MXP vs BGY?

I have a choice of MXP or BGY for a 4 hour transfer

MXP is 40 euro more expensive, but if it is more comfortable than the shed at BGY, I dont mind paying for somewhere to find something to eat

for a 40 euro difference would you pick mxp or bgy?

Which terminal at MXP? There's a big difference between Terminal 1 (fairly posh in parts) and Terminal 2.

BGY: Use the €40 to take a taxi (and back) to the stunningly beautiful Bergamo 'Citt Alta' (the old historical centre perched on top of the hill). Ask the driver to take you to Piazza Vecchia. The journey will take between 15 and 25 minutes each way depending on the time of day. Have a wander around. Have a meal in one of the many excellent restaurants – and then head back to the breathtakingly awful BGY.

Thanks, sounds like a plan.
