By air to Poland
To get to Poland, we recommend taking a plane to Warsaw. The Frederyk Chopin Airport (Okęcie Airport WAW) has connections with most of the big airports across Europe. The other airport is Warsaw-Modlin Airport (WMI), where Ryanair operates.
Alternatively, one may take a flight to Lublin Airport (LUZ), but it offers only a limited number of regular connections. Lublin Airport is located only 10 km east of Lublin.
