I'll probably be on a 6am flight from STN, landing in GVA at 08:45.

I wouldn't count on having much spare time -- the traffic can be a
*bitch* on the way back into Geneva. I'm probably not brave enough to
book the 12:55 return flight, so I think I'll go for 18:35 on Saturday
12th.

In past years, Jes has hired a van and driven a bunch of people from
Geneva. May well make sense to do that again.
