Hi Ladybird,
We did a couple of pick ups at Linate (otherwise called Bergamo) last summer. We found the area around lake Isio very handy for the airport. It was only about 20 mins. drive. There's a Camping Cheque site, Campaggio del Sole, right on the lake, which we found very nice . If you prefer wild camping, try Sarnico. also on the lake with grey and black waste and water fill. It has a little shopping centre across the road for your fresh provisions and also a loo and laundrette. Beside road, but very little traffic at night.

PS: there were swans on the lake, hope Bird Flu stays away!!
Decided to check my tickets last night to see if I had got the right airport but I hadn't, I had presumed I had booked from Milan (linate), the flights are booked with aer lingus from Milan (orio) is this not the one from Bergamo, if it is then the sites above would be perfect if not back to the drawing board, oh I am confused. Am I right in saying there are three airports around Milan, now all I need to know is where they are located.
Hi Ladybird,
Just checked and Orio is indeed Bergamo. I almost had a heart attack last year thinking Bergamo was a different airport. I wish they'd just call it Bergamo and leave it at that. If you are booked from Orio, then the places I mentioned are very close by.
We'll be doing it all again in June, picking my sister up from Airport for the Verona Opera. I can't wait!!

is it a very big airport, and is there parking for the motorhome near by whilst dropping off, my parents are dropping my daughters to the airport but because of their age 12 and 14 will have to go into the airport with them and make sure they board ok. whilst we wait here anxiously, haven't done this before so i am worried that everything will be ok.
Ladybird,
We did it three times last summer. The trick is (as we discovered) when you enter into the airport, don't follow the signs left for parking, that is tricky for a campervan. Instead go right towards the commercial area, where there are lots of lorries and hangars, we found places to stop there each time no bother. Mike did stay in the camper while I went into the terminal, in case he needed to move. There's also a very good shopping centre (huge) near the airport, I just can't recall what it was called, but well signed.
You should have no probs.
Mary
Thanks for that, perhaps the shopping centre may be our best bet, it is very hard to organise someone else when you don't know the layout yourself, parents will have to go into airport to check in girls and sign waiver forms so they will need to leave the van parked, you said there are campsites nearby to you have any names
