By air to Poland
To get to Poland, we recommend taking a plane to Warsaw. The Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) connects with most big European airports and offers many intercontinental flights.
Alternatively, one may take a flight to regional airports which offer only a limited number of regular connections:
– Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI), 50 km north of Warsaw, where Ryanair offers numerous connections.
– Lublin Airport (LUZ) is only 10 km east of Lublin. It offers flights to Warsaw (WAW), Gdansk (GDN), London (LTN), Dublin (DUB), Rome (FCO), Barcelona (GRO), and Milan (BGY).
– Kraków Airport (KRA) offers many international connections.
