Leaving Geneva on EasyJet
The morning we left was bitterly cold, down to zero degrees celsius. There was snow not the mountains, the first snow fall for the season. We had to leave our residence at 8:30 to catch 3 buses to Geneva Airport. Boy was it cold!
When we arrived at the airport we endured a long line to get through customs, about half an hour. Then we got inside the terminal to find out we had to go the French Sector of the airport. This meant going through security all over again! Essentially we wasted half an hour in the Swiss sector of the airport.
Arriving in Orly Airport Paris was easy. We went outside and organised a Uber, which cost 35 Euros to get to the Eiffel Tower. Our wonderful AirBnB was only about 5 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower.
Bus vs Train vs Plane Comparison
We booked our flight only the day before flying, so we missed the savings possible by booking in advance.
The way I like to compare bus vs train vs flight is using the GoEuro website. This website compares cost and duration to give you enough information to make an informed decision on the best way to go.
Train was our preferred option, the trip from Geneva to Paris is just 3 hours duration. However the return cost for 3 people was 600 Euros.
Bus was our least preferred option, especially when we discovered it is over 8 hours duration.
Flying was the big surprise, it came in at just over half price of the train, for a 1:10 hour direct flight on Easyjet. Luggage was one carry-on per passenger, however no weight restrictions applied. This suited us just fine.
What’s the Best Way from Geneva to Paris?
Train is a great option if you have big bags, but you probably want to research cheap tickets and book in advance. Flying is a great option if you are travelling lightly, and are lucky enough to find some cheap flights. We had an easy and comfortable trip all in all, exactly 6 hours door to door.
Total cost in Euros: 155 each way for the flight (3 people), 13 for Geneva bus fares, 35 for Paris Uber. Total 203 Euros to get 3 people from Geneva to Paris at short notice. Not bad, we reckon.
