The following is a message for all Wikimania attendees whose travel was arranged and paid for by the WMF (Staff, Board members, Full Scholarship recipients):
We are presently checking to make sure everyone is registered. After that I will be sending information to everyone about arranging transportation between the airports and Esino Lario (as well as other options for people who can't use the direct shuttle.) You do not have to register on the Wikimania '16 conference wiki for the shuttle.
Thanks,
Ellie Young WMF Events Manager

dear all we plan to have direct busses (if there are reservations) to Esino Lario on Tuesday 21st and Thursday 23rd
- from Milano Malpensa at 11am, 3 pm and 9pm
- from Linate at 3pm
- from Orio al serio at 7pm
The direct return busses will be on Monday:
- To Milano Malpensa at 5am (estimated arrival at 7.30am), 9am
(estimated arrival at 11.30am) and 2pm (estimated arrival at 4.30pm)
- To Milan at 9am (arrival at 11).
On Sunday there is too much traffic and it is much better to use the train from Varenna to Milano Centrale and then trans/public busses to the airports.
please contact me also off list if you have any suggestion we will try to accomodate. We can not have busses every 2 hours otherwise the cost for a one way ticket is around 150 euro. We will probably add more busses when Wikimedia Foundation will have figure out the tickets for the scholarship recipients and staff members. Please also consider blablacar (car sharing system) if you travel from Italy or if you rent a car.
