Question about MXP (Milan International airport)
Hi All,
Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. I'm flying on United (UA 968) from EWR (New Jersey) into MXP, and from what I show, United arrives in Terminal 1 (I believe it's 1C). My friend is flying on Delta (Delta 418) from JFK (New York) and he arrives in Terminal 1 (I believe its 1B).
My flight arrives 15 mins before his and we were planning on initially meeting at the gates (either I meet him at his gate if my flight arrives first, or he will meet me at my gate if his flight arrives first.) We both are doing carry on.
Do you know if we can walk to each other gates without any issues, and then go through immigration? Or if that is not allowed to go to that particular section.
Our second option is meeting at the Caffe Milano at the airport if we are unable to meet at the arriving gates. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

No, you should not plan to meet at arriving gates. International arrivals are different from departures so you will be directed to pass through immigration. Passengers from one arriving flight cannot comingle at the arrival gates.
You can meet after passing through customs, or at your 2nd option, the cafe.

I just flew into and out of MXP. All arrivals are automatically sent through special entrances directly to Border Control, Customs. You could not even get to where your friends arrives. There is no such thing as "arrival gates".
Meeting at cafe is easiest and most comfortable. Either of you could be late or face other delays.
