Access roads from Milan are A8, A26. A new road is planned linking the A4 Milan-Turin highway to Milan's western ring road.

Milan Airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 serves arrivals and departures for international and domestic services. While there is an on-going problem with the transfer of airlines to Malpensa from Linate the airport authorities advise travellers to check with their airline about which terminal they should use.

All arrivals and departures facilities at Milan Airport are located at street level. The interior has marble floors and air conditioning. Signs are in Italian and English. The Arrivals lounge has all necessary onward transportation and information facilities but a small annoyance is the lack of an interior link with Departures. It is only a short walk along the covered forecourt but inconvenient none the less.

Staying in contact with the outside world is not a problem as there are probably more telephones per square metre than any other airport terminal in Europe. In Departures there is not only surplus of phones but also a plethora of pillars, which support the low-roofed check-in area. You may find baggage claim to be intimidating.

The biggest German Shepherd dog in Milan patrols the area attached to an armed guard. There is a regular, free shuttle bus service between the airport's two terminals, which departs from the forecourt.

Facilities are not quite as extensive as those at Terminal 1 but all the expected requirements for travellers are catered for. There is a regular, free shuttle bus service between the terminals, which departs from the forecourt outside the terminal.
