Flights to Venice

Your flight time to Venice depends on where you’re flying from and which airport you’re landing in. A journey from New York to Venice will take around eleven hours including a connection in London, while Los Angeles to Venice takes just under 15 hours with a connection.

You can fly to Venice with British Airways from London Heathrow and London Gatwick.

Prices are generally more expensive in the summer and during February, when Venice Carnival takes place. Use our search to find the cheapest fares.

Spring and autumn are excellent seasons to visit Venice. Temperatures are cooler and the streets are quieter. The city swelters in the summer months and can experience flooding in the winter during the phenomenon known as “high water”. If, however, you don’t mind the heat or you’re happy to pack your wellies, you’ll still have a great time exploring the neighbourhoods and canals during these times.

Lots of the city’s attractions are free to visit, including the much-photographed St Mark’s Square with its gilded basilica, which doesn’t charge for entry. Just make sure to head over early in the day as there’s usually a long wait to get in. Helpfully, Venice’s winding alleyways are easy to explore on foot, or you can book on to a free walking tour to pick up a few historical facts along the way. Staying hydrated in the heat is cheap too, as there are plenty of water fountains scattered around the city. Take water bottles to fill up throughout the day rather than buying them.

You can reach Venice by a variety of transport options, but most will involve a boat, whether that’s a water taxi or a public ferry. You can take a water taxi all the way from Venice’s Marco Polo Airport to your hotel or hop on a bus to get closer to the city – most forms of transport will drop you at Piazzale Roma. From here you can continue your journey via the water, or by walking.

There are lots of standout destinations in Italy, but Venice’s unique landscape has cemented its reputation as one of the country’s most iconic cities. Its long history has seen the creation of foodie favourites like tiramisu, and the region inspired the poet Lord Byron to create some of his most famous works. It’s a must-visit destination, whether you're enjoying a hearty bowl of pasta, shopping for a Venetian mask or attending the Venice Film Festival.

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.

If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.

Citizens of the UK and Ireland and EU passport holders do not need a visa to visit Italy, but they will need to hold a valid UK passport with at least six months validity. If you hold a passport from a country or territory outside of these areas, you may need to apply for a visa before you travel. You can find out more about visa requirements for all the countries we fly to at the IATA Travel Centre.
