GOA
Still classic 100 ml liquids — CT waiver not published yetGenova Lounge / check-in rebuild through 2026 — confirm lounge openingNo Priority Pass lounge — do not plan on PP hereWind delays on the exposed peninsula; do not confuse with MXP/LIN/BGY
LIN
Not Malpensa — no long-haul hub product; cross-town connections need M4 + rail/coach bufferClassic 100 ml liquids rules (SEA still publishes standard LAG guidance)Single primary runway 17/35 plus capped slots — fog and storms can slide the whole bankPiranesi Lounge closes 18:00; late banks need Leonardo or ITA Runway (status), not landside PP
GOA · Liguria’s sea-fill city airport: one terminal, a €10 Volabus, Airlink to Sestri Ponente FS, March 2025 CT lanes that still want 100 ml liquids, and a Genova Lounge mid-rebuild without Priority Pass.
LIN · Milan’s close-in city airport: 11.08M SEA passengers in 2025, M4 metro to San Babila in ~12 minutes, ITA + easyJet short-haul grids, and Leonardo/Piranesi Priority Pass lounges — offset by classic 100 ml security and a single main runway that still bows to Po Valley fog.
