Milan - Linate (LIN)

Advantages: good transport connections
Disadvantages:

Linate, which is now becoming overshadowed by the new hub at Malpensa is a typical tourist flight airport. Whilst it is just as close to the city centre, if not closer than Malpensa, it has the feel of being a tourist airport. There is a regular bus link which works out cheaper than getting a taxi into the city centre, and it is a fairly standard airport. There are all the usal things there, although when I was there the catering operations were ... Read review

Advantages: Small, charming, and not very crowded
Disadvantages: No shops, nothing amazing about it

...snow! Gradually we approached Milan Linate airport. We had a very smooth landing, and had come to a halt within ten minutes.

Not as wealthy as north Europeans, not as poor as southern Europeans, you can see where their allegiance lies. The pervasive racism of the place is brutal and wears you down, daily. Italy is NOT a diverse country, nor with am ...
...in the country, from every corner of the world. But all you see them doing, is either cleaning this or that. They are brutally stigmatised and unfairly taken advantage of. Listen, Italy, you're not making any more babies, and before you disappear altogether, give a thought to those, who will ensure you're well fed and taken of in the future. What I liked-the shopping, though it is very concentrated in a small zone in the centre of town. Though you ... Read review

Advantages: Economic
Disadvantages: Not much to do

...reasons i often travel to Milan with BMI. And Linate airport is the choosen airport. It seems very small to me and the lay out it is not very clear, for example trying to find the way from up stairs to departures it wasn't that easy. Once you have find one of the very complicated maps around the airport and find your way to departures, the dutyfree is very limited. Althought staff try to be helpful, there lack of Inglish is a barrier to obtein ... Read review
