Geneva airport is warning that from tomorrow it's going to be very busy.

The Christmas rush will start as people start to head away.

There could be as many as 58,000 passengers a day. 

Management says it has got the staff in place to cope with the numbers. 

But it does warn weather and strikes in other countries could cause problems and you should check the status of your flight before heading to the airport.  

It also advises using online check in and baggage drop services as much as possible.
