easyJet out of Geneva? Fast new security desks - read this!

Came home through Geneva yesterday and was surprised (and impressed) at the alternative security checks.

Anyone who's flown out of Geneva will, no doubt, be familiar with the mahoosive snake/queue for security that needs to be negotiated after you've checked in.

There's now an additional option for easyJet customers; once you've dropped your bags, head round to the right behind the check-in queues as before BUT do a left - at the back of the hall - through some double doors, across a small courtyard and into a (presumably) new set of 5 or 6 security gates and X-ray belt thingies.

There is a sign, comprising a stick with a picture of a departing aeroplane, but it's not that obvious (especially when busy) and we would have walked straight past if I'd not stopped to ask one of the staff if there was a queue for security.

There was no queue, at all, at the new desks and that's certainly the fastest I've ever got through to air-side at Geneva.


Not sure when this was implemented, or if it's permanent, as it's not (yet?) mentioned on easyJet's own airport guide at http://www.easyjet.com/en/cheap-flights/switzerland/geneva/airport-gva but it's there for now and really useful!
