Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel and Parking Packages
Milan Malpensa is the main international airport for northern Italy, handling long-haul and European flights 50km north-west of the city. Driving to Malpensa from Milan, from the Italian lakes region, or from Piedmont is common, and official airport parking for a week-long trip adds a noticeable cost. Two hotels close to the terminal offer park and fly packages with shuttle services.
How it works
Book your hotel and parking package through Aerfortel. Drive to the hotel the evening before your flight and park in the hotel car park. The morning shuttle takes you to the terminal. Malpensa has two terminals: T1 for most carriers, T2 primarily for easyJet. Confirm your terminal when you check in. Return shuttles operate from both terminals.

Frequently asked questions
Do these hotels serve both Malpensa Terminal 1 and Terminal 2?
Both hotels run shuttles to both terminals. T1 is the main terminal for most carriers including Alitalia successors, Emirates, and other international airlines. T2 is used primarily by easyJet. Tell the shuttle driver which terminal you need; the difference in drop-off time is minimal but worth confirming.
Is parking at Malpensa expensive?
Malpensa’s official car parks range from covered short-stay at premium rates to open-air long-stay at more competitive daily fees. For trips of five days or more, the hotel park and fly package typically undercuts official airport parking once the room is included. Book in advance for the best hotel rates.
Can I drive to Malpensa from the Italian lakes?
Yes. Lake Maggiore is about 30 minutes from Malpensa, Lake Como about 45 minutes, and Lake Garda about 90 minutes. The airport is the natural departure point for travellers from the Lombardy and Piedmont lake districts. An overnight park and fly hotel before an early departure avoids the early morning drive entirely.
Is there a train from Malpensa to Milan city centre?
The Malpensa Express runs between Malpensa Terminal 1 and Milano Centrale in about 50 minutes, and to Milano Cadorna in about 40 minutes. If you want to spend an evening in Milan before your morning flight, parking at the hotel and taking the train in is feasible. Check with the hotel about the shuttle schedule for your return that evening.
