Travel
We know a trip to Italy requires a considerable amount of planning, time and money, and we're very grateful for the sacrifices each of you are making in order to join in our celebration. Below are some details which will help to plan your travel to the location.
Getting to the Venue
The closest airport is Milan Malpensa (MXP) with a flight time of 2 hours from any London airport and 2 hours 40 mins from Dublin airport. Stansted & Dublin airports offer flights with RyanAir which arrive at Milan terminal 1 whereas Gatwick airport is serviced by Easyjet, arriving at terminal 2.
We recommend using Google Flights or SkyScanner to find the best flights, then book direct with airline.
You can also fly into Milan Linate, a smaller airport which is primarily serviced by British Airways at a similar cost.
The transfer time from Milan Malpensa airport to Luino takes 50 minutes when traveling by car or taxi which we recommend as the most convenient way. If you are wanting to hire a car, both terminals have a large selection of providers which we found reasonably priced, around £40 per day for an SUV.
