Good to know
- Private jet parking at Venice is limited and given out first come, first served. Book as soon as your dates are set, especially for the Carnival, the Biennale in May and the Film Festival in September.
- Treviso, about 30 minutes' drive away, is the alternative when Venice is full.
- Some hotels can only be reached by boat. We book the water taxi through the handler so it meets you at the terminal.
