No snow in Gda?sk till today, but in the airport of Gdansk, which experiences more “continental” climate it was white around when I was boarding my first flight to Warsaw. Little, turbo-prop airplane was half-empty. People do not travel, even in their own country… But there is a in-flight service: they offer sweet bun, waffer and a bottle of mineral water! In Warsaw I was waiting more than an hour for the connection to Kiev. My backpack was heavier then 8 kg allowed but nobody took care. On little embraer jet it took us 1,5 hour to reach Kiev KBP airport. Transit desk near the gate will not check you in for the charter flight – you have to go to the mmain hall!
How about pandemic restrictions? Ukraine is open for tourists, but you have to declare where you will stay and you have to show the insurance paper. Oops! I managed to convince young immigration officer that it does not apply to the transiting person like me.
Main departure hall was nicely decorated for Christmas (orthodox’s celebrate their Christmas in January). Airport hotel is closed due pandemic. So now I have to wait in the hall till midnight to check-in. Fortunately there are not much passengers waiting. Good night from Ukraine!
