Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY) is actually in Bergamo, about 45 km northeast of Milan, not in Milan itself.

Ticket

Direct coach single ticket to Milano Centrale (Autostradale / Terravision / Flixbus / Flibco / Orio Shuttle)

Where to buy: At the coach-company desks and machines just outside arrivals, on the operator's website or app in advance (cheaper, about €7), or from the driver (about €10).

How to pay: Card or cash; an advance online ticket gives a QR code to scan as you board.

Local's trick: Book the coach on the operator's app before you land to pay about €7 instead of the roughly €10 driver fare. For the absolute cheapest and a detour worth making, see the ATB bus + train option below — it costs about the same but lets you stop in Bergamo's Città Alta.

Trap to avoid: Skip the taxi — it's about €45–50 to Milan because Bergamo is 45 km out — and ignore private "transfer" touts. Don't pay the ~€10 driver walk-up when the app fare is about €7.
