I recently wrote about the new routes between London and Eastern Europe and subsequently I received some rather exciting news from Wizz Air. The first Ukrainian low-cost airline is moving its operations from Kiev Borispol to Kiev Zhuliani, as of 27th March. The move will make a huge difference to passengers as this airport is located just eight kilometres from the city centre and is conveniently served by public transport. The new airport will also be more efficient, allowing Wizz Air to continue offering truly affordable fares.
I think there has probably never been a better excuse to book a trip to Kiev!
Having had the pleasure of visiting Kiev a year or two back I couldn’t agree more.
The city is fabulous but the one low point was the cost of transportation to our apartment. This will obviously bring that cost right down.
P.S. I assume you’ve seen that it likes one or two of Easyjet, Ryanair or Wizzair should shortly be flying to Montenegro from London. Negotiations in progress apparently.
Yes, lots more flight announcements coming up! Is a very exciting time. Clearly the demand for cheaper travel is driving airlines to create more routes to Eastern Europe. I just hope it doesn’t suffer at the hands of travel en masse.
Booked a trip to Kiev in July with Wizz – looks a great City and really looking forward to the trip.
Do you know if there are any plans for Wizz to fly from London to Sarajevo?
Hi Tony,
Not that I know of. However, if you are interested in visiting Sarajevo I can highly recommend flying to Dubrovnik and then taking a bus (or driving if you are happy to brave the roads yourself). The bus is a real adventure and Sarajevo is a great city. Personally I’d fly to Dubrovnik, stay for a day or two (if you are interested), take the bus to Mostar (takes a few hours) which is one of the prettiest places on earth (as well as being cheap, I stayed in a really nice pension for £4 a night!), then take a bus to Sarajevo for a couple of days. Then head back to Croatia to fly home. Train from Sarajevo isn’t bad but buses tend to be best. Also, none of the places are very big so doing a a bit of a tour ensures you don’t get bored.
