Travelling from the U.S.

It is difficult to find non-stop flights from the United States to Milan. Nevertheless, there are many one-stop flights between international airports like Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), Boston (BOS), Houston (IAH) and Dallas (DFW). These are not necessarily expensive. If you do not live very close to an international airport, we recommend flying to New York for a connecting flight to Milan. Presently, the only direct flights to Milan are offered by Delta Airlines and Alitalia that fly from New York JFK to Milan (Malpensa Airport). United Airlines also offers non-stop flights from Newark to Milan. All flights from the U.S. fly into Malpensa Airport.
