Marie KazhimuratovaSeptember 24, 2012Not the biggest airport in Europe, but that's what makes it so homey! I still prefer to fly from Zurich though
Get here early as the queue for security is quite long and inefficient.
Arrive on time, security is one of the worst I have seen in Europe. Massive q's and wait time on busy days easily 45-1h. You'll be surprised how unefficient the system is...so not Swiss
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.
Caroline RagotJune 11, 2011Get 1-hour free internet connection with Free_WiFi_GVA and don't forget to logoff
Paul DunstanFebruary 21, 2015The organisation in check in is a complete mess but the departure lounge is good
A Migros supermarket is open 7/7 at the end of the train station which is located in the airport.
Do not separate your group in this compact maze of an airport!
Wow they just installed self-service luggage drop. #cool #tech
Ugo OrlandoApril 2, 2015Neverending lines. Almost missed my flight. Arrive earlier than what you planned.
Valentine KonovFebruary 10, 2013Worsest airport on the planet. Its closed 23:00-04:00 for enter AND for exit. And nobody matter who is in, and no warnings that it would be closed. No possibility for smoke at that time. No sleep-boxs
Wifi use salonvip much faster Password is airfrancegeneva09
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.
Getting duty free processed is confusing. Just go to the American Express desk.
Fast and efficient airport, especially during the week. Expensive though
Daron YondemJuly 28, 2017Do not ever connect from MEA to US through this airport. If somehow you get stuck in the airport the only accommodation they can provide is a dirty, insecure dorm and no lockers.
Very few options at the C gates so be sure to shop and eat before you go through passport control.
Come early as the queues for the security control are always long due to insufficient resources. Security personnel is usually rude and inefficient.
Andrij KrochakSeptember 20, 2015Small, crowded and kind of outdated airport for a city of Geneva's calibre.
get your food and bits before heading to gate. only small shops beyond
If you're staying here overnight, expect the police to come and check your passport and boarding pass.
