One of the Interjet SSJ100 used for Interjet staff orientation, in Venice at the SuperJet International facility.
I arrived a day before the aircraft handover. My chauf‐
fer was waiting for me with a limousine at the airport
and drove me quickly to my hotel. He left me his phone
number in case I needed a ride someplace during the
day.
I was checked in by 9 AM. I've decided to have break‐
fast at the hotel, as the "banana bread" served as
breakfast on my direct Air Canada Rouge flight, was
simple uneatable and left me hungry. I've had a the
rest of the day to myself and decided to explore Venice
with my camera, but wanted to experience the local
transportation to get there. At the hotel I've purchased
The City Pass for 20€ which is good for 24 hrs on all
buses and more importantly on the waterbuses, which
is one of the best way to see the city, as it cruises on
the Grand Canal. It was certainly a wild experience to
ride on the local bus into Venice, which filled up quickly
and felt like being “in a sardine can.” The pushing,
showing, finger signs and obvious profanities hurdled at
the each other was fascinating to see.
After getting on the waterbus I've stopped at the Piazza
San Marco and explored the area nearby, then got back
on the waterbus and continued my scenic cruise. I've
found Venice to be exceptionally scenic, and very busy
with tourists from all over the world. The only sour
point was that to find public toilets is nearly impossi‐
ble. One can forget going into one of the many hotels
to use the washroom. Especially at Metropole hotel
where they were extremely rude!
When in Venice for business or pleasure, by
yourself or your family and need a friendly
chauffer to drive you around or to pick you
up at the airport, I can wholeheartedly rec‐
ommend Alessio Cortivo of VIP Service. Ales‐
sio is an exceptional friendly, professional
person who speaks English well. He can be
reached via his email: [email protected]
