We are a group of four. On the last day of our trip on the express train to Malpensa Airport Milan, we were caught by a conductor on train for non-validation of our train ticket. Each fine is 17 euros.
This is our bad experience in the whole trip. We would like to share.
1. We hold a two countries pass -Switzerland and Italy. We planned to use this pass for train running to Milan airport.
2. Unfortunately, ticket officer told us we cannot use Eurail Pass on this train. Therefore, we pay for tickets on top of Eurail Pass.
3. Worse come to worse, we had forgotten to validate the tickets at Terminal before we abroad. Finally we pay another fine of 17 euros for each one.
Tips for you.
Please remember to validate train ticket at terminal in italy.
Please avoid use Eurail pass to travel in Italy. They do not accept Eurail pass on EXpress train to airport.
Moreover, reservation is required on express train, which costs you 10 euros. Single trip ticket costs you 13 euros.
For long haul trip, advance purchase can save a lot of money.
