This past July I flew LOT directly from Chicago to Krakow at a price of around $1200. It was my first European trip and I used a travel agent for booking.
I'd like to return to Poland in September of 2007 - I think the prices are a bit cheaper at that time. I'd also like to book the flight(s) myself so I'd appreciate suggestions on ways to minimize the flight cost even more...what other European cities could I fly to and get a connector flight into Poland.
Yes, the airline tickets in September are a little cheaper than June-August, but not that much. If you're in Chicago I think you won't be able to get a whole lot better price; I would suggest regular sites like priceline.com or orbitz.com and take a flight to one of the European cities (eg. Munch or Kopenhagen) and from there connect to Poland -- these sites allow you to do it "automatically" if you select you want 1-2 stops.
I know that many Poles in Chicago buy tickets from Chicago to Poland via Polamer (I think it's polamertravel.com).
Skyscanner is the site as mentioned. Here you will find every bargain available. Anyone wanted good quality guest house accomodation with an English breakfast let me know. Fireside:)
thats funny I get all my cheapo flights from skyscanner
thats funny because I just went on and they flight form glasgow to Krakow and it came up with ryan air they also fligh to Wroclaw from Prestwick with KLM
I always fly into Frankfurt. I also get the best deals using Lufthansa, but you have to book early and it's usually cheap off season. I'm flying there fir the new year and it's costing me $720
Are you using a MAC ? Or a non standard browser. Skyscanner does have problems if you step away from Explorer. I am sure that Skyscanner does inlcude scans of Lufthansa but concentrates on Europe I believe. Berlin is always cheap to fly to
Continental flies Newark to Cologne, Germany for a good rate. A short train ride to Dortman will get you an Easyjet flight to Krakow. It may not be the most convenient but may be the cheapest way to get there.
i can get cheap promo flights from wizzair to gdansk .. katowice .. poznan and wroclaw (latter two from february 2008) from the airport an hour away from my house so i am cool :)
me and my daughter can fly to wroclaw for example: 1 Adult @ 0.49 GBP 0.49 GBP 1 Child @ 0.49 GBP 0.49 GBP Taxes / Fees [details] 37.60 GBP Price excluding payment handling fee 38.58 GBP
Gee guys you paid through the nose......return to Gdansk from Belfast with easyjet.........
wait for it.........
4p total...incl taxes!!!!
It wasn't advertised on their website and they seemed only to be available for a few days til they were snapped up...see my rational behind creating "sticky" threads!!!!
If the city of your destination is in Western in Poland then you may want to consider flights to Berlin, and then a train from there to one of Polish cities. It's faster (and cheaper) tan flying to Warsaw.
And it woulda bin cheaper if they hadda served a deportation order on me ...and made it a one way flight!!!.........2 p.....!!....what a bonus for Poland!!!
Ryanair have some good deals from London to Krakow and other cities at present. they are 1p plus tax. Average price is around £35 return if you travel on certain days and off peak times.
The list may well be endless.......and we should include full fare.....rob you blind...Aer Lingus and British Airways as they do some value for money fares too!!

Airmiles flights for BA. Got zillions of the things. Only problem now is the taxes add up to more than the total cost of the budget boys. Only consolation is that I can sit up the front of the plane. Good idea for this one being sticky Frank
