I thought the service was excellent. The train left on time, and even though there were quite a few passengers, I had no trouble finding a seat. There was a designated area for large suitcases, which was very convenient. For backpacks or small bags, there was plenty of legroom and space for those smaller items.

It’s a convenient, fast, and punctual service—the latter being particularly important since it connects to the airport, and we all know how crucial it is to stick to the schedule.

A short metro ride, arriving at Cadorna Station, then the express train—all the way to the left on platform 1—and off we go for 15 euros. Arrival at Malpensa Airport...

This is a very convenient tour format—I highly recommend it to everyone. Check-in was at 4 p.m., but we arrived at 11 a.m. We took a combo tour—we boarded a train and then transferred to a bus. We saw the city, got off to walk around a bit, got back on, and headed to our check-in location. We weren’t tired, saw all the main sights, and it’s very convenient with suitcases and kids) I highly recommend it to everyone!

The airport train arrived on time at Milan's central station. The online booking system is easy to use. I highly recommend it.

Easy to purchase. Easy to execute though signage at Milano Centrale was a bit lacking as was signage at Malpensa Airport.

The ride was great. However, encountered problems at the station as no one is able to give good advise when approached.
