Destino a ...

When talking about travelling in a sentence like "We took the train with destination to Milan -for example", I translated as follows

"Coger el tren con destino a Milan"

I've a doubt: is the word destino right for this context and what about the preposition "a"?

we took - cogimos. Coger is "to take" - Eddy, Sep 8, 2009

Why not just say "destinado a Milan"?

According to this definition, you said it correctly, however.

con destino a

Ricardo said:

"Cogimos el tren con destino a Milan", sería la forma correcta de traducir la frase inicial, planteada por Lyzs. Sin embargo, tú sabes muy bien que la utilización del verbo "coger" en algunos paises como Méjico y Argentina es absolutamente "prohibido".

I've also heard that "coger" is to be avoided if at all possible.

How about "tomamos el tren?"

Well, in Mexico that's what they usually use instead of "coger". - samdie, Sep 8, 2009

I think so - here are some examples from the dictionary on Spanishdict.com:

el tren con destino a La Paz -> the train for La Paz, the La Paz train

un vuelo con destino a… -> a flight to…

pasajeros con destino a Chicago, embarquen por puerta 6 -> passengers flying to Chicago, please board at gate 6

Only the verb "coger" should be conjugated ----> cogimos
