How many hours to arrive at Malpensa Airport before departure

Hi,

I am going to book Malpensa Express tickets online and plan to arrive at the airport 3 hours before my international flight. Would it be sufficient for me to check in and process the tax refunds?
Thank you.

3h is enough plenty.

You don't need to book Malpensa Express tickets in advance, though, since their price is fixed.

Easy to purchase Malpensa Express tickets at the station. Make sure to validate them prior to boarding the train.

We generally arrive at the airport about 3 hours in advance. We would rather wait at the gate than to make a last minute, frenzied appearance. Malpensa is easy to navigate.

Buon viaggio,

Malpensa is a very small airport, easy to walk through, a few stores selling mainly food items, 2 hours should be plenty of time.

Happy Travels✨💫

Thank you.
I am just wondering if i should take the bus instead, easier to manage my luggage that way?
