Travel / Modlin airport in Poland - closed again! [28]
Be warned -especially if you are travelling with children! Modlin has experienced severe fog in the last two months. As a frequent traveller between London and Warsaw I have now stopped booking and using Modlin because of the very frequent fog delays. In the last few weeks Modlin arriving and departing flights have been diverted to Okęcie because of severe fog problems. Today is no exception - flights diverted to Warsaw 'proper'.
Low cost carriers treat passengers in a really bad way during delayed flights and taking a train out to Modlin to then be taken by coach to WAW Okecie is not the ideal way of travelling 'low cost', especially if you live in central Warsaw. I've now cancelled my Wizzair bookings for November.
Has the Polish press reported on what really is a bit of a PR disaster for Wizzair and Ryanair? One-off fog is one thing, but the location of Modlin airport = a winter of problems.
If you do get caught in the mess, take some provisions as Wizzair and Ryanair provide almost no assistance.
