Been there 4 times and never enjoyed it, exert for once when I spent my time with a group of drugged up touring musicians.
I think it's one of the most boring places in Europe unless you love expensive shopping

I would never subject myself to that again.
Taking a train to Venice

Phew. After our conversations last summer, I was first to see MXP as your destination. Glad you're getting to go to Venice again. No flights from TLV-VCE though?

Which conversation, remind me?
There are flights but for the price of one ticket I'm getting three.

No specific one, I just believe that we were all involved in Italy planning last summer and the reasons not to go to MXP were brought up and made clear.
No point options?
Also curious why you keep going back to Italy. Obviously it's beautiful and fun, but I'm not sure how many times I would enjoy VCE when I could be visiting other places? I imagine it's because it's hard to go far and stay away for a longer trip, but nothing else in Europe that's doable/interesting?

I would never take points to Europe. It's cheaper 100% of the time for me to book revenue. I just enjoy Venice for shabbos, I would not go back for during the week. It's cheaper for me to go to Venice then it is for most people to go to northern or southern israel from Jerusalem for shabbos. And regarding visiting other places in Europe, I did almost all of them

Hehe okay. I agree Shabbos in Venice is a great amount of time, especially once you've had a day or in the week to visit the sites. But flying and then taking the train must not be fun.

Do you have some sort of discount to Venice you'd like to share?

its not as bad as it sounds, its a 4 hour flight then i will be taking a break to go into the city to eat supper and then a direct 2:35 train to within a ten minute walk from my hotel. Although i have flown from NY to there getting there two hours before shabbos and leaving two hours after shabbos and i would do it again (if my kid stays home

)
I dont have any discounts, i am just ridiculously good (pat on the back)at budget TLV-EU and intra-Europe travel
