I don't know how much latitude mods will allow but I'd love to see threads for each of the destinations on one-day specific shared tips for each. Don't really want that on the country specific forums. Common sense says go somewhere you know well, but we'd like to try some places we're less familiar with. Some of them are places without any hotels I've fancied so shoe-horning into a day is great.
Geneva first I think.

G class? It's right here (but note that it's not supposed to earn anything if used for redemptions by avios.com)

Thanks ... thats great. Didn't know they were available on the standard site and I see that there seems a decent parking rate for T5 pod parking for Saturdays. £31.

(though it is useful if you come from another part of the UK with limited air service-even then, I would offer free car hire in exchange for a liability shift in case of accident and protection against theft in exchange for depreciation caused by the use of the vehicle.)

But still more expensive than a tube ride round trip

I agree.
We took a day trip to Geneva in March. Nice spring day, some lunch, a bit of shopping and 2,000 Avios and 20 TPs each.
If I did it again, I'd avoid Saturdays which is ski turnround day with hordes arriving and departing. GVA simply can't cope. Probably easier now as we approach May.
Holding my breath for ZRH ...

Poor FM will have come on the only day of the week when the weather was not nice!! 
Yesterday was splendid, tomorrow will be too, but today was cloudy with a bit of rain. I hope you had a lovely time nonetheless but you were definitely a bit unlucky weatherwise!

I've been to ZRH quite a few times and only for the day. Not really convinced it's worth a return trip, but it could be right for others.
