One of the things I really liked about Milan Linate airport was the free motorbike parking next to the checkin area. I have saved a lot of time, and money, over the years by going by motorbike.
That changed last year when they "upgraded" the free area with subpar asphalt which made motorbikes fall over:
It's weird, but it's cheaper to fly London and back than to go to the airport and back by taxi or park your motorbike for a business trip...
