Lars Damgaard NielsenJune 15, 2010Free WiFi for an hour, but if you see this you probably know already ;-)
Chris R (thechristophe)March 1, 2020Not much after you go through international security. Too small.
What's good here? Very little. The place is a shit hole. Switzerland should be ashamed of the place.
Alexandre PerretNovember 3, 2010Avoid buying food/drinks in expensive airport shops, instead go to the Migros store located in the railway station, it's only a few minutes walk.
Kevin MarsdenMay 23, 2019Awful to get through, staff doing every else apart from helping passengers .
Pinar SaglavJune 26, 2011welcome to the world's most expensive duty free. but this is switzerland, after all.
This is the worst airport ever! It's too small comparing to the number of flights/passanger. not well organized at all. only good thing here are the restaurants
Do not ever fly Etihad if you can help it. Disaster awaits those who risk it.
British airways and easyjet gates are really far away. British airways staff are rude, unprofessional and useless.
Sam HDecember 18, 2014No need for a cab. The train is only 7 minutes to arrive in the center of Geneva (all the hotels). If arriving from a flight, you get a free ticket with flight stub.
MOSM MFebruary 23, 2015The worst airport . I really chucked its not matching with repetition of Geneva
JackieHoleFebruary 8, 2012So you can't check in from your laptop hey? Hmmmmm - it knows where I am though!
Toni MoraJanuary 19, 2013Worst airport I have ever been, flights cancelled and no information whatsoever, no well educated service from Swiss, pretty sad really.

"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."
