Venice Marco Polo AirportPage 3 Departure tips
ABOVE: A large screen behind the information desk in the departures terminal tells where to check in for your flight. Inside the departures lobby, you'll find limited seating and long rows of check-in desks to the left and right of the information counter and security gates. Each counter is assigned to a specific flight (shown on an electronic sign above the counter). If you don't see a counter for your flight, don't panic--it simply hasn't opened yet. Warning: Like most airport terminals, Marco Polo was designed in an era of less intensive security procedures, and both ticketing and security lines can be horrendously slow during busy periods. On one recent Monday in late October, it took us an hour just to check in. We suggest arriving at least two and a half hours before your flight--or even earlier, if you're departing on a weekend, during high season, or on a transoceanic flight.
Baggage storage Look for the deposito bagagli, or left-luggage office, in the arrivals hall. To check hours and prices ahead of time, phone the Cooperativa Trasbagagli at 0412605043 or e-mail info@trasbagagli.it. Airport Web siteAeroporto di Venezia Marco

Once
you get through security, Marco Polo's departures area is quite nice. You'll find bars
and cafés, a gelateria, a good assortment of shops, and
plenty of seating in an airy, modern, well-lit terminal.
