About This Transfer
Milan Malpensa is the closest major international airport to Lugano, Switzerland, and many travellers to Ticino fly into Malpensa specifically because of its wider choice of international routes compared to Lugano's own small regional airport. A private chauffeur transfer covers the 80km cross-border journey in around 60–75 minutes, taking you directly to your hotel, villa, or business meeting without the hassle of connecting trains and a border crossing on public transport.
Our chauffeurs handle this cross-border route routinely, so there are no customs delays or paperwork for you to manage — just a comfortable, direct drive across the Swiss border. This route is popular with business travellers visiting Lugano's banking and finance sector, as well as leisure travellers heading to Lake Lugano.
Please note that as an international cross-border transfer, a valid passport or ID card is required, exactly as it would be for any other means of crossing into Switzerland.
