11 hours daytime connection at GVA
Hello,
I have a semi-ridiculous 11 hours daytime connection at GVA coming up soon, from LX23 to LX3796, land at 9:20 am and leave at 8:10pm... Usually, on a ''normal'' daytime connection, I wouldn't see my bag at all, but I'm wondering if this one is just too long and they will not want to hang on to my bag for all this time.
If it is tagged thru to TXL at JFK, can I leave the airport in GVA without worrying about the bag at all, or should I stick around the carrousel anyway just in case it does come out?
TIA

I have done this before, even on a longer connection, you will be fine checking your bags through to your final destination and not worring about them. I even did this overnight once.

To get into town or around you can take advantage of the free travel card (valid 80 minutes).
GBM
With effect from January 2008, you can pick up a free ticket for public transport from the machine in the baggage collection area at the Arrival level. This Unireso ticket, offered by Genve Aroport, allows you to use public transport in Geneva free for a period of 80 minutes.

No problem for the baggage, they will keep it in transit.
In fact, if you were originating from GVA, you can check your baggage in up to 24 hours prior to your flight.
