    I dont think there are any direct flights from Geneva to Socotra. (Sorry, just kidding.) Yemenia flies there 1, 2 or 3 times a week depending on the season (usually 2 times). You can board any flight in Sana'a which then makes a stop in either Al-Mukallah (Ar-Rayyan) or in Aden. (You could also board in Mukallah or Aden if you wanted to.) Good flights from Europe include those of Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines. You may also consider Yemenia (from Paris or Rome), Egyptair or Jordanian. Other options include: Gulf, Emirated, Qatar. With Turkish Airlines a return trip from Europe through Istanbul to Sana'a can be had for about 600 Euros. The return flight on Yemenia to Socotra will be in the order of USD 200.
