Prestwick launches £20 flights to Poland

NEW budget flights from Prestwick Airport to Poland were launched today.

One-way fares will be as low as £20, including taxes.

Direct flights to the capital city of Warsaw and the new Polish place-to-be - hip seaside town Gdansk - will be available for the first time.

It's a major coup for the Ayrshire airport and is the first move into Scotland by Budapest-based Wizz Air.

Flights to Warsaw and the ancient northern town of Gdansk - where the Solidarity movement was born in the shipyards - will begin on March 28.

Gdansk is tipped to take over from Krakow as the new Eastern European holiday hotspot.

It's a stylish, artistic town with cobbled streets, fine restaurants and trendy bars.

Wizz Air - which flies to 27 destinations across Europe - currently operates from Liverpool and Luton airports.

It's the biggest low-cost airline in central and eastern Europe and its move into Scotland could open up a new network of travel opportunities for Scots.
