Or you can visit our Geneva Airport Transfers page and then select your resort to find more information about what we do and how to get from our stop to your final destination.

If your resort is not listed on that page, then we’re sorry but we can’t help you. This page of our website has some useful advice on destinations we do not service.

We can also help you with:

Le Bettaix – Book a transfer to Les Menuires.

Vallandry – Book a ticket to Bourg St Maurice and use the public buses or a private taxi to get to Vallandry.

La Tania - Book to Moutiers.

Landry ; Peisey-Nancroix ; Plan Peisey ; Les Coches – Book a ticket to Aime (or Moutiers or Bourg St Maurice) and then use the public buses or a private taxi to climb up to your resort. You can find some information recommendations about onward travel on our Aime page.

Plagne 2000 (Aime La Plagne): Plagne Villages – You could book a ticket to Plagne Centre and then use the public buses or a private taxi to climb up to your resort. If you do this, we recommend NOT arriving into the resort too late (so book a morning flight into Geneva) and NOT departing the resort too early (so book an afternoon flight from Geneva) as getting between resorts either late in the day or early in the morning could be difficult. You could also consider booking our bus to Aime, the town on the valley floor, and getting a taxi up the mountain.

To see our bus times from Geneva Airport, you need to enter your travel details into our booking form. Once you have selected your dates and flights, our site will propose some shared transfer bus times for you to choose from. Please read the below advice should your flight time not be listed.

Airport > Resort: My flight lands after the last time listed

We're sorry, but we cannot transport you. The following tips may help you:

-  Consider changing your flight to an earlier one.

- Arriving on a Friday / Saturday evening? Consider staying in a hotel at Geneva Airport and then take our morning bus the next day. You can select Hotel in our booking form.

- Going to La Plagne on a Sunday? Use our booking form to see if we have a later bus to Aime or Moutiers.

- Going to Les Arcs on a Sunday? Use our booking form to see if we have a later bus to Bourg St Maurice.

- You could book a Single to the town on the valley floor and then book another, separate, Single back from your resort.

- If none of these options work for you, consider using public transport or take a look at our alternative transport page.

Remember, you could book a Single with us one way and another Single with another transport company for the other part of your journey.

Resort > Airport: My flight leaves before the first time listed

We're sorry, but cannot help you and you will probably need to use public transport or book a private transfer or a hire car.

Remember, you could book a Single with us one way and another Single with another transport company for the other part of your journey.

Are There Toilets On The Bus?

Read more about Are There Toilets On The Bus?

We cannot guarantee there will be toilets on our vehicles - or if there are, that they will be working. Please make use of the facilities in resort or at the airport before boarding the bus.

If there is no toilet or it is not working, ask the driver to stop along the way as we do pass motorway service areas. To be extra sure, you could ask your rep to have a word with the driver before you leave to ensure he understands that you may need to stop en-route.

If you have a medical condition that may require you to use the toilet urgently, we would suggest looking at alternative transport options, since we cannot guarantee working toilets.

REASONS FOR TOILETS BEING OUT OF OPERATION

There are genuine reasons for toilets not being in operation. A lot of our buses park in the mountains overnight and the chemicals can freeze. Buses need special facilities to empty their toilets. If they over-fill, it's not pleasant! Our buses are sometimes used all day and so may not have the opportunity to visit these facilities.

EU Entry / Exit Scheme (EES)

Read more about EU Entry / Exit Scheme (EES)

The EU has fully implemented its new Entry/Exit Scheme. This is affecting nearly all non-EU citizens entering the Schengen area. There may be extra checks at the border entry point, where they will take biometric data from you. This will likely mean it will take longer than usual to clear Passport Control.

If you hold an EU Passport, this will not affect you. If you don't, it almost certainly will affect you.

Read our EES Blog Post for more information and advice about this.

What If I'm Flying Into One Airport But Out Of Another?

Read more about What If I'm Flying Into One Airport But Out Of Another?

If you're flying into one airport and out of another, then you cannot book a 'Return'. You would need to make 2 separate 'Single' bookings for each leg of the journey. This is standard practice in the travel industry and we cannot offer any discounts if you need to book 2 Singles.

If you are travelling to 1 resort but coming back from another, you would also need to make 2 separate 'Single' bookings.

