After checking in, travelers move through security and reach the departure gates. Depending on the route, Turkish Airlines MXP Terminal uses gates in both the non-Schengen and Schengen sections of Terminal 1. A seamless boarding process is ensured by obvious signage and airport personnel who are available to direct travelers to the correct gates. The Sala Montale Lounge is located in Terminal 1 and is accessible to Turkish Airlines Business Class customers, Miles & Smiles Elite and Elite Plus members, and Star Alliance Gold members.
