Hi, just came back from Venice last Saturday. We were staying in a hotel in town with a flight departing at 11:30 (This is the Delta flight.) we were picked up by water taxi at 8:30 taken to the car park, then by car to the airport, had our bags checked and were on our way to the Gate by 10:00! Of course this was a Saturday so traffic may be different then a week day but it really was a breeze. All my VAT stuff was by credit card so only dropped the envelopes off in the box on the counter and no need to wait. The line did look to be moving awfully slow though. There's only one terminal and it really was much easier then say LAX or JFK. Of course becasue we were so early, the flight was delayed another 45 minutes, ain't that always the way?
