    Ryanair has just recently started flying there from Belfast so I seen it in the press but in fairness I was for booking Warsaw 1st and the only flight back on the day I needed was 6.50am. **** that.

    Looks like a nice city and as Mick said, cheap as a darkie hoor in Magaluf (so I'm told)

    Handy enough to get into town from the airport? Probably won't be dirt cheap for that long a la Prague which started out dirt cheap.

    Super city. The airport and transport links are excellent.

    Treat yourself to some pork dumplings from one of the cafes on Long Street. Delicious.

    Waiting for invite via PM but still nothing yet. Will be looking to rescind the LYT's invite for an Irish Battalion if it isn't forthcoming.

    Pretty much everything is cheap: swally, snout, food, transport etc. Big brand items such as trainers, video games and electronics hold their price across Europe, though.

    I stayed at the Hotel Qubus, which cost about £100 per night, but you can find places for as little as £15 per night if you don't mind hostels and 2* places.

    The Poles who have stayed to build up their country absolutely despise the youngsters who have gone to the richer countries in search of work. The lack of manpower has led to waves of Ukrainian immigration, and the two nationalities don't always hit it off.

    You'll have a great time in Gdansk. Despite the reputation, Polish people are welcoming, polite and extremely grateful for the tourism trade.
