Milan early morning flight vs train

I am considering on our Milan-Paris leg of the flight to either take the train which is 7 hours and I am sure beautiful and relaxing.
I was also looking at the possibility of flying with Easy Jet.
i was wondering what is the best way to get from the Central Train Station area to the Airport.
The flight is at 630 am I believe and not sure if that train would be running that early? Is there another way such as taxi. and if so how much would the taxi cost.
I am just weighing out which is the best option.
thanks

For a flight that early you should consider staying at a hotel near the airport rather than in the city. Given the choice of taking the train Milan-Paris vs a flight that requires such an early departure I think I would opt for the train. It would be a scenic ride.

There is the Malpensa Express train that runs from the Cadorna station to the airport. Cadorna is not the main Milan train station. The first train out in the morning is 6:45am and the trip takes 40 minutes. Obviously, this train will not work for you.

The first Malpensa shuttle from Milan central departs at 4:15 and arrives at MXP at 5:05. CLICK HERE to see the shuttle schedule (Partenze = Departures). There is the taxi but I don't know the fare. That early, its a 45-50 minute ride.
