Got back on saturday from Geneva. A very hot and clear sunny day!

Managed to grab a spot of breakfast in a packed Flounge.
Took the 08.20 flight that was delayed due to offloading someone's luggage, i slept through most of it anyhows.
Arriving at Geneva, read the advice given here and picked up a free train ticket at the end of carousel 5.
The tricky part was finding the train into the town centre but i grabbed one on platform 3 which took around 5mins.
If you are doing a bit of walking near the joncion i popped into small ice cream parlour called Glacier ArtyGlaces. They do amazing ice cream!! the zing on their sorbet is astounding!
Due to the weather i couldn't handle too much walking and called it quits around 4pm and headed back.
My sweaty boarding pass wouldn't let me into the security fast lane but traffic was surprisingly quick anyway.
Used my Priority pass to relax in the Swiss business lounge and take advantage of even more ice cream, taking one for the flight too was perfect as i looked out the window saying goodbye to Geneva.

Ticket cost £58 + 3k avios. Great day out and no hayfever attacks.
