A deeply indulgent destination, Milan is a city that oozes style and glamour, is filled with fabulous shopping and dining options, and is overflowing with an exciting history and a colourful culture. Best known for the unique styles that grace the stage during the multiple Fashion Weeks, this location has plenty of other things to offer, such as the Casa Museo Boschi-Di Stefano, the Orto Botanico, and the San Siro Stadium. Cheap flights to Milan are easy to find, provided you either book in advance, or stay clear of the city during major events.

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.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Milan?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Milan could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Milan?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Milan in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
