Cheap flights to Venice

Venice is, perhaps, the archetypal fairy tale city.

This city of marble palaces built on a lagoon has beguiled visitors for centuries. Along the banks of the Grand Canal the finest Venetian architecture parades and preens, but it’s the Palazzo Ducale and Basilica di San Marco that dominate the popular imagination.

Yet, take a little more time here exploring the narrow backstreets and you’ll discover a treasure trove of neighbourhood churches built from priceless marbles, beautiful frescoes and basilicas displaying masterpieces of art.

And all of these cultural riches can be reached with the cheapest of flights.

Let’s show you how.

When to book cheap flights to Venice

We all want to be in Venice for the Carnival – but you’ll need to book your flight early and pay a high price for the fare if you want to join the fray. August’s Venice International Film Festival will also inflate prices.

As a general rule of thumb flight prices rise between April and October. This means that the cheapest flights, with the best weather, can be found in early spring.

The cheapest month for flights is November, but booking here does run the risk of rain marring many of the city’s fine views.

How to find the best flight deals to Venice from the UK

Whenever you are looking to visit Venice it’s usually possible to secure a lower air fare with just a few tricks up your sleeve.

Here’s how to find those cheap flights to Venice.

  1. Be flexible about your dates. If you are not restricted to flying on a certain day you can choose to ‘Show Flexible Dates’. This feature can be found right above where your flight options are returned. Use it to see a range of dates and the lowest priced flight for each.
  2. Be flexible about where you fly in to. Venice has two airports - Venice Marco Polo and Treviso – so you may want to compare flight prices to either. If you are hiring a car your options widen even further with airports at Trieste (60 miles), Verona (70 miles) and Bologna (80 miles) in reasonable driving distance.

Main airports in Venice

Two airports serve Venice. Venice Marco Polo is the main airport, located around four miles north of the city, perched on the edge of the lagoon. Venice’s second airport is Treviso. It’s situated 26 miles from the action and is favoured by the budget airlines.

For those landing at Marco Polo you can choose between arriving by road, rail or water. Buses or taxis can either take you all the way or drop you at Venezia Mestre railway station for a train journey you’ll never forget. Your train to Venezia Santa Lucia takes you on a narrow causeway over the lagoon, with breathtaking views surrounding you.

If you want to arrive in Venice like a movie star you can splash out on a water taxi from the airport. If the €100 price tag for the glamour is too much there’s always the public water ferry departing from the airport every 15 minutes.

From Treviso your choices are rather more humdrum. There’s the waiting taxis to take you the 26 miles or there’s a bus and train ride to Venezia Santa Lucia. You’ll need bus ACTT Line 6 to Treviso train station and from here a train to Santa Lucia.

How to get to and around in Venice

In the city built on water it is actually best to explore on foot. Pack some comfy footwear, though, for all those cobbled streets.

Of course, you’ll need to take to the water at some time. You can easily hop between the islands by vaporetto, or public water bus. And of course, private water taxi drivers and gondoliers will always be on hand should you need them.

Things not to miss in Venice

Once you’ve ticked off all the major sights and experiences here are three things to make sure you don’t miss.

  1. Losing yourself in the winding backstreets of Venice is a real pleasure. Just start walking and unexpected sights will appear – and you’ll find yourself well away from the crowds.
  2. The Campanile is the city’s tallest building, at nearly 100 metres high. Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III rode a horse to the top of the tower in 1451. Today you can take the lift to enjoy the superb views over Venice with the Dolomites just visible in the distance.
  3. Venetian cuisine is unique. Don’t miss out on the chance to try oca in onto (goose in its own fat) or freshwater lagoon fish done in saor.

  • First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Venice?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Venice, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
