Runway Lounge

Milan Linate

Designed to blend harmoniously with its surroundings, the new Runway Lounge at Linate airport is the ideal bridge between Milan – the international capital of fashion and design – and the world of aviation. Its name evokes both take-off and landing strips and high-fashion catwalks, thus epitomizing the encounter between style and travel.

The Runway Lounge is a dedicated 482-square-meter space designed to make every moment at the airport an exclusive experience: from its distinctive furnishings to its collaboration with leading “Made in Italy” partners:

  • With illycaffè, your pre-flight break is a real sensory journey: let yourself be won over by the intense aroma of coffee beans, freshly ground for you
  • Campari invites you to discover the charms of the aperitif, an Italian ritual, with iconic cocktails such as the Campari Negroni, Campari Spritz, and Americano.
  • With the Jay Lounge chaise longues by Poltrona Frau , comfort and style come together in an enveloping embrace
  • iGuzzini lighting creates a cozy, welcoming ambience, designed to allow a moment of authentic well-being before your flight.

The Runway Lounge features 125 seats and three areas, dedicated to food, relaxation and business. Among the most iconic spaces, a charming relaxation area created inside a replica of an ITA Airways cockpit pays homage to the world of aviation with a striking, theatrical touch.
Here, every detail reflects a vision of style, authenticity and refinement.
