will charge you the meter reading (generally €80+ in light traffic).

If on entering a taxi you do not see a card on the window or rear of the driver/passenger seats and then you are in a non-Milanese taxi. You can request the fixed fee, and if the driver refuses and then take the next taxi in the rank. You may find that if you take the fixed fee from a non-Milanese taxi then they take a slower non-toll road rather than the toll paying motorway (tolls are ALWAYS paid by the driver so are included in the meter or fixed fee). Fixed fee are inclusive of all extra charges, night and holidays extra charge, but can only be applied if the journey has no intermediate stops. Otherwise the total price indicated by taximeter will be applied.

Other destinations:

To/from Exhibit area (Fiera di Milano / Rho) - €60

How to get around in Milan Malpensa Airport

GPS 45.6366|8.7352 Template:Mapshape Malpensa Express The two terminals are connected by a free shuttle bus service (Linea A) that takes about 10 minutes. According to the sign at the bus stop at Terminal 1, this service runs every 7 minutes between 05:46 and 22:34 and then every 30 minutes between 23:07 and 05:37. These times should only be considered a rough guideline – expect some waiting time. The shuttles are very small and the frequency is inadequate: long queues tend to form, which prompts several taxi drivers to station right next to the stop and pick up those passengers who don't want to wait. It is not uncommon for passengers to wait up to 40–45 minutes for the transfers: most shuttles are packed full, forcing passengers to wait for the next one.

You can also take this free shuttle if you need to go to one of the hotels in the small village between Terminal 1 and 2. Just get off at stop Case Nuove, which is the second stop starting from Terminal 1 right after the stop called Handling.

Check-in

Terminal 1: The check-in counters are located at the 3rd floor and the gates at the 2nd floor.
Terminal 2: Check-in desks and Arrivals are on the ground floor. The departure gates are on the first floor.
