    Picturesque villages surrounded by vineyards and splendid landscapes. No wonder that the Lake Geneva Region has attracted celebrities like Charlie Chaplin and Audrey Hepburn.

    Has aged beyond its years but still manages to be practical and functional if not pretty. Lines at security can be long but service remains friendly. Retail and F&B options are very good.

    If you want to go to downtown Geneva, pick your FREE train ticket after luggage claim, & hop to ANY train. They all have as their 1st stop Cointrin station, & it takes 7 mins, vs. 30 mins of the bus)

    Don't buy bottled water here for your flight..it's a scandalous £3.50-£5 a bottle. It's cheaper onboard the plane!! (Easyjet £2/bottle for HarrogateSpringwater-& that's bad enough for a Yorkshireman!)

    In a bus to the terminal? Arriving from a non-EU or non-Schengen country? Stay close to the right hand side doors, preferably the middle ones: you'll be first out for passport control.

    Get 90 minutes of free Wi-Fi by scanning your boarding pass on one of these machines. This one is located on the arrivals floor, right next to exit 3

    Whether by bus, boat or tram - in Geneva, there are a lot of sights to see. Let yourself be inspired and experience the city in a new way! More in the LH Travel Report Geneva.

    The free transport ticket into Geneva is no longer offered as of 1 January 2022. There is a ticket machine inside baggage claim.

    Sad news, no more free 80 min rail tickets as of January 1st 2022. Still only one ticket machine in baggage hall, plenty more in railway station. Ask your hotel about the free transport card instead

    The guy who invented the security check queue should get the Nobel price for the most unproductive innovation in the history of mankind. Be sure to take the priority lane.

    Don’t delay getting to baggage reclaim, they are super quick at transferring your luggage from the plane and it will be on the conveyor belt before you get to it. Also, food options reasonable.

    Well only know the french part. Have a beer at the Wellness bar and of course take a piece of delicious chocolate. When arriving take the free 2 hours public transport ticket at the machine.

    The airport itself is fine , you'll have everything you expect from a big airport, shops, restaurants, cafés. You won't get lost as everything is very well indicated. Come early for security checks.

    Always take the right-most booth to enter security, it will force you away from the old school X-rays with slow lines to the faster scanners. Even if the line looks longer, it's always faster.

    Number 5 bus goes to Intercontinental & close to the United Nations. It’s quite a walk from arrivals, go upstairs just before SBB Tkt office and you’re there. Get free 80 min tkt in baggage reclaim.

    Geneva Airport, a little big airport in a little big city. Find here the only Burger King in Geneva or if you're fancier and like a nice view, the altitude bar & restaurant is really nice.

    Quick exit. P51 offers decent long term parking. Le Chef upstairs is a hidden gem if you have to hang around.

    If you are a transit passenger, you don’t have any chance to access to the main building. They are transferring you to a tiny area located in the aircraft parking zone. No smoking zone and no escape.

    Go to Altitude above the shop and restaurant area in the departures section. Wonderful food with a view of the runway. Also does just drinks and coffee.

    After checking in, don't muck about. Crack straight on getting airside as security and passport control queues can take an hour or more to get through during busy periods. Some food options airside.

    If your flight is leaving from gate B make sure you do your souvenir purchase before leaving the main area (right after security). There is not much beside a coffee shop in gate B.

    Small ... so quick to get through, otherwise old, tired, not enough seating and staff who have forgotten how to smile and treat you like a human. What you expect at most airports.

    On the French side, get your bottled water at the vending machine upstairs instead of the cafe to save a couple francs.

    The worst airport in Switzerland. Total chaos. Forget about your connection flight if you have less than 1.30 hours. Just fly through Zurich.

    An atrocious airport by modern standards. Cluttered and unclear signage, passengers processed sclerotically, the stench of cigarette smoke.
