By air to Poland
To get to Poland, we recommend flying to Warsaw. Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) connects to most major 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), 40 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) and several other destinations across Europe.
