easyJet Adds Milan Lounge Access for Inclusive Plus

Business travellers willing to pay for easyJet's Inclusive Plus fare finally get a perk that makes the extra cash sting a bit less: airport lounge access in Milan. Under the new rollout, passengers flying on the airline's top-tier fare can now walk straight into SEA airport lounges at both Malpensa and Linate. It's a sharp pivot for a carrier that built its entire empire on keeping things strictly no-frills, though they're clearly betting there's a market for corporate flyers who want a coffee and a quiet desk before takeoff without defecting to legacy carriers.

A Real Lounge Pass for easyJet’s Top Fare

Business trips through Milan just got a little less punishing. Starting this month, easyJet is handing its top-tier flyers a perk usually reserved for legacy airlines: lounge access. Book an Inclusive Plus fare—the airline's W booking class—and you won't have to hover around a crowded gate waiting for your group to be called. You can walk straight into the lounges operated by the SEA Milan Airports network instead.

It’s a deliberate move aimed right at corporate expense accounts across Europe. Budget airlines used to strip away every possible comfort to keep base fares low, but easyJet knows business travelers won't jump ship from mainline carriers unless there's somewhere quiet to sit before departure.

Where to Go at Linate and Malpensa

The policy applies to both of Milan's main airports. Fly out of Linate, and your ticket gets you into the Leonardo Exclusive Lounge. Pass through Malpensa, and you get entry to the Alda Merini Classic Lounge.

Inside, you'll find reliable Wi-Fi, quiet workspaces, espresso, and food before boarding. If you're trying to clear an inbox or finish a deck during a single-day trip to Lombardy, having an actual desk beats fighting for an outlet in the main concourse every single time.

Why Budget Airlines Keep Chasing Business Travelers

The timing isn't accidental. Corporate travel rebounds sharply every autumn across Europe, and travel managers want simple options. Bundling lounge entry straight into the Inclusive Plus ticket means baggage, seat selection, and pre-flight space stay on one receipt—no manual day passes, no separate expense claims for employees to file.

Lines between budget and legacy carriers keep getting thinner as low-cost airlines polish their top-end tickets. Whether you're flying in for a quick design meeting in Milan or heading out on a short European hop, easyJet's W class fare suddenly delivers a lot more value.
