Flights to Poland – Frequently Asked Questions
+ How do I get to Poland with Condor?
Condor flights to Poland include a stopover in Frankfurt. The long-haul portion from the U.S. to Frankfurt is operated by Condor’s A330neo with full-service amenities. You’ll then transfer to a short-haul flight to destinations like Warsaw (WAW), Kraków (KRK), or Gdańsk (GDN).
+ Do I need a visa to enter Poland?
U.S. citizens do not need a visa to travel to Poland for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days. As a Schengen country, border control takes place in Frankfurt before continuing to Poland.
+ When is the best time to visit Poland?
Spring (April–June) and fall (September–October) are great times to visit Poland. These seasons offer fewer crowds and pleasant weather for exploring cities, countryside, and historical sites. Winters can be cold, but are popular for visiting Christmas markets and ski areas in the south.
+ What inflight services are available on flights to Poland?
On the U.S.–Frankfurt segment, Condor provides meals, beverages, and inflight entertainment. Business Class offers lie-flat seats and premium dining. The onward short-haul flight to Poland typically includes basic or buy-on-board service depending on aircraft and carrier. Learn more about onboard meals.
+ What language is spoken in Poland?
Polish is the official language in Poland. English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and major cities. In smaller towns or rural areas, it’s helpful to know a few basic Polish phrases or use a translation app.
+ Can I bring skis or outdoor gear on my Condor flight to Poland?
Yes, Condor allows you to check sports equipment such as skis or snowboards on flights to Poland. One item up to 66 lb (30 kg) is included for free in Business Class or with an Activity Card. Equipment must be registered at least 8 hours before departure.
+ What kind of electrical outlets are used in Poland?
Poland uses type E electrical outlets with a standard voltage of 230 V. U.S. travelers will need a plug adapter and possibly a voltage converter. Dual-voltage devices like laptops and phone chargers generally work with just an adapter.
+ Is Poland a card-friendly country?
Yes, credit and debit cards are widely accepted in Poland, especially in cities and tourist areas. Contactless payments are common, and mobile payment apps like Google Pay and Apple Pay are increasingly supported. It’s still useful to carry some cash (Polish złoty) for local markets or small cafés.
+ Is tipping expected in Poland?
Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory. In restaurants, a 10–15% tip is typical for good service. It’s also customary to tip hotel staff, taxi drivers, and tour guides. Some restaurants include service charges, so it’s worth checking your bill first.
