Peak season:
Milan is busiest with tourism from July to early September, although August usually sees many of the local Milanese venture off on their own holidays. February to March and September to October see huge crowds visit Milan for the famous Milan Fashion Week. You’ll definitely need to plan well in advance and secure your flight tickets as soon as you can to have any chance of making a saving during these events.
Off season:
To avoid the crowds, plan your visit around March to May when springtime comes into play and the weather starts to warm up. You’ll find cheap flights to Milan a lot more easily around then, as well as cheaper accommodation. Autumn is similar, although sometimes slightly more expensive as the Milan Fashion Week takes place. September also sees the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix, so this will increase the price of flight tickets. Due to this, make sure you book your flights to Milan in advance to avoid overpaying.
When is the best time to book flights to Milan?
If you book your flight to Milan in advance, you can find some great deals. Aim to have booked your flight tickets at least 2 months before you plan to fly to ensure you make the greatest savings. If you can be flexible with your dates, you’ll find the cheapest flights to Milan a lot more easily than if you’re set on a particular week. With a bit of luck and comparison, you can find return flights to Milan for as little as £30 per person, so it’s definitely worth booking in advance and doing a bit of research beforehand. Try to avoid sitting next to a wing as you’ll have your view obscured as you fly over the Alps. The view is absolutely stunning as you see deep pools of blue river intertwined with the white peaks of the mountains.

How to get from the airport to the city centre?
There are three different airports near Milan, and although you’ll usually find cheap flights for Malpensa, you could also end up at Linate or Bergamo.
The most frequently-used option is to jump on one of the buses that go from the airport to the city centre, however it is best not to pre-purchase your ticket for this, as even when certain ‘discounts’ are applied, you’ll still be paying more than necessary. There is usually a seller at the door of the bus who will sell you tickets for a lower price, although they only take cash so make sure you have some on you before you land. You could also opt for the train which is cheap and runs regularly. The train is definitely more suited if you don’t have too much baggage with you and want to arrive quickly. Lastly, you can opt for a taxi, however you could be looking at around 70 to 80 euros for a one-way trip, making it extremely expensive.
There is no train service, so your best bet would be to hop onto one of the many buses that arrive here. Purchase a ticket from the bus directly for the best prices and don’t expect to wait around longer than 20 to 30 minutes or so. There aren’t any baggage restrictions either, so the only inconvenience for taking too much will be your own ability to carry it all. You could jump into a taxi but it is very expensive. On average you’ll be looking at around 100 euros if you negotiate with the driver but it could run close to double that depending on whom you’re dealing with. Avoid taxis unless you want to give away your money.
There are frequent buses around every half an hour that pull up directly outside of the arrivals terminal. From here, you can stay on the bus all the way to the centre of the city for 5 euros, a fraction of the price for what a taxi would set you back. If you do decide you don’t want to get a bus, a taxi is the only other option unless you have arranged transport when you first booked your flights to Milan. Taxis usually charge between 20 and 30 euros depending on the time of day and the driver, although some might try and charge more than this.
