Venice Marco Polo Airport

ACTV/ATVO ~€10 to Piazzale Roma; Alilaguna €18 by water; taxi €40 fixed.

ACTV Aerobus (routes 5 / 15 / 45 family) is €10 one-way or €18 return for a 75-minute mainland ticket that covers the airport link (official ACTV urban fare table). ATVO Venice Airport Bus Express is the competing direct coach to Piazzale Roma / Mestre with luggage holds and onboard Wi-Fi — buy at ATVO machines, desks, or online (widely sold around the same €10 one-way class; confirm on ATVO before you travel). Alilaguna water buses from the airport dock are €18 one-way / €32 return to Venice proper (€10 / €18 to Murano) and take roughly 1–1.5 hours depending on line (Blue / Orange / seasonal Red). Official land-taxi fixed fare Airport ↔ Piazzale Roma is €40 including luggage (Radiotaxi Venezia / Comune table); Airport ↔ Mestre centre €35; Airport ↔ Marittima cruise €45. A land taxi cannot enter the car-free historic islands — budget vaporetto or water taxi onward from Piazzale Roma. Ordinary ACTV day/multi-day vaporetto passes exclude the airport Aerobus unless you buy the Aerobus supplement (€7 one-way / €13 return with the pass).

Classic 100 ml rules; buy Fast Track online or at desks 45–56 when queues bite.

Venice still runs classic EU LAG rules: containers ≤100 ml inside one resealable ~1 L transparent bag unless a published CT waiver appears for VCE (none advertised for 2026 as of research). Fast Track is sold on the airport e-shop, via the Milione Club app, or at the airport; the dedicated lane sits on the first floor in front of check-in desks 45–56. Published service windows differ slightly by language page (roughly early morning until evening) — trust the live booking clock. Children under 2 are free (under 12 for Milione Club members per SAVE). Allow ~2 hours for typical Schengen leisure departures and closer to 2.5–3 hours in peak summer cruise/tour banks or when you need non-Schengen passport control after security.

Airside Marco Polo Club 05:00–22:30; landside Aspire 08:00–20:00 + Fast Track.

After security, take the lift/escalator to the 2nd floor before Extra-Schengen passport control for the Marco Polo Club / Marco Polo Lounge (SAVE). Priority Pass lists 05:00–22:30 daily; access is limited to 3 hours before scheduled departure; showers, buffet, Wi-Fi and workstations are included. Paid entry is sold on the airport site / lounge desk (third-party quotes cluster near ~€45 — confirm the live e-shop price). Landside, the Aspire Executive Lounge on the 2nd floor before security runs 08:00–20:00 on Priority Pass and includes Fast Track into security — SAVE notes that Fast Track perk is not available for travellers on direct USA flights. Children under 12 enter free on PP’s Marco Polo Club listing; SAVE’s own child rules differ slightly by product (under 2 free; under 12 for Milione Club).

Airside refill fountains reported near Gate 8 / lower gates; free open Wi-Fi.

Bring an empty bottle through screening. Travellers consistently report cold drinking-water refill points airside (commonly near Gate 8 and in the lower gate area around Gates ~42–49 / non-Schengen escalators). Locations can shift with works — follow “acqua” / water signage or ask staff. Sealed bottles are sold landside and airside in cafés and shops (typically a few euros). Free Wi-Fi SSID “Venezia Airport Free WiFi” works throughout the terminal with a splash page and no registration. Costa Coffee and the MyFamily area are among recent F&B / family updates called out on the airport site in 2026.
