Business Class flights to Milan

Travel in luxury to the most financially prominent city in Italy and the world’s fashion epicentre, Milan. Home to many major media and advertising companies, Milan sees many business travellers arrive at its airport every year. You can be sure to arrive in style with Qatar Airways Business Class, named as Skytrax’s World’s Best Business Class in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

While some business travellers like to use their time in the airport and on board to keep up with work, others opt for some well-earned downtime. Thanks to Qatar Airways’ sublime Business Class offerings, you can choose to spend your journey time doing either, or both.

Head for one of our exclusive lounges in Doha to escape the crowds in the main departure lounge. Here you can enjoy some refreshments with fine food and drink while you take advantage of the complimentary Wi-Fi to catch up on your emails or stay connected with friends and colleagues. Many of our lounges offer access to amenities such as showers and private rooms if you like to freshen up or enjoy some peace and quiet before you board.

Once you’re on board, you’ll meet our friendly, professional cabin crew who will show you to your state-of-the-art Business Class seat. Enjoy the latest movies on your own in-flight entertainment screen or use the generous workspace to put the finishing touches to your report. Alternatively, you can simply recline and sleep on overnight flights, thanks to the sublimely soft sleepwear, duvet and pillows we supply to all of our Business Class customers. An exclusive on-demand menu is available at your convenience, offering you sumptuous cuisine and exquisite flavours.

Whether you’re in Milan on business for a couple of days or a few weeks, there are ways to make doing business even easier.

• Rather than running up expensive roaming charges, purchase a local SIM card for your mobile phone. These can be found in many shops around the city and in the airport.
• Free internet is on offer in most cafés, so you can enjoy some of Italy’s famous coffee while working on the move.
• There are many luxury hotels in the city, giving you access to excellent facilities such as spas, gyms, swimming pools and exquisite accommodation. This includes independent hotels and world-renowned chains.
  
• Public transport is by far the most efficient way to get around Milan, using the city’s network of the Metro, trams and buses. Single tickets are reasonably priced and can be used interchangeably on the three modes of public transport within a 90-minute period.
  

Milan is Italy’s most important financial hub, housing the country’s main stock exchange as well as 8% of all businesses in Italy as a whole. Generating around 9% of the country’s GDP, Milan’s businesses run throughout the city and include fashion, media, advertising, automotive, banking and biotechnology.

While the Porta Nuova, or ‘New Gate’, is the main business district in Milan, many new areas are currently in planning and construction, which will see Milan grow further as a business centre in the coming decades.

To relax and unwind after work in Milan, why not take in an evening of culture with a night at the opera in perhaps the most famous opera house in the world, La Scala. If you have time earlier in the day, this opera house is so renowned it even has a museum devoted to it which is worth visiting: Museo Teatrale alla Scala.

As well as being the home of opera, Milan is also the home of football and San Siro stadium houses both AC Milan and Internazionale - two of the most famous teams in the world. There are a range of VIP boxes and lounges available at the stadium so that you can treat yourself to some world-class sport during your stay.

Milan has a plethora exquisite restaurants for anyone wishing to try classic Italian cuisine or menus from around the world. Many can be found in the areas around La Scala and Duomo, although there are also hidden gems dotted all over the city, if you have time to explore.

As Milan is the capital of fashion, it’s no surprise that you can find the best designers in the world here. Lovers of high-end fashion should head for Via Monte Napoleone, the most important street in Quadrilatero della moda, Milan’s fashion centre.
