It's been mentioned that people not residents of Switzerland have been removed from Geneva bound flights recently.
Other than that it's as clear as mud at the moment.

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

People have been blocked this morning from boarding a flight to GVA to visit friends in Morzine. I’d say transit is off unless you are an EU/ French resident.

Is there any proof of this? Im due to travel to Geneva in a couple of days. Supposed to be staying in CH but could reroute to FR if transit is allowed.

@tomb, EU resident is officially allowed, so I’d be surprised if they’re being removed.

I dont know Nadenoodle and Im not insulting her by asking for proof but a lot of mis-information and anecdotal "evidence" is presented as fact in times like this when there is a lack of clarity.
Has this happened to her personally? Someone she knows? Something she has read on Twitter etc?

Iv spoken with Easyjet and they dont have this information. There is a lot of info out there that is based on hearsay and assumptions hence trying (desperately) for some clarity.

Just heard that friends booked to go to Geneva (skiing in France) tomorrow have rescheduled flight to Lyon instead as if they were to go to Geneva they would have to have had a PCR test and self isolate there for 10 days.

From the Gov website - You are eligible to enter Switzerland for any travel purpose if you are fully vaccinated and can show adequate proof (detailed below). From 27 November 2021, in addition to the requirements below, you must show a negative COVID-19 test result and self-quarantine for 10 days. More detail will follow as the Swiss Government make further announcements.

@NewSkiingDad, good luck!

Does anyone have any information re transit only rules, please? I know a negative PCR test is required pre flight.

@skilegs,
Morzine resident Friend at Edinburgh airport now was only allowed to board flight to GVA with her French residency. Transit is off unless you fulfil the requirements @telford_mike, states above. I don’t think even the border police etc are clear!

@Nadenoodlee, I was denied boarding in August because my vaccination papers "didn't look right" ...

I feel very sorry for people with holiday plans, and businesses in the Alps. What a shitty weekend.

Makes transfers to the Portes Du Soleil far less convenient if people change destination airports and that's before you consider how busy Chambery and Lyon get on Saturday and Sundays without people going to that area to begin with.

What about transit from France to fly to the U.K. from Geneva?
It’s less than 10 days since I was in U.K. so what happens?

We are heading to Flaine via GVA on 12th Dec. (Very) Hopefully things will have settled down a bit by then. Would the option of exiting GVA on the French side be too simple?

For Covid purposes, the french side is still Switzerland, so no, unfortunately.

That may be the official status but those EzJet Mellon Farmers refused Mrs WoC to board the Bristol flight today, despite her being a resident of a schengen state returning to her country of residence.
They would only re-book her on a flight to France, so I have just had to go to GVA to recover the car from the car park (without a ticket), and tomorrow night i will have a 5-6 hr round trip to Lyon getting back about 2AM.
Wnakers.

And this is all because Switzerland are banning all countries that have detected the Omicron variant?
What will happen when Switzerland start to show cases (as surely will happen)
