LOT Polish adds Manchester-Krakow flights

A new thrice-weekly service between Manchester and Krakow in Poland has been added by LOT Polish Airlines.

The flights have been introduced as part of a codeshare agreement with Centralwings, which will operate the service while LOT Polish will add the flights to its ticketing network.

Meanwhile, the airline's flights from Manchester and Dublin to Warsaw, which operate four times a week, have resumed service as a result of the codeshare agreement.

"Our passengers will be able to travel on the routes operated recently by Centralwings without having to change planes," commented Karolina Stanislawska, board member and commercial director at LOT Polish.

Krakow is located southern Poland. Its castle and cathedral are among the most popular points of interest for visitors, as are the Old City district and Kazimierz, the former Jewish district in which tens of thousands of Holocaust victims died during World War II and which is now undergoing something of a cultural renaissance.
