Strollers
At Marco Polo Venice Airport, you can take strollers through the security checks and up to the gate. In this case, the stroller must be labelled at the check-in desk, and then remains at your disposal until boarding. Depending on the airport of arrival, it will be handed over to you at the exit of the aircraft or in the baggage pick-up bay. Alternatively, the stroller can be directly taken onto the plane, after informing the check-in desk, which will label it as hold luggage to be handed back at the oversize baggage gate on the ground floor of the terminal. From then on the stroller will no longer be at your disposal to as far as baggage pick-up at your airport of arrival. If Venezia Marco Polo Airport is your arrival airport, the stroller will be delivered to you either upon exiting the aircraft or at one of the two areas dedicated to oversized baggage.
