Venice Marco Polo Airport
Traveller Comments....
"To top it off somebody had thrown out an half eaten pizza so I had dinner thrown in." (b willett)
"The police woke me from my half sleep no fewer than three times to check my passport and tickets. I should add that two of the times I was woken was by the same pair of policemen. " (DAMO)

This is a horrible airport to sleep in! I had to arrive around midnight on the last bus out of Venice and couldn't check in until around 4:30 when my airline's counter opened.
First of all, the airport closes so it's like a creepy ghost town in there. There are restaurants open, so bring your own food if you think you'll be hungry. The lights are dim and there is little info or helpful directional signage. I saw a couple ask several airport authorities where a certain check in desk was and they dismissed them without a care.
There is no carpet or cushiony chairs. There are hard, cold metal chairs with arm rests. There are a few that don't have arm rests so you can stretch out if you're lucky.
In the middle of the night, a team of security guards came and looked at my passport and flight info. Word to the wise: they will give you a hard time if you don't have a print off of an e-ticket or other documentation that you're flying out of there. An officer came over to me, woke me up and took over ten minutes looking at my passport, international student ID and e-ticket.
It was also FREEZING. I think they turn down the heat at night and the metal benches don't help.
