About an hour and fifty minutes from Farnborough, Luton or London City to Milan Linate's business aviation terminal, then 15 to 20 minutes by car to the Duomo. Indicative one way from €11,000 for the whole aircraft, in a light jet.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in euros for this route.
Farnborough to Linate is 532 nautical miles, 612 statute miles, across France and over the Alps. Every cabin flies it non-stop, so the choice of aircraft follows the party and the luggage, not the range. From London City the flight is about 15 nm shorter; from Luton about 10 nm longer.
Italy is an hour ahead of London all year. Leave Farnborough at 8 am and you land at Linate at about 10.50 local time, in the Quadrilatero before lunch; leave Linate at 6 pm and you are back in London at about 6.50 pm, London time. A showroom visit, a lunch and a flight home fit in one day.
Linate is the city's airport, with its own business aviation terminal fifteen minutes from the Duomo. Malpensa, 45 minutes to the north-west, takes the largest cabins and the late arrivals, and is the closer airport for the western shore of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore.
Which London airport to leave from is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in London: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
Linate is the first choice for the city: the business aviation terminal clears passports and customs on site, and the Duomo, Brera and Via Montenapoleone are 15 to 20 minutes away by car. The airport publishes round-the-clock hours, but a late-night arrival or departure depends on the handler and the night arrangements, which we confirm when we book. In Fashion Week and the Salone del Mobile its parking is capped, so the operator requests the slot and the stand with the flight plan.
Malpensa is open around the clock with no weight limit. It suits a late return to Milan, a heavy jet that will stay parked for a week, and Lake Como's western shore, about 45 minutes by car. Bergamo Orio al Serio, open around the clock too, is the fallback when both Milan airports are full, and the closer one for Bellagio's side of the lake and Franciacorta.
Italy is in the Schengen area and the UK is not, so a flight from London is an international arrival: passports are checked and bags cleared inside the business aviation terminal at Linate or Malpensa, usually in minutes. The EU's Entry/Exit System registers the fingerprints and a facial image of non-EU travellers on their first entry, which takes a few minutes longer the first time. British passport holders need no visa for stays of up to 90 days in any 180.
Prices below are indicative one-way figures for the whole aircraft, not per seat, for an aircraft already in London. They cover the flight, crew and fuel; Milan's handling, parking and any positioning are quoted separately.
A day return with the aircraft waiting at Linate is usually priced well below two one-way flights. In Fashion Week we confirm the slot and the parking with the price.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.

| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Citation X+ | 9 | 1h 40m | €17,500 |

Prices are for Farnborough to Linate. London City takes approved aircraft types and operators only; Luton, Biggin Hill, Malpensa and Bergamo are quoted on the same basis.
London has more private airports than any other city in Europe. The choice comes down to where you start, how late you want to leave, and how large the aircraft is.
Private jet airports in London compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
The UK's only dedicated business aviation airport. Open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends, so a late flight means Luton or Stansted.
Open around the clock, with a slot for every flight; night slots are rationed to the quietest aircraft. Takes large cabins.
The closest runway to the centre. Only aircraft certified for its 5.5° approach may use it, and it closes overnight and from 12.30 pm on Saturday to 12.30 pm on Sunday.
Six-minute helicopter to Battersea. Open 6.30 am to 11 pm on weekdays, 8 am to 10 pm at weekends.
Linate has a dedicated business aviation terminal fifteen minutes from the Duomo and takes light, midsize and most heavy jets. Malpensa handles the largest cabins and overnight arrivals; Bergamo Orio al Serio is the fallback in Fashion Week and the closer airport for the eastern shore of Lake Como.
Flying private to Milan from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
The city airport, with its own business aviation terminal and customs on site. Published hours are around the clock, but late-night handling and arrangements are confirmed case by case, and parking is capped during Fashion Week and the Salone.
Open around the clock with no weight limit. The choice for VIP airliners and for a night arrival from the Gulf or the United States.
