Please note, the Departure Venice transfers operate by water taxis. The water taxis pull into the airport pier, from here guests need to walk approximately 10 minutes into the airport terminal building using a moving walkway which is very clearly indicated from pier and on-route into Terminal building. There are also trolleys available at pier. Travel Directors will always advise guests in advance of pier and walk.
