I meet the morning flights in from Geneva, here's what I'd tell you
It's a short hop, a little under two hours, and most of you are over for a day of meetings. Swiss comes into Heathrow Terminal 2, British Airways into Terminal 5, and if the City is where you're headed there are flights straight into London City. I'll have watched the flight from the moment it left Geneva, board up past customs, and if it runs late I run late with it. You don't pay for the wait.
The flights, plainly
Small things worth knowing
- London is one hour behind Geneva, so the early flight lands you here with the morning still ahead.
- Fares are fixed and I'll quote them in francs or pounds. Swiss cards are fine, no cash needed.
- Since April 2025 you'll need a UK ETA to come over, £20 on the official app, approved in a day. Sort it before you fly.
How you'll find me
Swiss comes into Heathrow Terminal 2 and British Airways into Terminal 5, and I'll be at the barrier in the right one the moment you're through, your name on a board. If you've taken the London City flight, I'm in that arrivals hall instead, a short walk from the door. I'll have your flight on my phone, so I'm there when you land, not when you call.
How the fare works
The price is fixed before you fly and it does not move: not for a delayed flight, not for traffic, not for the time I wait at the barrier. I'll quote it in francs or pounds the moment you tell me the flight and where you're headed. Card or account, nothing to settle in the car.
What Geneva clients actually book me for
Mostly business, and often the discreet sort: a morning with the private banks and family offices, the car kept on and the diary kept quiet; meetings in the City or Mayfair held to time; and now and then a quieter trip, dinners to reach and a weekend that needs no fuss. Tell me the shape of the day and I'll keep the car where you need it.
Before you book
London City or Heathrow, which is better?
If your meeting is with the banks in the City or at Canary Wharf, London City lands you closest and clears quickly. Heathrow suits Mayfair and anywhere to the west. Tell me where you're headed and I'll say honestly which flight saves you time.
Can you keep it discreet?
Yes, and Geneva clients often ask for it. A quiet meeting point if you'd rather no board, a driver who keeps the diary and the conversation to himself, and a car that draws no attention. It's no trouble.
What if my flight is late?
I track it. If the flight slips, I slip with it and I'm at the barrier when you come through. The fixed fare covers the wait, so a late flight costs you nothing extra.
What car will I get?
A Mercedes S-Class for one or two travelling light, the V-Class if there are more of you or the bags need the room. Tell me the numbers and I'll send the right one.
