Early flight from Malpensa: where to stay the night before
A 6:30 departure means being at the airport by 4:30-5:00. From Milan that's a 3 am alarm and an expensive taxi; from Casorate Sempione it means sleeping until 4 and reaching the terminal in 10 minutes.

The evening before
- Arrive whenever you like after 15:00: the key lockbox code works at any hour.
- A fully equipped kitchen for dinner at home; 2 minutes' walk away there's the Osteria della Pista (also a pizzeria) and a pub.
- Pack in peace and book the shuttle by sending us the time on WhatsApp.
In the morning
The driver waits for you outside the gate at the agreed time and drops you at your terminal's departures in 10 minutes. Prices start from 30 € per trip; at night it may be a little higher and the driver confirms it before the ride. Either way it costs much less than a taxi from Milan.
Put the keys back in the lockbox, close the door and off you go: that's check-out, with no one to wait for.
With your own car
Park for free in Via De Amicis, a 2-minute walk away, all night. In the morning you're at the airport car parks, or at the terminal to drop someone off, in 10 minutes.
Schengen with hand luggage: 1 hour 30 minutes. Checked luggage or non-Schengen flights: 2 hours 30 minutes. Add half an hour on summer weekends and around holidays.
