For Bergamo, take ATB Line 1 (and related urban services) from the stops outside arrivals — SACBO quotes about 10 minutes to Bergamo FS; allow 15–20 minutes in traffic. Airport–city rides need Tariffa C (tre zone) at €3.00 with 90 minutes’ validity on the ATB network (fares published from 1 Sep 2023; confirm on atb.bergamo.it if your travel date is later). Buy at machines, retailers or the ATB app — boarding without a validated ticket risks a fine. For Milan, coaches leave from the bays facing arrivals: Autostradale lists Centrale transfers from €9 one-way on promo (children 2–12 €5), with typical daytime frequency about every 30 minutes and ~50–60 minutes’ runtime; Terravision, Orioshuttle and Flibco also serve Centrale / other Milan stops — compare live prices. Trains Bergamo–Milano Centrale are frequent (~50–60 min) after the ATB hop if you prefer rail. Taxi / NCC to Milan is much more expensive than the coach; for Bergamo centre expect a short metered ride rather than a flat Milan-style fare. summary: >- ATB €3 / ~10–15′ to Bergamo FS; Autostradale etc. from ~€9 / ~50–60′ to Milano Centrale. category: timing - label: Security title: CT 2 L liquids since Nov 2025 — Fast Track €9 online detail: >- Since the 25 November 2025 departures hall opened, SACBO operates 14 security lanes with next-generation CT screening: keep LAG containers up to 2 litres each and electronics in the bag on originating flights. Always pack empty bottles for refill and remember return airports may still enforce 100 ml. Fast Track is a dedicated optical-reader lane active 24 hours — €9.00 online or €11.00 at airport ticket offices / vending machines; 10-ticket carnet €80 online; under-2 free; vouchers valid 12 months. Family Lane is free for families with children up to age 2 in strollers or arms (two accompanying adults) and for pregnant passengers — it shares the priority lane bank with PRM and Fast Track. Access to the security mezzanine is via boarding-pass readers; the old lounge-to-security shortcut door closed with the rebuild — lounge guests use a Fast Track voucher / dedicated lane instead. summary: >- CT 2 L LAG rules for BGY departures; Fast Track €9 online / €11 airport; Family Lane under-2 + pregnancy. category: terminal - label: Lounge title: Landside Check-in Lounge + airside HelloSky — both on Priority Pass detail: >- Check-in / VIP Lounge sits landside in departures beside security (PP: opposite the ticket desk / next to the new shopping area).
