What gap is that, earthman?
Sky Europe stopped flying WAW-AMS, so there is currently no LCC flying between WAW and Holland. The only sensible route is to fly from Krakow to AMS, but that flight leaves at 6:30a.m., so one would probably need to spend the night in Krakow. The other option is to fly WizzAir from WAW to CRL or Cologne (or Dortmund, from December). The last option is probably to fly through STN but when one of your flights gets cancelled you could either be stuck at STN or lose your 'connecting' flight, I would not do it.

On the two occasions I flew the AMS-WAW route with SkyEurope, the plane was not very full, and they also cut back their initial daily flights to three times a week, so I'm just not so sure how popular that route is. (In spite of busloads of people going back and forth, and both KLM and LOT flying three daily flights each.)

Interesting :) although it is a secret :), could you tell when an announcement will be made, will it be like weeks, or months or not earlier than the introduction of the 2006 summer schedule?

Thanks!!

AMS - So far Wizz have kept to smaller airports like CRL and HHN apart from in their home countries. Then again Holland doesnt have any airports like that near to AMS that dont have slot restrictions

hmm...I was really hoping for ams-waw :( :) but more competition on the ams-krk/ktw is of course certainly a good thing.... !
TBSC.. since you work at wizzair, any chance for a warsaw-amsterdam service soon :)... or is it too crowded there already with LOT and KLM....?
