Hi, we’re in Venice today and need to travel to Milan tomorrow. I’d rather not pay the additional fees for the train reservations which would cost up to €130 for the five of us (€13 per train leg and it changes in Bologna). We can go on regional trains via Verona at no cost - are there any other options for it to be a bit quicker and not incur the high cost? We have interail global 1st class passes. Thanks, Jon

I think most of the direct fast trains leave from Venice Mestre, on the mainland. If you’re starting in Venice Santa Lucia, that’s why you’re seeing connecting itineraries.
You can get a regional train from Santa Lucia to Mestre (10 min) then pick up a Frecciarossa. This will cut your reservation costs in half.
Edit: it may also help to search to Milano City, rather then specifying Milano Centrale.

You don't have to change in Bologna. There's a direct Frecciarossa from Venezia Mestre to Milano Centrale at e.g. 8:00, 9:00, and 11:30.
If you leave from Santa Lucia (you didn't specify), then take any regional train to Mestre.
