Route Overview: Nice to Malpensa Airport

The transfer from Nice to Malpensa Airport is our most time-critical cross-border route — the one where departure timing matters most and where the reliability of a fixed-price private transfer with real-time flight tracking becomes not a luxury but a necessity.

Leaving Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), your hotel on the Promenade des Anglais or any address on the Côte d’Azur, the route heads east on the A8 La Provençale through Monaco, past Cap-d’Ail and Menton and across the Pont Saint-Louis border at Ventimiglia. The A10 Autostrada dei Fiori carries the journey along the Riviera Ligure di Ponente through Bordighera, Sanremo, Imperia, Alassio, Savona before the A26 climbs through the Ligurian Apennines to Genova. From Genova, the A26 heads north through the Passo dei Giovi into the Pianura Padana at Alessandria before the A7 carries the route toward Milan. At the Milan ring road, the A8 Autostrada dei Laghi — the Motorway of the Lakes — heads northwest through Busto Arsizio and Gallarate to arrive at Malpensa Airport.

Milan Malpensa Airport (Aeroporto Internazionale di Milano Malpensa) is Italy’s premier intercontinental gateway — the airport of choice for travelers connecting from the French and Italian Rivieras to long-haul destinations across North America, South America, Asia, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Terminal 1 — the main terminal — handles all ITA Airways intercontinental and mainline European flights, Lufthansa, Air France, British Airways, Swiss, KLM, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Singapore Airlines, Air Canada, United and all major full-service carriers. Terminal 2 — 4 km from T1, connected by free shuttle bus — handles easyJet and some low-cost carriers. Specify your terminal at booking; our drivers know exactly where to drop off for each airline and check-in area.
