Milan Linate Airport (LIN), named after Enrico Forlanini, is Milan's city airport on the eastern edge of the city, and SEA runs it. It is one of Milan's three airports, with Malpensa (MXP) and Bergamo (BGY), and handles flights within Italy and Europe. All flights use one terminal, with arrivals on the ground floor.
Flights from Italy and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks; from outside the Schengen area, including the UK and Ireland, you go through passport control first. After baggage claim you walk through customs into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.
Italy is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the euro.
Entry requirements and local notes
Schengen entry. Italy is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Three Milan airports. Milan is also served by Malpensa (MXP) and Bergamo (BGY), both far from Linate. Check the code on your ticket and book the pickup at the airport you actually land at.
Area C and pedestrian streets. Central Milan inside the Cerchia dei Bastioni is a restricted traffic zone (Area C), and streets around the Duomo and in Brera are pedestrian. Give your full address; your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.
City tax. Milan charges a tourist tax per person per night, which your hotel or rental host collects on top of the room rate.
