...of strong Jewish connections of Krakow as well as proximity of Auschwitz). In the British Isles, apart from London, you can fly to Krakow from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol and Dublin. The number of passengers serviced by Balice has doubled between 2004 and 2005, with half of them being now carried by low-cost airlines (Ryanair, easyJet and SkyEurope are the ones that serve the British Isles) and London having the ... ...You can fly to Krakow for pretty much the cost of the taxes/charges with Ryanair (plus, of course, the price of getting to the airport in the UK and/or parking there). **Transport links** As we have been driven to the airport by a kind family member from Bielsko-Biala, I didn't have a chance to test the public transport connections to the city of Krakow, but the airport website informed me that there is two buses that serve Balice, taking about 40 ...

...routes are opening up from Krakow particularly with the budget airlines. Airlines that fly direct to the UK now include Ryanair, Easyjet, Sky Europe, Central Wings and British Airways. Its not just to the London airports that they fly either but to Glasgow, Manchester and soon to Liverpool, Edinburgh, Bristol and Birmingham.
If you need to exchange money then this can be done at the airport but be aware that the rates are not as good as you can ... ...Last time I flew into Krakow they were still working on building on a new or extended terminal this is needed due to the massive increase of passenger traffic which has almost trebbled since 2003!

I feel though that things will change as the passenger numbers continue to grow.
Whatever happens you'll enjoy your stay ...

Advantages: small but nice Disadvantages: not much to do in the airport
This airport, named after the Pope, is less Communist looking than the Warsaw-Chopin airport. I like it because you can reach it easily with two different buses, one of them goes directly to the city center and the main train station.
Shops are disappointing, because it's a small airport and only provides the very basics, such as food and some alcohol and cigarettes. If you plan to kill time at the airport, please bring a book or something. There ... ...relatively infrequent, so don't even think about watching airplanes taking off/landing here.
Check-in area is relatively small and it's very easy to find your way around. Despite the size, the airport has international flights as far as to America, so if you don't understand Polish you will still be fine here.
Overall, a small airport but has all the elements an international airport requires. ...

I've been traveling threw this airport twice in 2005. It's very small and over crowded. Sometimes to get somewhere I have to squeeze between people. It's got nice country side and is situated outside Krakow
Three years ago it was just a concrete and one building but now is got two terminals and about 3.5 million people coming threw.
You can find there post office, bank, ...
