Two branches, two very different journeys: 39 minutes to Milano Cadorna, 56 to Milano Centrale. Check which one your train is before you board, because the slower branch takes almost half an hour longer for the same fare.
The airport says departures run 05:09 to 22:09; Trenord's own board shows trains from Malpensa T1 to Cadorna at 01:05 and 02:15. If flying late, check Trenord's board rather than the airport's hours.
It costs about four times the coach's advertised fare to reach the same station. You are buying immunity from traffic on the A8, which is worth a lot before a flight and very little after one.
You can pay at the gate with a bank card rather than buying a ticket first.
