An airport delivery is a timed handover, not simply an address. Geneva Airport (GVA) at Cointrin sits on the Franco-Swiss border about 5 km north-west of the city, and the useful request includes enough information to adapt when the flight, the baggage process or the terminal details change.
Supply the flight number when relevant
The flight number provides context for arrival time and delay monitoring, but it does not replace direct communication. Keep the supplied telephone switched on and available after landing — a missed call at arrivals is the single most common cause of a delayed handover.
Describe passengers and luggage
A vehicle that seats the group may not hold the same group’s luggage. Include large cases, ski equipment, golf bags, child seats and any mobility requirements, and state the passenger count honestly: four adults plus four full-size cases rarely fit a four-seat sports car, and oversized items can change which vehicle is suitable at all.
Know which terminal and side
Geneva Airport has a Swiss and a French side, and arrivals can exit into either depending on the flight. Confirm the side and terminal in the request so the meeting point is unambiguous, and the same applies to other airports on your return.
Confirm the exact meeting method
Airport access rules and meeting points can change, and direct kerbside stopping is often restricted. The final response should state who contacts whom, the meeting area, expected identification and any waiting or delay conditions, including what happens if the flight lands much later than planned.
