Editor's notes:

• We've flown US Airways through Philadelphia, and we can recommend the airport. (The white rocking chairs along the main concourse are a pleasant place to sit while killing time between flights.)

• Delta Airlines also offers nonstop service between the United States and Venice. On most days, Boeing 767 flights leave New York's JFK International Airport in the evening, arriving in Venice the next morning. Return trips to JFK depart VCE around 11 a.m. or noon, depending on the season. For details, check the flight planner at www.delta.com.
