I have to say that however much I like the almost eerie emptiness and the plush mother and baby room at Gdansk airport, Krakow-Balice, although nothing special, seemed to be one of the nicer small airports I had a chance to use. **Connections** I was surprised by the number of airlines, flights and destinations that operate from there.
