Milan Bergamo Airport Map (Most up-To-Date)
Milan Bergamo Airport is a single-terminal, two-level “processing engine” with Ground Floor landside functions (Arrivals, baggage reclaim, buses, taxis, check-in hall) and First Floor airside processing (Security, retail hub, gates). Within Lombardy’s secondary Milan-area airport hub, flows pinch at a few narrow thresholds—Security entry, the walk-through duty-free exit, and the non-Schengen passport-control gate to Zone B—so your best map is really a choke-point map.
Map Table
| Terminal | Key Airlines | Primary Function | Transfer Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single terminal, 2 levels | Ryanair, Wizz Air, LCC mix | High-throughput LCC departures, Schengen + non-Schengen split | Landside recheck; escalators/elevators; limited hand-luggage-only transit |
Milan Bergamo Airport Map Strategy
- Treat Zone B as a second checkpoint: if your flight is non-Schengen, go from Security through the duty-free exit and straight to the “Controllo Passaporti / B Gates” threshold before stopping anywhere.
- Run self-transfers as two separate trips: Arrivals → Door 1 landside → walk the Ground Floor concourse into the check-in hall → up to “Partenze” → Security again; plan for baggage, immigration, and a full re-screen.
- Anchor ground transport by Door 1: official taxi rank at the Arrivals curb outside Door 1; Milan coaches at the curbside bus bays parallel to Arrivals, with queues forming at the numbered bay pillars (not “where the crowd is”).
- Solve late/final-call risk by camping at the main First Floor node: exit the walk-through duty-free and stay near the primary FIDS cluster in the retail piazza until your gate appears, then move immediately.

Current operations at 2026 reflect the late-2025/2026 buildout: a larger First Floor security block (14 lanes with C3 scanners), an expanded Ground Floor check-in hall (more kiosks), and a slightly enlarged non-Schengen departures area. The terminal still behaves “small” at peak banks, with silent/late gate signaling and border-control queues creating time risk even after you clear Security.

Where is outbound passport control located after Security for non-Schengen departures (exact corridor/threshold relative to the gates)?
Outbound passport control is a separate checkpoint at the entrance to the non-Schengen gate area (Zone B) on the First Floor, reached after Security and the walk-through duty-free exit. It sits at the eastern end of the main Schengen lounge, acting as the physical threshold between the A gates (Schengen) and the B gates (non-Schengen), so you must clear it before you can enter the B-gate pier.
From the Security exit, follow the forced route through duty-free and stop at the first major decision node where “Controllo Passaporti” / “B Gates” signage appears near the food-court side of the main retail zone. The queue often spills backward into the Schengen retail corridor during non-Schengen flight banks, so the practical “start” of passport control can begin in the lounge well before the actual booth/e-gate line.
What is the exact walking distance from the Security exit to the farthest departure gates (end-to-end worst case)?
The end-to-end walk from the Security exit to the farthest departure gate is about 350–450 meters, with Gate A15 as the typical worst-case endpoint by distance. Crowds and the forced walk-through duty-free path can stretch the “feel” of this distance, and some high-number A gates add a stair-only descent that turns a normal walk into a time trap.
| From Security exit landmark | Farthest endpoint | Walk path anchor points | Distance | Typical walk time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duty-free exit into main retail piazza | Gate A15 area | retail piazza node → Schengen pier toward high A gates → A15 access tower | 350–450 m | 5–7 min brisk; 10–15 min in crowds |
| Duty-free exit into main retail piazza | Zone B far end (e.g., B10) | retail piazza node → passport control threshold (“Controllo Passaporti / B Gates”) → non-Schengen pier | 300–400 m | 6–10 min walking, plus passport-control queue time |
What is the exact walking route from Arrivals exit to the Departures Security entrance for a self-transfer (step-by-step via mapped landmarks)?
The self-transfer route is a landside loop from the Arrivals exit at Door 1 to the Ground Floor check-in hall, then up to the First Floor “Partenze/Departures” level to the Security entrance above the Desk 64 area. Because there is no true transfer zone, you should expect to re-enter Security and (if applicable) repeat border control steps depending on Schengen status.
