Situated on its own island close to the Malay Peninsula, the city state of Singapore is often considered one of the region’s most accessible destinations. It’s a densely packed nation of more than five million people, made up of Chinese, Malay, Eurasian, and Indian residents. Singapore also has a healthy dose of expatriates from around the world.

Although it is distinctly Asian, Singapore’s origins as a British colony are still plain to see. English is an official language alongside Malay, Chinese and Tamil, but this extraordinary locale is much more than a colonial outpost.

Book a flight to Singapore with Qatar Airways and discover a rich, varied and exotic destination that’s full of surprises.

Milan’s Malpensa airport is the largest of two serving the northern Italian city. Approximately 25 miles northwest of the city, it is currently undergoing expansion and is set to grow considerably over the next few years.

This modernisation makes Malpensa airport an excellent and efficient departure point for passengers flying from Milan with Qatar Airways. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional, and the airport itself offers passengers every amenity and facility to make their journey more pleasant.

Transportation and parking

The airport is well served by public transport. Malpensa Express trains run direct services to and from Terminal 1 to Milan Cadorna Station, taking approximately 30-40 minutes.

TrenItalia and Trenord services connect to other destinations across the immediate area. Buses operate from Milan Central station to both terminals, while the Malpensa Shuttle Air Pullman coach service also departs from Milan Central, taking approximately 50 minutes.

Taxis are available – ask your hotel concierge to book for you so that you pay a fixed fare (usually around 90 Euros). Parking for both short and long-term stays are available with parking areas close to both terminals. Valet parking is available and a shuttle bus service links the more remote parks with the terminals (particularly Terminal 1).

Arriving in Milan

Passengers flying from Milan with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 1C. The airport is very large, so allow plenty of time before your flight is due to board to clear check in and security, which is particularly tight in all European airports.

Carriers recommend that you allow at least two hours prior to your flight’s departure.

Facilities and amenities

Facilities at the airport are excellent quality and very modern. Lounges for all passengers are available, and VIP and premium lounges are set aside for first class and business class travellers.

The airport offers a range of conference and VIP services to business travellers, while paid-for Wi-Fi is available for a charge. Plenty of retail outlets provide travellers with luxury goods, accessories and Duty Free, including exclusive brands and specialist fashion outlets.

Food and drink vendors range from coffee and pastries through to more substantial meals, pizza and international cuisine.

Fly to Singapore with Qatar Airways and you’ll arrive in a unique destination that has its own personality.

Singapore is looking to the future too, and is becoming a major location for high-tech industries and innovation. Yet, the city welcomes leisure tourists with open arms, and a flight to Singapore with Qatar Airways is a great way to begin your Far East odyssey.

Tourist attractions

Singapore’s beaches are a little slice of paradise, especially those on the tranquil Sentosa Island.

Perhaps the city’s most famous building is the Raffles Hotel (which has appeared in plenty of films), while the National Museum of Singapore offers a more in-depth exploration of the history and culture of the region.

Singapore’s wildlife is unique and a big draw for explorers and visitors. To get a real feel for the flora and fauna of the region visit the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. The Jurong Bird Park and Singapore Zoo should also be on your list if you’re an animal lover.
