Five steps from research to ticketed booking. Every step is something our advisors do for you — but helpful to understand the process.
All US-Milan Business Class flights operate to MXP. Linate (LIN) is a smaller, closer-in airport but serves only intra-European routes. Don't accept a quote routing you through Linate from the US.
ITA A350 Business (1-2-1, full door, brand-new cabin) is the strongest product on JFK-MXP and EWR-MXP. Delta One Suite is competitive. American Flagship Suite operates on MIA-MXP and ORD-MXP.
Milan Fashion Week (late February and late September each year) saturates hotels and Business Class inventory. Shift your trip by 1-2 weeks if it doesn't overlap with your purpose for visiting.
Lufthansa (Frankfurt), Air France (Paris), and Iberia (Madrid) all offer 1-stop Business Class itineraries to Milan that beat the non-stop fare by $200-500. Worth checking on flexible dates.
ITA Airways operates both A350 (new cabin) and Boeing 777 (legacy cabin) on Milan routes — verify aircraft in writing.
