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.

It may legally carry up to twenty people — the municipal regulation caps a licence at twenty, and operators run boats seating about ten. That is far more than the four almost every other airport taxi allows.

It still does not beat the boat service for a group, because the fare stops being flat above four people: eight travelers pay EUR 150.00 against EUR 144.00 on Alilaguna. It only pulls ahead at nine.

Between 00:00 and 07:00, check you are buying a boat. The operators' own consortium warns that at those hours an airport booking may mean a car to Piazzale Roma and a boat onward.

A flat EUR 10.00 is added to the whole fare between 22:00 and 06:00.

This is the only option that can reach a hotel door, where a canal allows it — which for some addresses with luggage is the whole argument.
