Cointrin Airport Geneva (GVA)
Geneva airport is served by almost all European carriers
as well as a few daily trans-Atlantic flights. These include
flights from Montréal's Trudeau International (YUL) on Air
Canada (AC), Washington's Dulles (IAD) on United (UA), New
York's Kennedy (JFK) on Swiss (LX), and from Newark International
on Continental (CO). Otherwise, when flying from North and
South America you will have to change planes. Most passengers
travelling in from the Asia-Pacific region and Africa will
need to change planes as well.
Within the last few years, Geneva itself has become a hub
for the low-cost carrier Easy Jet serving a number of
destinations in Europe including Great Britain.
The airport itself has an UBS bank with ATMs and exchange
machines in the arrival area. There is an American Express
office just beyond passport control in the departure lounge.
There are several cafes and duty free shopping as well, open
8AM-11PM.
To get into town from the airport, taxis cost approximately
30CHF. The number 10 bus leaves every 15 minutes from 06:00
to 23:00. Get off at the 22-Cantons stop for train station.
All trains leaving Geneva airport train station stop at the
main train/bus station. Train/bus tickets are around 3CHF
(valid for one hour) and can be purchased at machines at the
bus stop and in the station. A free transport ticket to the
city of Geneva can be obtained from the Geneva Transport kiosk
in the airport arrival terminal. This ticket is valid for
80 minutes anywhere in Geneva and suburbs (with this ticket
you can go as far as CERN or Anieres or Veyrier), but make
sure to get it before you leave the baggage claim area. There
is a change machine next to the UBS ATM and at the bus stop.
