We are traveling to Italy in April. Our flight home is from Venice 8 in the morning. Does public transportation run as early as 5 in the morning? And what is the best way to get from Venice to the airport? This is the address of the hotel: Castello - San Zaccaria 4656 | Fondamenta del Vin, Venice 30122, Italy.
Thanks for your help.

Good news: 8am is a late morning flight for Venice!

We have used the Alilaguna line (private vaporetto company) for transportation directly from St. Mark's Square to the airport. The routes and time frames are here: http://www.alilaguna.it/
You should be able to catch a boat that will get you to the airport at the right time. I believe that it costs 13 Euro. You will have to check at the Alilaguna dock at St. Mark's Square for actual departure times.

We, too, had an early flight from Venice and made the connection okay. However, the waterbuses are very full and crowded early in the morning. We left Venice last year the end of March (so we were out of season) but the water buses were still packed.
