And the 43rd Ryanair base will be….  Wroclaw, Poland!

The airline already flies 15 routes from Wroclaw, but made the announcement yesterday that it will be basing a Boeing 737-800 aircraft at the airport from Summer 2012, and also opening 6 new routes.

These are:
- Bournemouth, UK

- Malmö, Sweden
- Malta
- Paris Beauvais, France
- Venice Treviso, Italy

Warsaw has become an easy low-cost getaway from many countries in Europe – particularly with airlines such as Wizz Air and Ryanair offering low fares.

Warsaw’s Frederic Chopin Airport is very spotter friendly if you stay within the allocated areas. It’s terminal building has an open air observation deck which gives views over the parking apron and runways. Reports state that most movements can be seen from here.

All visitors are subject to a meticulous security check on entering the observation deck.

Ticket price:
standard PLN 3,00
reduced PLN 2,00

Opening hours:
6.30 until 20.30

(Warsaw is covered in my new book – Airport Spotting Guides: Europe. Out soon!)
