My OH and me are definitely in for the Do and Post-Do, not sure yet about the Pre-Do. Booked in the Hôtel Résidence du Boulevard.
I might consider joining those inbound from LHR if there is a party flight, but I appreciate this might be difficult to organise since there are so many flights into GVA.
Looking forward to this!

since I usually fly at least 4x every fortnight on the LHR-GVA route this could be my first FT Meetup!!
Even though I'm a newbie in the community I'd like to express my interest
would really like to put a face on some of you! Will try to involve the OH but she already visited me once during one of my trips and she didn't like it at all
Will keep you updated
- on a personal note -
at least now I know why the prices for those days will go crazy high...
