13th to 17th March 2025
There are 15 people flying from Edinburgh Airport on the Thursday afternoon, we still need to sort out arrangements from Troon.
Thursday flight is a 16:10 deaprture, so leaving Troon at midday for a 14:00 airport arrival.
Everyone is responsible for their own Check-in, and Boarding Passes!
Thursday flight - arrival is around 19:00 French time (+1 hour), with arrival at the hotel to be confirmed but likely 2.5 hours on the bus.
To date it has taken us about 1 hour to get through Passport checks, and collect luggage at Geneva.
