Flights..

Depending upon where you choose to fly from you can book low cost flights to Geneva;

Here's a good tip when thinking about low cost flights! Many airlines offer low cost flights either early or late in the day or night. However, unless you are hiring a car from the airport accessing us via an airport transfer company becomes difficult and expensive outside normal hours and public transport is near impossible. Try and plan your flights to arrive sometime between 09.00 - 19.00 hrs!
