I’m posting on this topic because the last one was in 2019. We are staying near San Stae. Have a noon flight for the US. We have luggage. We’re advised to take the Alilaguna to the airport, but then I read comments about Alilaguna to airport being full and not letting you get in. I have their website and timetable. We’re planning to leave our lodging at 9am. Would it be better to take the regular vaporeto to the bus station, and take the bus to the airport. Please advise if you’ve had experience with this. Thanks

How long before your flight do you have to check in.
The orange line takes 50 minutes, so if you leave your accommodation at 9am that seems to be cutting it fine.
I do not have experience of the orange line, so don't know about full boats.
If this is a worry, how practical would it be for you to get the blue line from the railway station, which starts from there. The only snag with that is the journey time - it goes the long way round and takes nearly two hours!
So maybe the bus is the best route - but do check timings/checkin.

I have used the Vaporetto/bus option when flying out of Marco Polo and found it the quickest and the cheapest. Bus takes 20 mins from Piazzale Roma to the airport and drop-off is at the airport doors. You can purchase tickets in advance on line on the ATVO website or from the ticket office at PR. Luggage goes under the bus.

Several years ago our tour guide (Trafalgar) had 2 private water taxis reserved for our group. Getting on the water taxi from hotel dock and going straight to the airport dock was the PERFECT way to end our trip.
