Getting Around LIN Airport
Linate Airport operates from a single three-story terminal, making it relatively straightforward to navigate. On the ground level, you'll find all the essentials for arrival and departure: check-in counters, baggage claim areas, and several service counters. This level also hosts a secondary departure gate area primarily used for bus boarding to aircraft parked on the apron. If you're catching a flight that boards by bus, this is where you'll head.
The first floor of the terminal is the main departure area. Here, you can access multiple shops, restaurants, and additional service facilities, making it a good spot to relax and wait for your flight. The terminal is equipped with five jet bridges, facilitating direct boarding to the aircraft without the need for bus transfers. For gates that require bus boarding, you'll be directed back to the ground level. The layout is compact, but during peak times, moving between the floors can take a bit longer, so keep an eye on your flight status and allow extra time as needed.
