Greg NasmythFebruary 19, 2012Do not rent a car from French side. Swiss tax you to drive on their motorway, car return is a feat of navigation.
Atila SimsApril 1, 2012If you're able to checkin on foursquare, it means you arrive way too early at the airport!
If you're staying here overnight, expect the police to come and check your passport and boarding pass.
Andrij KrochakSeptember 20, 2015Small, crowded and kind of outdated airport for a city of Geneva's calibre.
XyalaJuly 14, 2010Geneva airport is now offering unlimited Free wifi (at least at night) on the network : Free_Wifi_GVA
Duty fee prices for Swiss watches are not low. Better off in Geneva center or Basel.
Matthäus LondonJanuary 5, 2011Over-priced, under-tasty sushi in the café but free wi-fi which is great
Anoying speaker with bird noise on the outside terrasse !!!
ReRe AlnamrootiFebruary 1, 2015Swiss air business lounge sucks.. Not as many shops as I'd wish in duty free.
Tommi SaikkonenJanuary 27, 2012beware the electronics shop AFTER the security check - prices are higher than outside!- Penny LeeseJuly 29, 2011One hour free Internet just open browser and get an SMS code on mobile. Swiss lounge can do star alliance boarding cards
Anna GrebenFebruary 16, 2016Such a bad experience I've got here. I missed my flight. Nobody care about you, nobody wants to help, so SLUGGISH staff! Disgusting
Do not forget your Double Whooper Cheese :-) The only Burger King in Geneva is located at the 1st Floor - enjoy
Sergey PlugotarenkoJanuary 9, 2012free wi-fi in the swiss-air lounge zone :) only for 1 hour, what's a pity :(
Avoid the winter weekends if you can as it's going to be the worst nightmare you had in a decade... checkin staff from Swissport couldn't care less about their jobs
CLDecember 17, 2018Before heading out the exit gate, why not get a free ticket covers for any public transport to Central. Number 5 / 10 bus to Geneva central (roughly 30min). Alternatively a faster frequent train.
Zurich Airport is much better ... this is like a small Ryanair airport by comparison.
Clean information desk helpful. EasyJet to avoid. They r thrown a mile away in a different terminal like rats!
If you are flying early come here in advance: customs are really slow
Robert DykeAugust 26, 2013Be care when heading to the UK via the D gates. You go through passport control and there's nothing. No shops or food places.
- 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

"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."
