Cheap flights from Newcastle to Milan

The expensive stretch comes in December and again in the summer, around school holidays and the Italian summer. Work back from those peaks through spring and autumn, and November stands out as the cheapest month in the dated fares. Midweek and weekend prices can differ, so compare a few dates rather than one, and book further ahead for Christmas and the high summer. The calendar covers October to August, so check which months are listed before you plan.

What is included varies by fare rather than by name alone, so read the fare rules before you pay. Some tickets on this route are stripped back, with bags, seats and meals charged as extras, while others include more in the base price. Direct flights are available, so check whether your chosen fare is nonstop or involves a connection. The carriers named for the route are Ryanair, Malta Air, Easyjet, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Sun Express, Aer Lingus, Eurowings, HOP! and Norwegian International; the one printed on your ticket is the one whose conditions apply.

Milan's three airports differ in scale, and that changes how you leave the terminal and how long you wait. Malpensa is the largest, Linate is the city airport and the closest to central Milan, while Bergamo/Orio al Serio sits further out and can mean a longer transfer. Trains, airport buses and taxis all serve the airports, but the journey time and frequency vary, so check the transfer before you book. Watch for the airport code on your ticket, because a cheap fare into one airport can be followed by a long ride into town.

• Check whether your itinerary is direct or connected, and whether separate tickets are involved.
• Check the entry documents Italy requires from travellers leaving the United Kingdom.
