Prague to Venice Airport?

I'm doing the SkyEurope flight from Prague to Venice Treviso in June 2009. To get to/from Prague Airport I used http://www.prague-airport-shuttle.com/ for transport. Very nice, timely and not too expensive.

There is a bus that will pick you up and transfer you from Venice Treviso to Piazzale Roma in Venice. Alternately you can take a taxi from Treviso Airport to Treviso Train Station and then the train from Treviso to Venice Mestre and on to Venice San Lucia. It's a short distance and not expensive at all.

I have used the taxis in Prague a number of times to/from the airport and didn't have any issues. I try to make sure they are using the meters and have agreed to an approximate fare before I get in.

Can't help with Treviso as we flew into VCE.

It's a short distance

Only if you think an hour and 10 minutes is a short trip. The buses from Treviso are coordinated to leave 20 minutes after the flight arrives, so you should be in Venice 1½ hours after your flight lands. Here is the schedule.

The bus from Treviso to Venice costs €6, one way.

Yes, 43 Kilometers is a short distance in my book. A little over an hour on the bus or 30-45 minutes on the train all the way to Venice San Lucia.

Compared to a night train it's more like a blink-of-an-eye!

We took the metro/tram from Prague to the airport. It was cheap, kind of fast and easy. I wouldn't bother with the taxis.

Take the bus from Treviso to Venice proper. It is 12 Euro per person, so make sure you have the cash with you as the ATM in the airport was heavily used and not working when we were there. Luckily we had enough cash to get us through. Czech does not use Euro, so it is quite likely you might not have any when you get to Treviso.

Also, once you get to Venice, stay on the bus until the last stop. There is one it stops at before that LOOKS right, but it is on the wrong side of area.

The bus from Treviso to Venice is definitely the easiest way as others have said. We had a different experience in Prague from Arnold. The taxi at the station wanted 1600 Kruna to take us to the hotel by the Old Square. We refused, he eventually came down to 400 Kruna which we still refused. We walked across teh park in front of the station and picked up a cab there for 150 Kruna. We discovered our hetel would have picked us up for 250 K which is how we got back to teh station when we left.

Check with your hotel, they may have a car or cab on call.

After the bus ends at Venice, must I board a water taxi?

You can board a water taxi, a water bus (vaporetto), or just walk.

The bus comes in at the Piazzale Roma and there is a Vaporetta pier right there. Check the location of your hotel against a vaporetto map to see which number takes you closest. Be prepared to walk and possibly go up and over stepped bridges to reach your hotel.
