Anyone here going on the My Way tour in October? We're wondering which Venice airport is best? Also, what's the best way to get from airport to hotel? Thank you for your help!!

The main (and closest) international Airport is Marco Polo. The airport website lists all the means of getting to Venice. Your hotel website should also list how to reach it from the airport. And a search of this site will list dozens of previous forum threads on the subject.

Here is what the tour website says about airports and hotels:
Tour Hotels
One month prior to the tour departure, in your customer account you'll find the directions to your first tour hotel and a complete list of hotels where we'll be staying in the Documents section of your tour account.
Flights
Most tour members arrange to fly into Venice (VCE) and out of Rome (FCO) — choose "multicity" on flight-booking websites. Booking round-trip to one city will require a connecting flight, train trip, or additional overnight stay in Italy.

The airport for Venice is Marco Polo. I like to take the Alilaguna boat from the airport to the Venetian central island group city to reach my hotel.

Once you sign up for the tour, the name of your first hotel in Venice will be in your documents. If that document doesn’t give you directions to the hotel, the documents closer to the tour will. When we took that tour, we flew from Sicily to the Venice airport, took the ACTV BUS TO Piazzale Roma, then Vaparetto #1 to the stop indicated in our hotel directions. That said, it took so long using that route my husband was ready to throw me in the lagoon. The Alilaguna wouldn’t have been much faster, but it’s more direct.
