 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've used Geneva many times ,usually it is calm and orderly midweek.
My question is how chaotic can it get on an average Sat morning?
My flight lands at 0955 and a transfer is booked for 10.30am ish.
Should we be able to get away quickly to Verbier in order to get an afternoons skiing in? I have never had a problem before.
If it is a Snowy transfer day is it usually bad getting up the hill or worse for those coming back to Geneva.

hedley, Scheduled or charter flight?
In my (limited) experience, they seem to deal with the baggage from charter flights whenever they have a few spare minutes between scheduled ones, so it could easily take more than the 35 minutes you have allowed to get your baggage if you are on a charter flight.

depends on the timing of the snow. If it's been heavy overnight and early in the morning it can be difficult getting out of resorts and down the road, but once cleared, will be easier later in the day for people arriving. And vice versa if it starts snowing later in the day. If it snows all day.....
Also depends on the day. I've breezed up at the end of the New Year week, with solid, stopped, traffic on the road down.
And finally, on whether there are any small skids/shunts/cars in the ditch needing to be pulled out by a tow truck parked obliquely across the road.
There's no possible way of knowing. I meet people at Geneva and am always pleasantly surprised how fast they come out (though they generally don't bring skis - the skis can be a while arriving, sometimes. But that's always on scheduled flights; no idea about charters.

Charter can sometimes go to a different terminal as well where they give you the special "charter service".

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We'll be arriving (hopefully) at 0855 on Saturday morning, with skis. I'm hoping to be skiing by 12 o'clock
