Trenitalia's Frecciabianca trains offer First and Second-Class fares, while Economy and Super-Economy are available on Regional services. Neither class of train operates luggage limits, although travellers are generally recommended to stick to two large bags per ticket and a single item of hand luggage. Some Regionale services allow assembled bikes for a small surcharge. However, most trains only allow folded bikes on board. Pets can be carried in small carriers, while larger pets must be leashed and will incur an extra fee. Disabled travellers can also request assistance via the Sale Blu service (at Milano Centrale), and all trains feature space for wheelchairs.

How to find cheap train tickets from Milan to Como?

Choosing Regionale services over Frecciabianca trains can help to cut costs, as slower trains are often less-expensive. Otherwise, booking in advance is advisable, and can deliver savings. However, there are no benefits to travelling at different times of day, as ticket prices vary very little by time of departure. Economy tickets are also significantly cheaper than Super-Economy or First-Class but must be purchased over two days before trains depart.
