Watch out for
PUY
July–August Saturday charter banks: budget 2 hours, expect bag-belt scrums and rental-desk meltdownUK/non-Schengen passport queues — and mixing them with Schengen flows in the same small buildingBora wind delays that airline apps underplay; Rovinj is 40–50 minutes, not close
VCE
100 ml / 1 litre liquid limits still apply, even though the new scanners let liquids stay in the bagLand taxis only reach Piazzale Roma (€40 fixed) — not island hotelsTreviso (TSF) is a different “Venice” airport used by many low-cost ticketsAirport rail link works are stalled; trains not expected before 2027
PUY · A tiny seasonal Istrian gateway that is a 10-minute curb-to-gate stroll off-peak but a crowded charter shed on July–August Saturdays, with no lounge, no real restaurant, and bora-wind delays.
VCE · Venice’s mainland gateway: 11.85M passengers in 2025 and a record summer 2026, one SAVE terminal with ACTV (€10) and ATVO (€12) buses, Alilaguna boats (€18) and a €40 fixed taxi to Piazzale Roma, plus Priority Pass lounges airside and landside. New scanners let liquids stay in the bag, but peak summer queues are real.
