We apparently landed at an optimum time (we were, after all 30 minutes EARLY!!!) and only our passengers were in line at Immigration (is that what it's called, when they check your passport coming in?) And since I walk so quickly, and with purpose, I was actually second in line for my passport-checker.
Whew! He didn't ask me the questions ... why are you here? Do you plan to work while you're here... blah blah blah... not sure what a poker face looks like in Italian....
And again, our flight was the only flight being handled in baggage area, and my current favorite Delta check in agent successfully checked my bags all the way through!! So there they were, riding around the carosel!!
I love Milano's MXP airport. Clean, new, art installations... And it's a 30 minute, 13 Euro ride on a sparkling clean train to two transportation hubs in Milano. (Compared with 80-Euro-PLUS for a cab ride... trust me... take the Express.)
