Carry-on luggage is the items you will take with you into the cabin. Weight norm hand luggage can vary from 5 to 10 kg, and its size most often should not exceed the sum of three dimensions (length, width and height) from 115 to 203 cm (depending on the airline). A handbag is not considered hand luggage and is carried freely.
The bag you take with you on the plane should not contain knives, scissors, medicines, aerosols, or cosmetics. Alcohol from duty stores free can only be transported in sealed bags.
How to pay for luggage at the airport
If the weight of luggage exceeds the standards established by the airline (most often 20-23 kg), you need to pay for each kilogram of excess. In addition, many Russian and foreign airlines, as well as low-cost airlines, have tariffs that do not include free transportation baggage and must be paid separately as an additional service.
In this case, luggage must be checked in at the airport at a separate Drop-off check-in counter. If you are unable to print boarding pass, you can get it at the regular airline check-in counter, and check in and drop off your luggage there.

What to do if your flight is canceled

It is believed that airports determine the status of a country, and the more there are, the higher the status. This also allows us to characterize the state in terms of tourist attractiveness, investment, and interest in it from other countries. Taking into account all these factors, it can be argued that Poland is a very popular and visited country, since twelve air terminals of international importance are located on its territory. As a result, business is actively developing in the country, various international projects, cooperation with the EU.
Not all of the twelve airports are equal in importance and in the number of passengers. The most big airport is Warsaw Okęcie, and the youngest is Lublin, which has just begun to actively develop.
History of the air services market
In Poland, the construction of airports began at the beginning of the 20th century, but at that time the airfields received exclusively military aircraft. Civil air travel was practically undeveloped, and only very wealthy people could purchase the coveted ticket for a winged aircraft. Many airports were improved during the First and then the Second World Wars. This was necessary to create air bases and warehouses with food and ammunition. Infrastructure development meant the construction of roads and runways, weather stations, and terminals.
Reconstruction and expansion
Significant changes in the air services market occurred with the advent of capitalism. The transition to a “market economy” required the development of all spheres of life, including aviation. Therefore, airports began to expand and increase in quantity. During the same period, two forms of ownership of air terminals were established - public and private. This contributed to the rapid development of industry and the construction of international terminals.
At the beginning of 2000, the Polish government adopted a state program for the development of airports, which included the reconstruction, repair and restoration of buildings and runways. As part of the program, military bases were closed in cities such as Szczecin, Lodz, Gdansk, Bygdoszcz, Wroclaw, Modlin and others. The country's central airport in Warsaw, called Okęcie, began to gradually expand. In addition to government assistance, the following factors had a significant influence.
Firstly, private companies entering the market. Secondly, the abolition of the monopoly on the air travel and air transportation market. Thirdly, the creation of joint stock companies in certain cities in order to revive the airline business. Fourthly, the emergence of low-cost airlines, both national and European, Asian, and Turkish.
Fifthly, an increase in the number of people who began to use the services of companies, preferring to travel not by trains or buses, but by plane.
Sixth, Poland's accession to the European Union has attracted additional investment in the air services market. In particular, such large low-cost airlines as Wizz Air (Hungary), RyanAir (Ireland), Austrian Airlines (Austria), Finair (Finland), Turkish Airlines(Türkiye). Many companies, considering geographical location Poland, sought to open bases for their aircraft here. This has become an additional source of income for airports and the country’s budget
It is this market segment that has become decisive in the development of airports in Poland. Since the Poles, when joining the EU, did not have much high level income per capita. Therefore, they constantly left to work in other countries. Those who decided to travel around Europe or the world began to actively use international flights.
Seventh, strong ties have been established between the cities, thanks to the creation of modern aviation infrastructure.
Eighth, the implementation of charter flights through the reception of international or European companies, as well as the development of our own market.
A new stage in the history of airports was the country’s victory in the competition to host the European Championship in 2012. Then, together with Ukraine, Poland got a chance to host a serious football championship, which promised to attract additional investment to the country, expand the geography of tourism and popularize the country in the world.
The government of the country made the most of the opportunity. The country's air gate in Warsaw received a new international terminal, receiving several million passengers a year. The same terminals appeared in other cities, even in such small ones as Szczecin, Wroclaw, Bygdoszcz, Olsztyn, Rzeszow or Przemysl.
Airports
It is located in the Voivodeship called Kuyavian-Pomeranian, located in the north of the country. The most major cities, the population of which uses the services of the airport are Torun and Bygdoszcz. The location for the airfield was chosen precisely in the latter, which is explained by the presence military base aircraft and runway. The air gates of the north are named after the famous Polish pianist I.Ya. Paderewski. From the airport to the city center it is only three and a half kilometers, so public transport runs here regularly. The intervals between buses are about half an hour, although you only have to travel a few kilometers.

Built in order to partially relieve passenger traffic at the country's main airport, Okęcie. It is located only forty kilometers from the center of the state capital. Charters and budget airlines are redirected here, but this absolutely did not save the Warsaw air terminal. After Euro 2012, the number of tourists increases every year, as do those who use low-cost airlines to fly for business, study or work. In addition, the number of vacationers who try to fly charters is constantly increasing. This helps to fly to such distant countries as Tunisia, Egypt, Israel.
