Milan Malpensa is northern Italy's main international airport, a major hub for long-haul and European travel, and it is well set up for lounges, with several in the Priority Pass network in Terminal 1. For a long-haul departure or a connection through Milan, a lounge is a comfortable way to wait. ## The lounges at Malpensa Malpensa's Priority Pass lounges are in Terminal 1. The Sala Montale, also called the Montale Exclusive Lounge, is airside in the non-Schengen part of the terminal, near the entrance to gates B50 to 59, and is generally open from early morning to late evening, roughly 6am to 10pm, with a maximum stay of two hours. It offers snacks, hot and cold drinks, high-speed Wi-Fi, digital newspapers, TV, showers, and luggage storage. The Monteverdi Classic Lounge is another Terminal 1 option in the Priority Pass network. ## Access methods and day passes Access at Malpensa is flexible. The lounges accept Priority Pass, LoungeKey, DragonPass, and Diners Club memberships, subject to capacity, and you can also book online or pay at the door, recently around thirty-five to forty euros for a two-hour visit. Confirm which lounge and terminal your flight and membership match, since the Priority Pass lounges are in Terminal 1, and check the two-hour stay limit against your timing before you go in. ## Amenities and tips The Sala Montale in particular is a well-equipped lounge, with showers and luggage storage that are genuinely useful on a long connection, plus food, drinks, and Wi-Fi. Because the maximum stay is strictly two hours and the lounge sits in the non-Schengen area, time your visit around your gate and boarding, especially if you are flying within the Schengen area from a different part of the terminal. If a lounge is full, Malpensa has a wide range of airside dining as a fallback. Use the comparison below to match a membership, a card, or a day pass to your trip.
