 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hola,
My daughter is flying to Geneva and needs a transfer to meet us in Sallanches.
Her Ezjet flight from Gatwick lands at 13:25 and she will only have hand luggage.
There is a Ouibus leaving GVA at 14:30 and one at 18:30 (I think).
If the flight is on-time is it reasonable to expect to get on the 14:30?
Where exactly does she met the Ouibus at GVA?
Gracias!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If, your daughter can keep her hand baggage with her and if the flight arrives on time and if there’s no other delays then yes an hour from touch down to getting on a bus is doable.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks @marcellus,
Where does she meet the Ouibus at GVA? I think I read near the tourist desks.

@bpirkle, can’t help for definite with that one, I suspect come out of baggage reclaim and the desks are there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If my daughter’s arrival on Saturday was a guide she should make it comfortably. Plane arrival time is the key.
Don’t know where the meeting point is.

The Ouibus stop is pretty much straight ahead out of the exit doors opposite where you come out of arrivals. I think you need to cross some taxi lanes to end up at the bus area which is the furthest road running left to right.
You don't seem to be able to buy a ticket on the bus itself, so you will need either to book ahead online (and hope the plane is on time since the ticket is for a specific bus) or you can buy a ticket from the tourist point right next to those exit doors, it is most obviously listed as doing hotel bookings but when you get close to the counter you will see the Ouibus/BlaBlaBus sign as well. You may have to queue at the desk though, so there is a slightly different gamble about timings.
That said, it has worked for us every time we have used it.

@marcellus, @DJL, @j b, Thanks for the info .. my gut says an hour is plenty of time if the flight lands on time but though I'd ask to be sure.
If the flight is late then we'll deal with it on the day .. but will book the 14:30 now online.
Cheers,
Brien

Just booked her ouibus transfer and noticed on the ticket pdf that it can be cancelled/exchanged up to 30 minutes prior to departure .. I think using the ouibus smartphone app.
So if the flight is going to be late and she uses the app it might save me 19 euros .. good to know.

Just be aware that locker space in the plane is limited and if she's not one of the first 70 onboard she may well have to put her hand luggage in the hold, which will then need to be picked up from the baggage belt meaning a delay. May be worth paying for priority boarding for that leg to ensure she gets to keep the hand luggage with her.

An hour is quite doable. If she has a backpack with straps it will not go in the hold as the straps will foul the conveyors. The pick up is directley outside the airport in the furthest lane away from the doors. It is often late if it gets caught up in traffic in Geneva .
