Can you get to Lugano from Malpensa directly?
I know Lugano is only about an hour from Milan but I can't find any information about if you can get there directly from Malpensa airport. It seems out of the way to go all the way into Milan and then back past MXP. Does anyone know what train stations would have connections? (Maybe Saronno?)
I'll be at the end of a 17 day trip in July and have the last three nights at the Hotel Cervo at MXP. I'm planning one day trip to Lake Como but that leaves me with one full day and I though Lugano looked interesting. I realize you can't see much in one day but due to my flights being changed I had to change my plans from three nights in Como to spending them at MXP and doing day trips. So if getting there from MXP is not too bad a trip I thought I'd check it out. Any suggestions?

Thanks GAC, I knew you would know. I did go to the airport site before I even posted the question, and again just now but can't seem to find what you are talking about. I see the shuttle, lots of parking places and a few hotels, but nothing about bus service. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

Isabel, look in the website
www.sea-aeroportimilano.it
"Collegamenti e Parcheggi"
"Pullman"
Click on the second page of the "Pullman" section and you will see information about the "All Pullman Bus Express" airporter bus service from Lugano and Chiasso to Malpensa. On page three of this section there is the reverse service. If you click on the name of the bus company, you'll be able to view the actual timetables (8 runs daily, 70 mins. travel time, 20 Euros one way/35 Euros round trip, no reservation needed). Buses leave from Malpensa Terminal 1, Door 4, bus stall 19
Currently, buses leave from Malpensa Terminal 1 at:
