Airport Venezia / Lido (LIPV)

Great approach, late change from IFR to VFR with steep descent. AVGAS quite expensive, but gets you a parking spot on the concrete apron. Two days parking 65€. Be aware of the high trees on short final when landing on 05 (preferred runway). Grass runway in good condition. They have an own harbour and call you a watertaxi which brings you to 70€ directly to your hotel. At departure, Info Radio will get you the IFR clearance which makes the pick-up very easy. The airport is stunningly beautiful and you should not miss a visit - highly recommended.

Three days with TBM: €158, parked on the paved apron. Customs/immigration clearance was surprisingly quick for Italy. No ATIS on Tuesdays; the flight plan must be closed by phone. On departure, AFIS coordinated the IFR pickup. Runway feels practically like concrete, absolutely level. Water taxi comes right to the terminal; charged us €75.
