Montale Exclusive Lounge
★2.7(585 reviews)MXP · Terminal 1
Malpensa's non-Schengen all-rounder — Priority Pass, DragonPass, three alliances or pay-in.
The Montale Exclusive Lounge is the SEA-run Montale lounge in Milan Malpensa's Terminal 1, sitting airside in the non-Schengen area in satellite B, near gates B50-B59. It's the most flexible way into a lounge on the non-Schengen side of Malpensa: Priority Pass and DragonPass members are welcome, SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld passengers can use it on the right ticket, and it also admits pay-in guests. Inside you'll find the familiar SEA Classic-lounge template — a buffet of hot and cold food, a bar with wines, beers and spirits, complimentary Wi-Fi and a mix of relaxed and work-friendly seating for unwinding before a flight. Because it gathers so many access routes in one place on the non-Schengen pier, it's a strong default for long-haul and other extra-Schengen departures from Terminal 1.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable pre-flight spot with Wi-Fi, power at many seats and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though not a dedicated business lounge.
A buffet of hot and cold food in the SEA Classic style — hot dishes, salads, sandwiches and snacks alongside a bar serving wines, beers and spirits, plus coffee, tea and soft drinks. The selection refreshes through the day to suit non-Schengen departures.
