The experience of traveling from Malpensa airport to Milano Cadorna was great even before departure with the train attendants who supported me in buying my ticket online , on the train with the sockets to charge my cell phone that was about to turn off, the very kind train conductor who had reassured me that even without bar queues my ticket was valid and the convenience of arriving in downtown Milan without changes. Arrived ,I had breakfast in the Cadorna station itself with a pistachio briosche and a capuccino that I had never tasted so good. This my review is real , I spent very well these 90 minutes in train and station from Malpensa to Cadorna. Happy holidays to all! Hung
