How Far is Malpensa from Linate?

Connecting between Milan Linate Airport (LIN), located close to the city center, and Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), the main international hub located 50 km northwest, is a frequent requirement for passengers changing airlines. With tight layover windows, navigating this 60 km distance efficiently is critical. This guide presents a direct comparison of private transfers, airport shuttle buses, and train connections, including fares, logistics, and transit times. During typical daytime traffic (10:00 to 15:00), the drive takes about 50 minutes. However, during morning rush hours (07:30 to 09:30) or evening commute hours (17:00 to 19:30), congestion along the Milan northern ring road (A52 and A8) can increase transit times to 1 hour 15 minutes or more. A common delay is customs or passport inspections when transferring from international flights at Linate, which can add 30-40 minutes before you reach the arrivals hall. In addition, flight delays can cause you to miss pre-scheduled hourly shuttle buses, which only run a few times per day between the terminals.
