Milan - Linate airport - Alitalia's Manzoni lounge

 Close to the city centre and easy to get to, Linate airport is the most pleasant point of entry and exit for travellers to Milan.
And it is here, overlooking boarding gates A 18-21, that Alitalia business travellers - and SkyTeam passengers in general - are invited to enter the orange-white-green world of the Manzoni Lounge.
 
With its leather armchairs, soft ambience and bright colours, the Manzoni is a success in aesthetic terms, with a few functional touches that make all the difference: direct access sockets for each armchair, desks for computers, WiFi... It's true that we've seen better-stocked dining areas, but the Manzoni Lounge makes up for this relative frugality with its extensive choice of newspapers, particularly in French, and its friendly bar service.
 
Alitalia also offers another lounge at Linate airport: the Welcome Lounge, which is just as cosy, but smaller in size.
