Hallo! To begin, than you to all the kind people who take the time to post very helpful information on this site. My question today is: If travel time via train Wengen to Geneva airport is approximately 4 hrs., would a 6:00 departure from Wengen be feasible to allow enough time for a 14:00 flight departure in Geneva? We know the trains are prompt & reliable, but how long should be allowed to transfer to airport and through security?

I’m getting a 10.39 arrival at Genève Aéroport for a 06.05 departure from Wengen. That’s ample time. Geneva is a comparitively small airport.

I was through security in about 4.5 minutes last week.

Thank you, 1960man! I appreciate your input, as it will save a night’s hotel in Geneva for fear of missing a flight.

Hi Cjwebs,

You can plan out all your trips with the Swiss railways timetable so you can see exact schedules and trip duration. https://www.myswissalp s.com/timetable

Yes, thank you, Lucas. I saw the train schedule, but I was more concerned about the time needed for transfer to airport & security, barring any irregularities. 1960man posted that the Geneva Airport is comparatively small, & going through security should not be lengthy. Thanks to both of you!

I see that I didn’t explain something well. By transfer to airport I meant after arriving Geneva. Sorry, my bad.

Check out the online Swiss timetable.

There is an option to prepare a “personal timetable”.

You can get it to prepare a timetable specially for you. Check the “whole day” option. Then you’ll get EVERY service from “first to last”.

Take a minute or two and you can download the result as a .pdf file

So when you arrive at Geneva airport you’ll know when the next service operates. Takes a lot of stress out of aiming to get a particularly train. Especially should there be flight or airport delays.

This site has an amazing array of suggestions and links. I’m sure you’ll find everything you need.

Enjoy your travels!
