There are some technical challenges, let’s hope they can sort them out.
Krakow (the final W is pronounced like V) is the “fun city” in Poland. Its huge central square is full of people milling about after dark, and the cafes surrounding the square are full of people watching the square full of people. If you purchase a coffee, beer or other beverage you can sit there for hours without being bothered by the waitstaff, unlike in the United States.
Very similar to the new “Icelandair Buddies” program being tested in Reykjavik, KLM is trying out a program where passengers with a layover of 6 or more hours at AMSterdam can be paired up with a local resident and enjoy a free drink in the city.
Could the Layover With a Local program lead to some romantic meetings and eventually marriages? We will have to wait and see.
Carriers include KLM, Aer Lingus, Jetairfly, Norwegian Air, and WOW Air. There are some very inexpensive trans-Atlantic fares available right now.
WOW flights route through Iceland, which can be a nice stopover. Note that some of these airlines tack on extra fees for things like checked luggage, etc.
