7:30 AM flight out of Malpensa - how do we do this?
We are using Marriott points to stay at the Marriott in Milan. I just noticed that we leave at 7:30 AM out of Malpensa. So, how do we get there in time? Is taxi the only option? Is taxi even an option at that time???? Yikes.

I realize u r using points to stay in Milan at the Marriott, but u may want to consider staying at a hotel near MXP that offers free shuttle service to MXP. U may be able to gt a rate at a hotel that is the same or less than a taxi ride from Milan to MXP and u could sleep a bit later.
We just stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Milan Malpensa in Somma Lombardo for 60 euros. The Novotel near MXP also offers some good rates on their web site. Last year we stayed for 70 euros.
We also had a fantastic meal at a little restaurant in Somma Lombardo!

You JUST noticed a 0730 takeoff---surely that had to be a major factor in your planning. MXP is a long way from Milan. You would need a taxi at 0430. I would stay at the airport---we use Hotel First.

I agree with yestravel and bob--we also stay
at First Hotel and love the little restaurant right by it, Ristorante LaQuerica. I feel you need to be near the airport and not in Milan with a flight that early. Happy travels!!!!

Hello rbnwdln, if this appeals to you versus staying at a hotel by the airport or paying for a taxi you can take the Malepensa Shuttle from the Centrale (Central) Train Station in Milan to Malpensa. The first shuttle bus would get you there right after 5:00 a.m. Here is the schedule.

I've never had trouble with lining up a taxi at 4:30 am in the morning in Milano. I ask the hotel desk to reserve one for me. There is no traffic at that hour.
If this isn't a translatlantic flight, you don't need to be at the airport until 6:30am anyway.
