Best time to go to Milan

Peak Season:

Milan's peak season begins in June and ends in early September. These months are warm and beautiful, but also exceedingly crowded. The influx of tourists is no surprise, as this season is great for indulging in one of the many outdoor activities, such as viewing the city from the Branca Tower, cruising through Lake Como, or exploring the Giardini Pubblici.

Shoulder Season:

Finding inexpensive flights to Milan gets easier from April to May, and late September to October. Flights at this time of the year mean will find the crowds are thinner and the climate is stunning. Because of this, these months are great for visiting some of the more popular spots, like Piazza Duomo, the Teatro alla Scala, and Corso Vittorio Emanuelle II.

Off Season:

The lack of tourism from November through May makes finding cheap flights easier, as many locals are also away on holiday, finding inexpensive accommodation is considerably harder. If you find a good deal on a hotel, grab it quick, as the cool climate makes this a great time to visit such indoor attractions as the Saint Ambrose church, and the Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology.

How to survive the flight to Milan?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in Milan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Milan?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Milan, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