We can't help with transfers between resorts. We'd advise either booking a taxi for that journey, or take a public bus down to the town on the valley floor (Moutiers, Aime, Bourg St Maurice or Bourg d'Oisans) and then another public bus to go back up.

What If I Am Arriving Into The Airport By Train Or By Bus?

Read more about What If I Am Arriving Into The Airport By Train Or By Bus?

If you're arriving into the airport by train or by bus from another city or country, that is no problem! You just need to find our rep at Geneva or find our rep at Lyon Airport.

When you book, you can select that you're arriving by train or bus, or if you are staying in a hotel. We will then know that you don't need so much time to get to our bus (as you won't need to clear passport control and baggage reclaim), so you'll be offered a better bus time.

We will also offer you a better bus time leaving the resort, since you won't need to be at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight departure time.

How Long Does The Journey Take?

Read more about How Long Does The Journey Take?

To see the average journey times to your ski resort destination, select your resort from this page of our website and scroll down. You will see the transfer times from all airports.

The times we give are approximations and obviously depend on the date, time of day, weather and traffic conditions. We allow more time when we know the traffic will be heavy. So the transfer time may be a lot longer than what is displayed on these pages.

Once you enter your flight details, we will show our bus times. They will include any extra journey time we, in our considerable experience, have given that transfer.

Do I Need To Confirm My Transfer?

Read more about Do I Need To Confirm My Transfer?

No, you do not need to confirm your transfer with Ben's Bus. We will assume you are travelling unless you cancel your booking.

We will email and / or send an SMS to the Lead Passenger should we need to change our bus times due to the weather or unforeseen traffic issues. Please do ensure you check those communication channels the day before you travel. If you are unsure, you can download the latest version of your e-ticket here.

We recommended you have your e-ticket available to view on your phone / tablet. This is because they contain links to important webpages, including to our page with our emergency phone numbers.

Do I Need To Print My E-ticket?

Read more about Do I Need To Print My E-ticket?

No, you do not need to print your eticket.

We recommended you have your e-ticket available to view on your phone / tablet. This is because they contain links to important webpages, including to our page with our emergency phone numbers. A printed version will therefore not allow you to view these phone numbers!

I'm Having Problems Paying! What Should I Do?

Read more about I'm Having Problems Paying! What Should I Do?

We're sorry if you're having problems paying. We hope this page provides a solution for you.

'Issuing Bank' : The bank that supplied the card to the 'Card Holder'.

 'Card Holder" : The person who puts their card details into the Payments Page.

TRANSACTION DECLINED!

The Issuing Bank has complete control over when a transaction is declined. We cannot do anything about this. You could either contact your bank or get someone else in the group to book.

Here are some common reasons for seeing a Declined Message:

- Card Number, Expiry Date or 3 Digit Code were entered incorrectly.

- Insufficient funds in the account.

- Foreign letters or Characters were entered as part of your Name, Mobile Number or Billing Address. Please only use alpha-numeric, Latin letters. Do not use characters such as - ' ! " ?

- International Dialling Code was entered at the start of your mobile phone number. This must only be entered by way of our drop-down! For instance, do not type 004407767.. Instead type 07767..

- Personal Details of 'Lead Passenger' do not match those of the 'Card Holder': The Passenger Details Page on our website takes information about the 'Lead Passenger'. To assist in fraud prevention, we send this information to the Issuing Bank. If the data you give us about the Lead Passenger does not match what the Issuing Bank has for the Card Holder, they may decline the transaction.

BOOKING A BUS FOR SOMEONE ELSE

If you are trying to book a bus for someone else and you enter their details as the Lead Passenger, the Issuing Bank could trigger a decline as those details will be different from you, the Card Holders' details. You could instead book for yourself (so enter your Name, Mobile Number, email address as the Lead Passenger) and then, once the booking has been confirmed, Log In to change the personal details to the person who is actually travelling. We do not charge anything for these types of changes.

NOPE! NONE OF THE ABOVE HELPS!

We're sorry if the above does not help you. You could try with another card or from another device. If you still encounter problems with multiple cards then please email ku.oc.subsneb@aveneg and provide the following information, and we'll look into it for you:

- The time and date you were attempting to pay

- The name of the card holder

- If possible a screenshot of the error you receive and any other relevant information
