Goksel TanJuly 19, 2017Very long waiting at the security check. Be aware that D gates are very far away
you can access the French mobile networks in here and avoid roaming!
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.
Charles BMarch 1, 2012this place smells like money and perfume. why do they make you walk through duty free 20x during connection walk? free wifi for an hour.
Very slow security, allow good time even if it does not seem like there's a lot of people in the airport
todd minnisMarch 20, 2011A two pence piece will work on the baggage carts if you do not have a 2 euro piece!
Free WiFi limited to 90 min. No electrical socks. Expensive and old. The Geneva international deserves a much better airport.
Fendz AzMarch 5, 2011Small n nice busy airport. Not much shops though but free wifi renewable every hour!
If you are pressed for time, avoid Marie-Jo at Swiss Tickets desk
Before going through security go to the third floor to Altitude champagne bar.
I hate this airport. Planes for and from London are systematically late. Bags take ages to arrive. It seriously not working for me
Gabriela SaurelJuly 1, 2010You will need 2 CHF or 2 EUR to rent a luggage cart in baggage claim so come prepared
Niclas SkoldApril 22, 2018An airport in Switzerland that can’t handle some snow without total chaos is pretty amazing. Very expensive place to shop and dine.

"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"

"This is also a Priority Pass lounge, just a few minutes walk from the generic airport one. The mini cheese quiches are awesome."
