A summer trip was required, none of us had been to Milan before and a cheap rate with Flybe from Manchester settled the destination. Embraer E190 G-FBEF was our transport both there and back, again none of us had flown the type before, landing ahead of schedule we were soon of to collect the car in the 25deg heat and sunshine. If you wanted to collect numbers only then spotting from McDonalds (not airside) would be fine, you would get anything that moved, photography is no good from inside the terminal. The twin runways 35L & R were in use for the duration of our stay, like most airports they alternate the use, it is a bit frustrating at times as depending on the time of day and runway in use some shots would be directly into sun, however as you can see from the photo's some good results can be obtained. We stayed until 2pm and headed over to Linate, just under an hour's drive away. spotting from the outside is fine and everything outside can be read off, photography of the biz area isn't possible due to fences and there are some points along the runway for landing shots.
