I'd need to print my OLCI boarding card for my connecting flight ex JFK (non *A), but I can't do this before getting to the airport. Is there a possibility to print this at any of the LX lounges in GVA? Or is there an business center at the airport, and if yes, where is it?

There are no printers in the LX lounges and no business center airside. Why not just have it printed at the gate?

the transfer desk can do this for you, but only if the flight is already 'open' (usually open means a flight leaving in less than 24 hours)

Well, as my connecting flight is with JetBlue, I doubt that either the gate or the transfer desk would print the BC for me. That's why I was looking for a possibility to print it off a pdf file from my laptop (or a net-connected computer). Tough luck then :(

JetBlue don't fly to GVA. What's your itinerary?

Assume Jet2? If so, the link provided to the (landside) facilities by choijw may be worth it.

If you forget to check-in on-line prior to your departure, are unable to print your boarding card or lose your boarding card prior to arrival at check in you will be charged an administration fee on checking-in at the airport currently 17.50GBP/22EUR/540CZK/90PLN/30CHF. If you experience problems printing your boarding card or checking-in on-line, then please contact our Call Centre.

I think it's GVA-JFK on Swiss 22 and then JFK-somewhere in US on JetBlue. But I don't know why this is important as Swiss goes into T4 in JFK and JetBlue is at T5 in JFK so the OP has to get from T4 to T5 (and pass the automated check-in counters)....

Yes, that makes sense when re-reading the OP, who mentions a connecting flight ex-JFK.

In that case, the landside business center would be ok, alternatively the question should be asked about printing facilities before coming to GVA, or at JFK even.

JetBlue interline with a lot of *A airlines, though not LX, however it might be worth checking with LX at GVA anyhow.

Just to clarify, OP needs to get to T5 using JFK Airtrain (only JetBlue uses this terminal, no one else). Once OP gets off the Airtrain at T5, after a little bit of a walk, there are numerous automated machines for check-in. Also, if OP goes downstairs, there are even more automated machines along with baggage dropoff. The terminal has free wifi. I think there is no reason to OLCI... it's not Southwest.

I think there is no reason to OLCI... it's not Southwest.The scenario is correct. The only reason I wanted to have my BC printed before arriving to JFK is that I've had to wait so many times at a american airports's immigration booths to enter the USA that I want to minimize any time "lost" on the way to my connection: A few weeks ago, with more than three hours between arrival (on time) and departure I almost missed my AMTRAK train at EWR waiting for 160 minutes to get admitted (my personal record). I literally jumped in as the doors were closing. I would have had to wait for two hours , in addition to paying extra for missing a train, etc.! Thus, the business center is the idea: Thanks a lot, I couldn't find it in their pages.

End of the story: breezed in 20 min through immigration, more than enough time to print my BC on one of the machines in terminal 5, and still waiting for my connection.
