No one was there to greet me when I returned to Milan... oh well, the solution for getting home was the Malpensa Express! Tickets available online or with a credit card, clear and precise directions to the platforms, a clean train, just a few stops, and you’re at Cadorna! My trust was well placed!

An efficient and comfortable train ride between Milan Centrale and the airport at Malpensa. The day I travelled the train announcements alerted us to a delay and the need to change stations and even this was efficient and didn't actually delay us. A great way to get to the airport.

Everything went well—I was able to change my reservation online because the flight was delayed, and there were no problems. The central station is beautiful, so the trip got off to a great start.

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.

Would be better, if there was no need for an app or an account. Try to buy tickets in a hurry, it's impossible. I missed my train because of too complicated ticket system. PDF-tickets straight to email, no need for an account and an app.
