Malpensa Express

Even though I had step-​by-​step instructions for the Malpensa Express I still found the entire process confusing.
We had no issues making our way from baggage claim at the airport to the Malpensa Express ticket counter, but everything that occurred afterwards was a blur. We couldn’t figure out how to use the machine so we decided to purchase the ticket from the guy at the counter that spoke little to no English. After we validated our tickets we made our way to the platform, but couldn’t figure out which train to get on. We knew the stop that we needed to get off on, but none of the trains matched our destination.
Finally we found what we thought was our train, but we were puzzled why it remained empty for almost thirty minutes. We couldn’t believe that no one from our plane was using the Malpensa Express so we thought we must have gotten on the wrong train! Eventually the train loaded and left the station and before we knew it we were at the correct stop near our hotel.
The Malpensa Express is a very cheap way (10 € per person) to get from your hotel to the airport, but my husband wasn’t confident that we would get on the correct train again so on our way back to the airport we took a taxi instead.

Getting to Milan from the Airport was so easy thanks to this train station. The transit system here is amazing.

They prey on tourists who after buying a ticket the the date and time already printed on it that you have to validate it again. If you don’t, they make you buy a ticket onboard at a much higher price. They won’t validate it on the train. On the way to the airport, the conductor just punches a hole in the ticket to validate it. These people are rude and despicable.

Easy breezy and inexpensive way to travel from MXP International Airport into the city — Milano Centrale Railway Station to be exact where you could connect to other buses, trams or take a taxi to your exact location. Ride costs only 10 €.
The train is located just downstairs within the airport. You could purchase tickets online for a specific date and time which gives you a four hour time gap to use within your reserved slot. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend buying online for persons traveling from far distances since you could never be too sure if your flight might be delayed and for how long.
You could also purchase tickets from the machines downstairs just outside the train or at the office located right beside the machines which is probably easier to make a quick and easy transaction. They accept credit cards. We were unaware of validating the ticket prior to boarding but none of the train employees bothered checking if we even had tickets to begin with.

At the time we went, it was 16EUR for roundtrip/​person from and to Malpensa Airport from Milano Centrale Station. It was OK, took a 40 minute ride into the city, but expect an hour+ when there’s traffic. Also, IIRC, this is the shuttle that lacked free wi-​fi and it is the other company, Malpensa Shuttle, that has free wi-​fi. Either way, both companies charged the same rates pretty much.

Dieser Zug ist die direkte Verbindung vom Flughafen Malpensa nach Mailand, Bahnhof Candora. Der Preis hin und retour beträgt Euro 18,00, Fahrzeit ca. 40 Minuten. Der Zug ist sehr sauber und gepflegt und was sehr wichtig ist, klimatisiert.
Sonst gibts nix besonderes zu sagen, ist halt ein Zug -:)))

Im Gegensatz zu Rom kann man hier den Zug nehmen.
Wir fuhren um 18 € inkl. Retourfahrt von Malpanese ins Stadtzentrum zum Bahnhof Candora.
Zug war gut klimatisiert und sauber.
Fuhr in 36 min ins Zentrum.

Not bad… only 10EUR direct from the airport to Centrale. My flight had arrived MXP an hour early, so early that I’d have to wait an hour for the first Malpensa Express train.
Not sure if it’s the same time everyday, or a later start cause it’s Sunday — — but the train I caught was a 7:40am train.
Approximately an hour ride into the city — — nothing too glamorous to look at on the ride in. (Just nice to be off that long flight…)
I tried booking from the self-​service machines at the airport, but oddly it didn’t list Centrale — — so I just went in and purchased from a friendly, English-​speaking agent.
Remember to validate your ticket before you go on the train; however there was a bunch of train employees who walked up/​down — — but no one ever asked to see my ticket.
Convenient — — fair priced compared with taxi service; I’ll be using them again on my return trip to MXP.
Oh… one more thing, their website shows something about combining a ticket with a 24 or 48 day pass w some other discounts. (I probably should’ve done that. oh well.)
