We recommend at least 50 minutes for a comfortable connection at Venezia Tessera. The minimum connection time is 35 minutes for schengen flights and 45 minutes for non-schengen flights. Transit between terminals takes up to 15 minutes.

Schengen-to-Schengen: 35 min. Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 45 min. Non-Schengen-to-Schengen: 50 min. Non-Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 45 min. These are the shortest layovers airlines will sell at Venezia Tessera.

Venice Marco Polo is a single compact terminal, so connections are largely a matter of walking, not transiting between buildings. The main challenge is passport control for transfers between Schengen and non-Schengen flights, which can queue up during peak tourist season. All gates sit within one connected terminal building along two piers, so passengers simply walk between them—there are no shuttles or trains. Connections between a Schengen and a non-Schengen flight require passing through passport control, which is the main time variable, while pure Schengen-to-Schengen transfers can avoid it entirely if already airside.
