Milan Linate Airport
Linate is Milan's city airport, just east of the centre, with many domestic and European flights. A private transfer from Geneva is a practical alternative to a connecting flight or train for business travellers, families heading to Lombardy or passengers rebooked after a cancellation, and it crosses the Alps through the Mont Blanc Tunnel without any change of transport.

Chauffeur's tipWeekday evenings in Milan are very congested. For an early evening flight from Linate, we usually advise leaving Geneva at least an hour earlier than the bare drive time.
Across the Alps by the Mont Blanc Tunnel
From Geneva Airport your chauffeur crosses into France and follows the A40 up the Arve valley to Chamonix. The Mont Blanc Tunnel takes you under the massif to Courmayeur in Italy, and the A5 motorway then descends the Aosta Valley past Aosta and Ivrea. The route joins the A4 towards Milan, bypasses the city and reaches Linate on its eastern side. The 346 km take around 4 h, including the tunnel crossing. When the tunnel is closed, an alternative via the Simplon or Great St Bernard can be used.
Arriving at Linate
Linate is a single-terminal airport, so drop-off is simple: your chauffeur stops at departures and helps with your luggage. Its location close to the city centre also makes it easy to combine with a stop at a Milan hotel or office if you have time. AirportsTransfers.ch also offers the return trip: you are met in Linate arrivals with a name sign and driven back over the Alps to Geneva.
Practical advice
The Mont Blanc Tunnel occasionally has waiting times or scheduled closures, which we check before your departure. Identity documents are needed, as you pass through France and into Italy. A Mercedes S-Class suits business trips; the V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags. Child seats are available on request, and in winter the chauffeur adapts the timing to conditions in the Arve and Aosta valleys.
