It is approximately a 2 hour, bus or train drive from Milan. Flights would probably be via Milan. Both Zurich and Geneva are much farther away.

This Early Show thing is a major rip off of the Today show's Where in the World is Matt Lauer, but with Phil giving clues. I wish there was a way to throw Julie off that balcony.

TARAsia Fan:
You know I'll defend you to the day I die, Michael, but Julie Chen is just a horrific TV personality to me.

I'll explain my rationale one day.  :snicker: :snicker:

First of all, Michael, when was the last time you were ever in Locarno? What you hear is frequently not accurate. Not only have I been there, but there is also this public information:


--- Quote ---The easiest way is direct from Milan’s Malpensa airport, around an hour and a half’s car drive. There is also a shuttle bus from Malpensa airport, leaving about every two hours from just outside the station (exit door 4, stand 21 - see links panel) as far as Bellinzona, from which you can catch a twice-hourly - and highly scenic - rail shuttle to Locarno. Alternatively, if combining Locarno with Milan, there is a train, usually every hour, connecting Milan Central with Bellinzona, with a simple transfer there onto the Locarno shuttle. Both the rail and airport bus routes pass through Lugano.
--- End quote ---
There is another airport, Turin, which is about one hour further from Locarno than Millan - Malpense.

I know you like to jab me, but at least try and validate your information when you do!
