As I’m sure your’re aware…
LBA-KRK currently 2 weekly with Jet2, goes 3 weekly mid-March and 4 weekly from the summer timetable.
NCL-KRK currently 2 weekly and going to 3 weekly from the summer timetable.I would imagine they’d look to increase those services before adding a WAW service from either airport.
I don’t agree. It’s 4 hours by road between Krakow and Warsaw so what they do with KRK has no bearing on what they do with WAW. The fact is if they want a slice of the migrant workforce commuting back and forth from the Warsaw area, they need to offer a service from WAW. They obviously thought this, but chose the wrong UK airport given Wizz have already grabbed the market for poles heading into the North West. I also think they will not be increasing NCL-KRK for a while now that Easyjet are competing on the route.

LBA-WAW or NCL-WAW would be much better bets considering Yorks and the North East has only a 3 x weekly Wizzair to MME

But low cost, long haul travel does exist.
For example OASiS hongkong(but they prefer not to be called an LCC). We also have MAXjet and Eos from the States flying currently to The UK with Low Cost buisness class. In the other direction to the states from here we now have Silverjet. Also starting long hauls are GSM to canada and some other destinations. So it could well happen at some point.

No, probably not. They are a low-cost airline. For quick and frequent services around the EU
But low cost, long haul travel does exist, so it’s something we shouldn’t rule out. At the moment though, even if it were to happen, it’s got to be years away yet.

MAN-LGW definitely axed as well.
Not surprised about WAW to be honest, it’s not exactly a ‘city break’ destination for the UK market in the same way as say Krakow. And with the Polish migrant workforce well served for getting back into the North West UK with an impressive low-cost selection out of LPL – I’m not really sure why Jet2 ever went for this.
LBA-WAW or NCL-WAW would be much better bets considering Yorks and the North East has only a 3 x weekly Wizzair to MME (and that doesn’t start until well into next year)
