Climate & When To Go
Flights ( 5 nights, Thursday => Tuesday )
Travel Help recommends you to use www.reseguiden.se when you are planning your flights for a long-weekend in Europe. Use the +/- 3 days menu and fetch all flight costs. Some costs for weekend departures are missing which seems to be a program error. Most likely you want to travel before Saturday and Sunday and in such a case this error has minor importance. An overview of all costs for different departure and return dates immediately gives you information about which travel dates you should avoid due to high flight costs. You also get an indication of which travel dates have the lowest costs, especially if some low cost air companies only fly on some week days.
The example below was for 2012 and the search was done on 2012-02-23 for flights from Gothenburg. Book your flights as early as possible to get the lowest prices. You should book your flights before Christmas if you want the absolute best flight prices for the next year.
Flight (Wizz Air) on Thursday: Gothenburg/City Airport 21:25 => Warsaw/Okecie 23:00
Flight (Wizz Air) on Tuesday: Warsaw/Okecie 19:15 => Gothenburg/City Airport 20:55
The price in this example is 598 SEK on 2012-02-23 for flights in July.
We checked the flight price for May 2011 in the end of November 2010 but it had started to increase so you have to book earlier. Why not book as soon as possible, namely one year in advance. The price for one-way ticket was then probably at most 199 SEK plus the below additional costs for 2011.
150 SEK for one checked-in bag each way
50 SEK booking cost each way
You have to add 400 SEK to the first cost displayed by Wizz Air.
You have to add an extra 50 SEK each way if you check in at the airport instead of on the webb.
The member information contains further information on how you get the absolute lowest flight prices!

Transfer between airport and hostel
Bus: Airport => Corner of Marszalkowska St. and Aleje Jerozolimskie ( ? SEK )
Walk: Corner of Marszalkowska St. and Aleje Jerozolimskie => Oki-Doki Hostel
Walk through the underground passage and walk one bus-stop along Marszalkowska St. to Swietokrzyska St.or take any tramway in the direction of 'Zoliborz', go just one stop, and get off at the next tram stop: Metro Swietokrzyska.
The Hostel is located on the right hand
side of the street, just behind the cinema 'Bajka'. From now follow the steps
as from the McDonalds.
When you reach the street, you will see a
McDonalds at the intersection of Marszalkowska and Swietokrzyska. Cross
Marszalkowska street, turn left, cross the lights. Continue up Marszalkowska
(50 metres)and take the first street on the right (Rysia) which leads you into
a courtyard (with an Italian Embassy). This is the correct square. Look up and
you see a neon sign with our name. We are the first building on a square (not
the street) to the right with a bank on a ground floor and a second Oki doki
neon on a top.