Lower fees and easier parking than Linate, open around the clock. Useful when Milan's two airports are full.
In London the airport follows where you start and when you fly; around Milan it follows where you are going: the city, one of the lakes or the hills to the east.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| West London, Surrey and Berkshire | Farnborough (FAB) | Takes every cabin. Open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays, 8 am to 8 pm at weekends. |
| The City and Canary Wharf | London City (LCY) | Five miles from the City, for aircraft and operators approved for its steep approach. Closed from 12.30 pm on Saturday to 12.30 pm on Sunday. |
| North London, Hertfordshire and late departures | London Luton (LTN) | Open around the clock with night slots for the quieter aircraft. |
| South-east London and Kent | Biggin Hill (BQH) | Open until 11 pm on weekdays and 10 pm at weekends, later than Farnborough. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The Duomo, Brera and the Quadrilatero | Milan Linate (LIN) | The business aviation terminal is 15 to 20 minutes from the centre by car. |
| Lake Como's western shore and Lake Maggiore | Milan Malpensa (MXP) | About 45 minutes to Como by car, open around the clock and with no weight limit. |
| Bellagio's side of Lake Como, Bergamo and Franciacorta | Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) | Open around the clock, with easier parking than Linate in the busy weeks; about an hour to Bellagio. |
Drive times are our indicative estimates for a normal hour; we plan the car around your landing.
A light jet such as the Phenom 300 or the Citation CJ3 suits four to six passengers on a day trip. A midsize jet like the Citation XLS+ adds a stand-up cabin and room for the samples and garment bags of a Fashion Week trip; a super-midsize or heavy jet suits a family with Lake Como luggage or a party of ten or more.
Six or seven seats and about an hour and fifty minutes to Linate. The usual choice for a day in Milan.
See the Phenom 300Eight or nine seats, a stand-up aisle and a larger hold: the Citation XLS+ or Latitude, the Challenger 350 or Citation X+.
See the Citation XLS+Twelve to fourteen seats for a family with staff or a board, about an hour and a half from Farnborough or Luton.
See the Falcon 900Milan fills twice a year for fashion and once for furniture, and on those weeks Linate's parking is allocated rather than requested. Outside them the airports are easy.
The return leaves Linate, Malpensa or Bergamo and takes about the same time; with the clock going back an hour, a 6 pm departure from Linate lands in London at about 6.50 pm. UK Border Force clears the arrival from the details the operator files before take-off.
Farnborough closes at 10 pm on weekdays and 8 pm at weekends and London City in the evening, so a late return goes into Luton, open around the clock, or Biggin Hill before 11 pm on a weekday. Linate publishes round-the-clock hours, but a late departure depends on the handler's night arrangements, which we confirm when we book; Malpensa is the fallback.
Flying into London from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to London.
Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about €11,000 in a light jet, €13,500 in a midsize jet, €17,500 in a super-midsize jet and €24,000 in a heavy jet, from Farnborough to Linate. Handling, parking and any positioning are quoted separately, and a day return with the aircraft waiting is usually priced well below two one-way flights.
About 1 hour 50 minutes in a light jet, stand to stand, and about 1 hour 35 in a heavy jet. Italy is an hour ahead of London, so a flight leaving at 8 am lands at about 10.50 local time; Linate is then 15 to 20 minutes from the Duomo by car.
Linate for the city: it has its own business aviation terminal and is 15 to 20 minutes from the centre. It publishes round-the-clock hours, but late-night handling is confirmed when we book. Malpensa is open around the clock, takes the largest cabins and is closer to the western shore of Lake Como. Bergamo is the fallback in Fashion Week.
There is no airport on the lake for jets, so the flight lands at Malpensa, about 45 minutes from Como by car, or at Bergamo, about an hour from Bellagio. A helicopter transfer can take you on to the lake; we book it with the flight.
Yes, in the cabin. From Great Britain a dog needs a microchip, a rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel and an animal health certificate issued within ten days of travel; Italy requires no tapeworm treatment. We arrange the paperwork with the handler.
