Warsaw Chopin Airport offers a modern and busy gateway for your journey from Poland’s capital. To start your travel smoothly, we advise you to allow at least one and a half to two hours before departure for check-in and security procedures, as security is very tight.

Accessing the airport is simple. Buses offer the main public transport link from central Warsaw, including Warsaw Central Station and the Old Town. You will find taxis plentiful, and for convenience, you can pre-book through your hotel concierge; remember to only use licensed services.
Once inside the terminal, you will find excellent facilities. Passengers can enjoy free wireless internet access for up to 30 minutes in the main terminal, or for up to four hours if you are using one of the three Executive lounges for first and business class travellers. The food court offers a great selection of Polish dishes, coffee, and pastries, alongside more substantial restaurant meals. You can browse retail outlets including Duty Free, souvenir vendors and luxury goods before your flight. The airport is also fully wheelchair accessible, with specially trained personnel available to assist disabled travellers upon request, ensuring a pleasant start to your travels.
Basra is a truly vibrant and historic Iraqi port city. It's strategically located on the Shatt al-Arab waterway, which is formed by the convergence of the legendary Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This unique geography has often earned it the nickname the 'Venice of the East', due to its intricate system of canals and long history as a major commercial centre.
The city merges ancient culture with contemporary sophistication, and its roots date back to the 7th century. To immerse yourself in its deep past, visit the Basra Museum, which showcases a compelling collection of artefacts from the Mesopotamian civilisation.
For a taste of local life, explore the old bazaars, which bustle with traders selling regional spices, textiles, and Basra's world-renowned fresh dates. You can also experience the city's modern heartbeat during an evening walk along the lively Basra Corniche, a scenic waterfront promenade.
