I live near Malpensa, so for me is seample to take an airplan.
Many times I go with my parent's car. I start two hours before. I go to their house with my luggage and we drive to the airport. There are many car parking in the airport o near, where a bus bring you in Malpensa.
Malpensa is a big ariport and you could lose your bearing, so you could seek assistance at the information desk.
I take my ticket and walk to check in desk. I receve my bourding pass, where I look the flight number and the gate. I flought in the touristic class, and I prefered to take my fly on web, where I could have many discount on my fare. I prefer pay with Pay-Pall as form of payment.
So I wait for departure when the signal advise "now boarding".
