Should I purchase train tickets between Milan Malpensa Airport and Florence on the day or book them in advance?
I'll be landing in Milan Malpensa Airport on May 17th 12:15 pm. I need to get to Florence after that and I am planning to do that by train. When I look on trenitalia.com, I can see the train schedules, but it doesn't allow me to book anything. Does one need to be logged in to purchase tickets ? It seems that I can buy tickets on italiarail.com, but looks like all the super-cheap fares are gone by now, and I can only buy a 'Normal' fare, which is about 70$ per person one-way.
So, would it be okay if I waited and bought train tickets only after arriving at Malpensa airport, or is that likely to have problems ? I would prefer to wait and book in case our flight gets delayed, but I want to know if that is a bad idea for some reason like trains are likely to be full, or that I would likely have to buy a very expensive ticket, or something else.
