Venice Airport Transfer – Airport Water Taxi
Europe . Italy . Travel . Venice . Worldwide TravelGenerally speaking, you should expect to pay around US$30-35 ( € 27-30) for a shared, one-way water taxi and a whopping US$215-290 ( € 200-265) for a private water taxi that will pick you up or drop you off right at the airport. (Prices to and from the bus station and cruise ship port are a little less for private water taxis, but about the same for shared transportation). So save your money, enjoy the ride around and through Venice, and drink an extra spritz Veneziano or crisp Pinot Grigio for us with all the money you save by NOT booking a private taxi to or from the airport!

Venice Airport Restaurants – Marco Polo International Airport
Europe . Italy . Travel . Venice . Worldwide TravelMarco Polo International Airport sits on the mainland just over 4 nautical miles from the city of Venice. Although check-in and security are streamlined and relatively easy to get through, international passport control can take a frustratingly long time to get through. We’ve narrowed down restaurant and food options to our #1 pick at Marco Polo, deCanto Wine Bar and Restaurant, just around the corner from passport control.

Air Canada Terminal Pearson – Toronto Airport
Canada . Ontario . Travel . Worldwide TravelYou’ll find the Air Canada Terminal Pearson at the Toronto, Ontario International Airport a bit isolated from the rest of the airport. If you don’t want to just sit and watch people while your phone recharges, take our advice and check out public art installations like “Tilted Spheres” (the piece had to be installed before the roof of Terminal 1 could be finished), eat Udon Noodles at Lee Kitchen, and sip a glass of wine under one of the more interesting chandeliers made up of brightly-colored hand-blown glass and steel at Marathi Wine Bar.

Vancouver Airport First Nations Art
British Columbia . Canada . Travel . Worldwide TravelThe Vancouver, British Columbia Airport (YVR), contains an impressive collection of regional First Nations art. Divided into pieces that represent land, sea, and sky, the YVR art collection reflects not only the ancient Haida and other first nation traditions throughout British Columbia, but also the prominence of indigenous culture and experience here and elsewhere in Canada. From Bill Reid’s Spirit of the Haida Gwaii: The Jade Canoe (1994) to Joe David’s Welcome Figures carved in the Clayoquot tradition of the Nuu-chah-nulth people, First Nations Art transforms the otherwise typical contemporary airport facility into a remarkable collection of national importance.
