Any airport shuttles to Como?

Posted by (San Diego, CA) on

Howdy - We're a family of 5, flying into Malpensa on a Monday at ~8:30am, and we want to go straight to the city of Como. We can get there by train if we switch in Saronno, but we'll be exhausted since it will be the middle of the night to us. So I'd rather not switch trains (nor drive). Does anyone know if there is a shuttle/van service that goes straight to Como? That way at least we can nap on the way.

Also, does anyone know how long it takes to get through customs & get baggage at Malpensa, if coming from the U.S.? I suspect Monday morning might be a busy time, since it's a convention city & the expo is going on. Thanks!

Without warranty, I see this at Malpensa: http://www.europeanlimousine.it/
I figure an hour after pulling to the gate and I usually beat that. I have no recollection of any big delays, but it is what it is. Waiting for for luggage to come off the belt is usually the biggest delay. More concerned that flight is on time. Since it is something you can't control, not much use in worrying.

Try setting your watches or electronic devices to arrival-zone time as soon as you get on the plane to MXP so you will stop thinking in terms of "home time". It helps me,

It always depends on how many international flights arrive at the same time. It is like that in the US too. I know the one time we flew into Milan early in the morning we had to wait for the pass port control to open. I would also email your hotel in Como, I have had good success over the years with the hotel referrals for car service.