From Door 1, turn right inside the public concourse and stay indoors, walking along the Ground Floor frontage past car-rental desks and coffee shops toward the main check-in hall. Continue into the check-in hall and use “Desk 64” as your anchor: head toward the escalators/elevators marked “Partenze / Departures” near the Desk 64 end of the hall. Go up to the First Floor, follow the wide corridor to the boarding-pass readers, then enter the Security queue at the Security checkpoint doors directly above the check-in area.
Where are the Milan coach/bus bays located outside the terminal (which door/zone), and where does the physical queue begin?
The Milan coach/bus bays are on the Ground Floor curbside bus station directly parallel to the Arrivals hall outside the terminal, reached from the Arrivals side by Door 1. The physical queue starts at the numbered bay pillar for your operator (not at the shelter edge), then runs perpendicular back toward the terminal façade.
Most Milan Centrale services cluster in the central bays: Terravision commonly uses Bay 4, while Orio Shuttle and Autostradale frequently use the adjacent Bays 2–5 area. After exiting Door 1, walk straight out to the curbside shelters and look for the bay number signage on the pillars; join the line at that pillar even if a crowd is forming elsewhere. If you need tickets, the “Biglietterie Bus” ticket offices are inside the Arrivals hall near the exit doors labeled 10a/10b/10c.
Which vehicle approach lane/turn-in leads directly to the Departures drop-off (to minimize the highway-to-terminal traffic jam loop)?
The right-hand lanes signed “Partenze” lead directly to the Departures drop-off via the upward ramp to the First Floor. This is the critical fork on the internal airport loop road: committing to “Arrivi” (or “Bus/Taxi”) keeps you on the Ground Floor and forces a full loop or a park-and-elevator workaround to get back up.
Approaching the terminal on the perimeter loop, watch for the overhead gantry with the binary split: “Arrivi” vs “Partenze.” Move right early and take the “Partenze” ramp to the Preferential Lane (Zona a Traffico Controllato) at the First Floor curb. This is a kiss-and-fly zone with strict dwell limits (typically around 10 minutes) and enforcement by license-plate cameras; buses and coaches cannot use this upper ramp and must unload at Ground Floor Arrivals instead.
Where are the e-gates/automated passport gates located in the non-Schengen arrivals flow (exact position and access path)?
The e-gates are inside the non-Schengen Arrivals passport-control hall on the Ground Floor, positioned immediately after you enter the immigration room from the non-Schengen arrivals corridor. They sit before baggage reclaim, separated from the manual “All Passports” booths, and are typically marked with green “e-Passport” signage.
After leaving the aircraft on a non-Schengen arrival, follow the dedicated non-Schengen corridor to the passport-control hall. As you enter the hall, look for the bank of automated gates (about six units) at the front of the room; join that queue if eligible, then continue forward to baggage reclaim (Carousels 1–7), pass Customs via the green channel, and exit landside at Door 1. When multiple non-Schengen flights land together, the e-gate line can still back up, but it usually clears faster than the manual booths.
Where is the official taxi rank positioned relative to the terminal exits (exact curb segment), so riders avoid informal pickups?
The official taxi rank is on the Ground Floor Arrivals curb directly outside Door 1, in a marked single-file lane on the asphalt. This is the only sanctioned pickup point, and it is staffed or self-regulated as a formal line of white taxis with roof signs.
Exit baggage reclaim to landside and follow the flow to Door 1; ignore anyone offering rides inside the Arrivals area near the baggage-claim exit. Once outside, look for the painted queue lane and the clustered white taxis aligned nose-to-tail at the curb segment immediately by Door 1. Do not go upstairs to the Departures level expecting taxis—there is no taxi access from the First Floor drop-off curb, so you’d have to come back down to Door 1 to join the official rank.
Where are the flight information display screens positioned before the final gate area (exact spots) so passengers don’t miss late/final-call-only announcements?
The main flight-information screens are clustered immediately after the walk-through duty-free exit at the central First Floor retail piazza, before you commit to either the Schengen A-gate pier or the non-Schengen passport-control threshold. This is the best “gate reveal” waiting position in a silent/late-call setup because it’s the primary decision node for the whole airside flow.
Secondary screens sit in the First Floor food-court seating area and near the restroom entrances off the main hall, but they’re easier to miss if you’re tucked into a corner. To avoid being caught by a late gate reveal, stand where you can see the primary FIDS bank right as you leave duty-free, then move the moment your gate appears—especially if it shows a B gate, since the passport-control queue can start spilling into the same retail corridor.
