Milan fares peak during the European summer (June–August), around major fashion-week and trade-fair dates, and over Christmas–New Year. For better value, target the shoulder months – April to May and September to October – when weather is pleasant and demand softens (though September fashion week can bump prices on specific dates). Booking roughly 8–14 weeks ahead tends to secure the lowest one-stop fares, and midweek departures generally undercut weekend flights. Because Milan hosts frequent business events, checking dates against the city’s exhibition calendar can help you avoid spikes.
