๐ข Terminal Information
Geneva Airport operates from a single main terminal building divided into multiple piers (East, West, and satellite) connected by underground moving walkways and shuttle trains. The terminal serves over 17 million passengers annually with clear separation between Schengen and Non-Schengen areas post-security. The main building features three levels: Level 0 for arrivals, Level 1 for departures check-in, and Level 2 for boarding gates and passenger amenities. Walking times vary significantly: check-in to closest gates 5-10 minutes, to satellite gates via shuttle train 15-20 minutes, maximum gate-to-gate connections 25-30 minutes. Security processing typically takes 15-30 minutes with longer queues during morning and evening peaks. Immigration for non-EU/EFTA passengers adds 10-35 minutes depending on season and flight volumes. The airport features extensive shopping and dining post-security including duty-free, Swiss brands, restaurants, and airline lounges. Ground transportation includes direct train connections to Geneva city center (6 minutes) and frequent bus services. Free public transport tickets are available at machines in the arrivals area for onward travel in Geneva.
