From 22 to 28 September 2026, Milan hosts Milan Fashion Week Women's, with the shows and presentations for the Spring/Summer 2027 collection organised by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. For retail and wholesale fashion professionals flying out of Catania for a few days of meetings and shows, the part that is easy to overlook is what happens to the car while you are away: here is how to plan timings and parking near Catania Airport for a work trip like this.
When is Milan Fashion Week 2026
The September 2026 edition runs from 22 to 28 September, according to the official calendar published by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI). It is a recurring event held twice a year, in September and February: anyone planning a work trip from Catania for this kind of event should book the flight and the parking as soon as the calendar is confirmed, since flights to Milan get busier than usual during the event days.
How long does the trip usually last, and what that means for parking
A work trip tied to Fashion Week typically runs from a few days to a full week, depending on the schedule of appointments. The rates published today (20 September 2026) on the Fast Parking price list are €6.00 for the first 24 hours, €12.00 for 24-48 hours and €42.00 for 7 days: for a trip of this length it is worth entering your real dates in the booking system, since the final price depends on the period and availability. Frequent business travellers can also ask about the Fast Parking Card when booking. If you are away longer, it is also worth reading what changes when you leave the car parked for an extended period.
Planning the airport departure around fixed show times
If you have an early-morning show or showroom appointment in Milan, you are often flying out of Catania on an early flight, which means arriving at the airport well ahead of time. Dropping off the car and reaching the departures area on Fast Parking's free round-the-clock shuttle, also available on call for the return leg, means one less thing to manage on days when time is already tight between luggage, sample collections and show accreditation.
- Check your flight time and book parking with your exact dates, not a rough estimate.
- If you are travelling with sample bags or bulky material, allow a few extra minutes for loading before the shuttle.
- Note the shuttle or parking contact for your return, especially if the flight back lands late in the evening.
- If you are away for several days, consider a covered space when booking, particularly if rain is expected that week.
Covered or uncovered parking for a stay of a few days
For a short stay, the choice between a covered and an uncovered space is mostly about comfort and the weather forecast for the week. For more detail on what changes over a longer stay, the relevant section of the article on extended parking covers the same topic in more depth.
