The 90-minute ticket is tight: about 20 minutes on the bus, a walk across Piazzale Roma, up to 20 minutes waiting for the boat, then 39 minutes on the water. Miss the connection and you may need to buy again.

Same EUR 18.00 as the Alilaguna boat and about a quarter of an hour quicker when the connection at Piazzale Roma is short; the boat is the one to take with heavy luggage or a hotel by the water.

Buy the EUR 18.00 combined ticket, not two singles: the ordinary EUR 9.50 vaporetto ticket excludes the airport bus leg, and two singles cost EUR 19.50.
