Banking capital and ski gateway, with a handful of true long-haul nonstops.
Geneva (GVA) punches above its weight — private banking and the UN keep midweek cabins full — but its long-haul map is short. Most intercontinental journeys connect via a European hub, with SWISS funnelling traffic over Zurich; the true nonstops are few: SWISS from New York-JFK, United from Newark, Emirates from Dubai and Qatar Airways from Doha.
The other Geneva is the ski gateway, an hour or two from Chamonix, Verbier and Megève. From December through March, winter Saturdays are the year's busiest slots, and dates touching school holidays or the Christmas–New Year fortnight sell premium cabins well ahead.

Ski season runs December through March, sharpest over Christmas–New Year and February half-term, when Saturday arrivals and the U.S. nonstops fill first — book 3–5 months ahead. Watches and Wonders and spring conferences firm up midweek fares with little notice. The soft spots are May–June and September–November, when 6–8 weeks of lead time is enough.
