Get here early as the queue for security is quite long and inefficient.
Serge BMay 28, 2013Taxi is pricey , 43chf into the city , use direct bus that goes 10min interval starting at 5:45am
Not a bad place if you like planes and duty free. Meredith likes the bathrooms too.
Free wifi but only if you go to the info desk in arrivals to get a code which isn’t clearly marked. Small, crowded, disorganized airport. Geneva deserves better.
Bruno Sánchez-Andrade NuñoNovember 8, 2013One hour free wifi is great, but you need a Swiss phone to get the code. #noturisty
Try to get a fast track sticker or 'accidentally' go through the French quarter.
Søren AnkerMarch 26, 2011You can get as many free WiFi hours as you want. Just have a new password re-sent.
I can not understand the mentality of Geneva Airport Duty Free. Everything is 1,5 time expensive than prices in town.
Svetlana SvetovaJuly 23, 2013Your baggage can easily be at the another conveyor without airport tableaux announcing that.
If your 1 hour free wifi expires, just try requesting another code. Just worked for me, and I'm on my second hour (on an android phone)
Joanna CharitakiOctober 7, 201720 euros for a salad, a bottle of water and fruit...oh well, its switzerland!!!
Justin CookeApril 3, 2013Get a Starbucks before you go through security and enjoy the airport's Free WiFi
Remember to use priority lane for security check if flying in Business or have a frequent flyer tier card
Come early as the queues for the security control are always long due to insufficient resources. Security personnel is usually rude and inefficient.
Peter McGillSeptember 27, 2013Allow at least 30 minutes to go through airport security. They are always crazy busy!!
Andrew K.July 27, 2013Free airport WiFi requires a cell number. If not yet through security Starbucks on the top level is open.
Olga RomashevskayaAugust 31, 2015EU tax return is confusing, have to be done before check in and might take a while.
Andrij KrochakSeptember 20, 2015Small, crowded and kind of outdated airport for a city of Geneva's calibre.
Philip TorchinskySeptember 11, 2011When departing and have time, try chocolat chad (hot chocolate) in Swiss Coffee House, gates A.
Geren LockhartMarch 26, 2013The business lounge for swiss is sooooooo much better than the senator / first weird but true.
Paul DunstanFebruary 21, 2015The organisation in check in is a complete mess but the departure lounge is good
Snowdrop TransfersJuly 27, 2012Ski transfers from Geneva Airport to Courchevel, Meribel, Les Arcs, Tignes, Val d'Isere, La Plagne and all the major resorts - Snowdrop Transfers Read more
Nicole BlankSeptember 15, 2015Some of the terminals, C50s, are in a forgotten corner of the airport. After I showed my passport for the fourth time to access my gate, there was not even an available bathroom. This place sucks.
Duty fee prices for Swiss watches are not low. Better off in Geneva center or Basel.
All trains leaving from the station will stop in the city centre, only 6 minute ride , a free ticket available near the baggage exit.
JohnnJanuary 21, 2017The check in is getting worse and worse. Even if you show up early, you have to wait one hour because of passengers from other companies at the same check-in. Terrible- ReRe AlnamrootiFebruary 1, 2015Swiss air business lounge sucks.. Not as many shops as I'd wish in duty free.
Antonio PipitoneApril 13, 2012Sprungli chocolate next to Hermes...paradise!!! The best chocolate on earth!!!
Do not forget your Double Whooper Cheese :-) The only Burger King in Geneva is located at the 1st Floor - enjoy
Matthäus LondonJanuary 5, 2011Over-priced, under-tasty sushi in the café but free wi-fi which is great
Vangelis KoukidisAugust 15, 2017A part of this airport is rather old, meaning long queues and limited space. The shopping area is not bad, looks renovated.
Fernanda FernandesMarch 9, 2014Interesting the fact you have an airport half in Swiss half in France

"Best connection to Geneva city center and good option for shopping on Sunday."

"Good airport but if you are flying back from skiing I recommend going straight through to security as the queues build to insane levels"

"Love this lounge. Great place to fuel up and work before your flight. Wifi is reliable and plenty of places to charge. Food is decent too."
