metropolitan area1 MILLIMC

MIL is the city code for the Milan airport system, not one airport. It covers Malpensa (MXP), Linate (LIN) and Bergamo/Orio al Serio (BGY). Milan is better understood as a multi-airport origin-and-destination market than as a single alliance mega-hub: MXP is the main long-haul and international gateway for northern Italy, LIN is the close-in business airport with domestic and European flying, and BGY is the low-cost-heavy airport with a large Ryanair presence. For frequent flyers, the key rule is to check the actual airport code before booking connections, because changing airports is a landside transfer across the region, not a normal terminal change.
