Mostly this flights go within europe and and some times do not offer drink on their flights as you may be asked to pay for even a bottle of water , so goes as far as asking for you to pay for hand bags and extra bags, so be aware of this also. but not to say they simply very cheaper compared to fly than big airlines that we are we know with in Europe, the start price for the tickets starts mostly min $30- $150 depending on when you book , always smart and better to book 3 weeks or 2 weeks before your intended date of flight so as to get cheap tickets.
Accommodation
It all depends on country you are going to visit, this will determine the price and cost of hotel or hostel that one intends to stay but based on my own experience i will recommend

The first choice of all tourists is Kraków, which is one of the oldest cities in Poland.
Krakow. Far from my favourite city in Poland, but an absolute must, as it is the de facto historical/cultural capital, while Warsaw is the political/financial capital, and the difference is obvious. The Old Town, its market place, the Wawel Castle, the Kazimierz district (former Jewish area) and areas around the river are the obvious places to go. Krakow is easily walkable, but trams run everywhere worth going. As above.Plenty of bars/clubs/restaurants/museums to cater for every taste,
Second choice choice of showing to a foreigner would be Wroclaw - beautiful, climatic, cosmopolitan but still with Polish character.
There is a place called Ostrów Tumski which is on an island in the middle of the city (and is a headquarters of bishop) and every night lanterns are lit by a person lighting them one after another. Perfect town for a romantic weekend. It is a university city so follow students to find the nicest restaurants and pubs (kluby).
One suggestion is this:
Gdansk. Largest city of the "tri-city" area of Gdansk/Gdynia/Sopot. Has the strangest atmosphere of all the cities I've visited in Poland, due to its obvious German influence (which affects the way that people look as well - I've never seen so many German-looking Polish speakers before :) ). It's no wonder the Germans want the place back, because it's a lovely town. I wish we could swap it for Liverpool, but I digress... :_
Bus 210 takes 30mins to central Gdansk and costs 2.50 PLN (0.60 EUR). Public transport doesn't directly cross the main city centre, but runs to a ring-road around it. The bus drops you off at the main railway station. All the main attractions are 5-15 mins walk from here.
Things to do: Well, other than the obvious restaurants/bars/cafes etc you could head straight for Dlugi Targ, which is where many of the city's nicest buildings are. Walk along the river, take a boat ride along the river to the Westerplatte. Visit Sopot or Gdynia if you like beaches/seaside towns. Find the "monument to the fallen shipyard workers" outside the Gdansk Shipyard entrance, if you're into things which are a bit more political.
The above would probably need 1-2 full days.
Train to Warsaw, stopping off at Malbork to see the castle (the inter-city line runs this way). Arrive in Warsaw. If you decide you'd rather not spend more than a day here, do this: Leave the Central Station and catch the 175 bus towards the terminus (currently Plac Pilsudskiego, but can change according to roadworks), which is 5 minutes walk from the Old Town. this bus also takes you to the airport if necessary (see below). Ticket costs about the same as a ticket in Gdansk does.
You should save at least a few hours for this area, as it's really nice, but on the bus and as in any tourist area, watch out for pickpockets. You may wish to visit the Royal Castle, which is next to the Old Town Square. Then walk along the main street from the Old Town (Krakowskie Przedmiescie) which is a very upmarket and beautiful old street, filled with cafes, bars, lovely old buildings, expensive hotels, and eventually leads to the University.
Carry along this street and eventually you will reach Nowy Swiat, which is where all the beautiful young people hang out (so why I spend so much time there is beyond me, because I am neither beautiful or young, but I dress better than 98% of Poles, so maybe I fit in, lol). From the end of this street, you can catch the same bus (175) towards the Central Station, stopping off to see the Palace Of Culture and the new London/New York-style skyline which is springing up around it. Under the railway/metro stations are kilometres of subways, which contain small shops bars and cafes, which cater for every need, and are one of the last remaining examples of "old-style" Poland in the central business district - see if before it all gets demolished/refurbished in a few years time. You have been warned ;)
This is enough for one day, but there is plenty more to see if you wanted to stay longer. The problem with Warsaw is that everything is spread out, so you either have to travel by bus/tram/metro, or walk long distances. It's also very ugly in between the nice bits, full of grey Brutalist commie architecture, and this is why it isn't a first choice for first-time visitors. But having lived in London for many years, it doesn't bother me too much, but if you come from a small town/village, it must be a big shock :) Watch out for the drunks/beggars anywhere in the centre, but mainly around the central station. Be polite, but firm. They are unlikely to become violent unless abused, but are very annoying and increasing in number.
Wroclaw. The train journey averages about 6 hours, and flying in Poland is often not expensive. All of Poland's major cities are about 1 hour by plane. Bus from the airport into town cost 4.50 PLN . Apart from the Old Town and its market place, visit the cathedral and Ostrow Tumski (river island), and walk by the river. Plenty of old churches and museums/galleries to visit. I don't know the city particularly well, but I've been there quite a few times, and found the people to be the friendliest in Poland - you can have a really good laugh with people round there, which isn't really something you can say about Warsaw - people are far too serious/overworked/stressed-out up there.
There are also many ways to also travel from poland to other eastern european countries, if most people do not mind the time www.polskibus.com with internet available on the bus , and very cheap price starting from 1zlote ,booking online with credit card,also you have eurolines which is also cheap, most of these companies travel within poland and very cheap, but long hours in the bus , but worth trying it out as it is vaccation no need in rushing.
