Bologna to Milan
 
Is it possible to go directly by train from Bologna to the Milan airport?

Which airport?

I dont think you can get to either airport directly.

It looks like you can take a train from Bologna Centrale to Milano Rogoredo station which looks like a short distance from Linate airport (perhaps a short taxi ride away)

www.trenitalia.com for train schedules

Directions to Linate do not include options for trains so you cant get their directly: http://www.milanolinate-airport.com/...ns-and-parking

Directions to Malpensa show a change in central Milan: http://www.milanomalpensa-airport.co...rking/by-train

www.trenitalia.com yes for schedules and also to book discounted tickets that are however train-specific and may be hard to change or refund - full fare tickets can be bought in Bologna at the same price as online and you can then take any train of that type to Milano Centrale - you will get a seat reservation that is mandated with the ticket but it can be changed without any problem anytime I believe.

For lots of good stuff on Italian trains check: www.seat61.com - good advice on discounted tickets; www.ricksteves.comand www.budgeteuropetravel.com.

Trains leave Bologna Centrale at :36 after each hour for Milano Centrale and take 1 h 02 minutes. At Centrale either take the airport train or airport buses. If taking the train buy a thru ticket to the airport and jamikins outlines the other route via Milano Rogoredo station to the airport.

I think it may be easier just to go to Milano Centrale then train or frequent buses from there to the airport.

Take the train from Milano Centrale to MXP for Terminal 1 and the bus from Milano Centrale to MXP for Terminal 2.
