A really modern airport. Despite the fact that it isn't a major international airport and is a low-cost airline hub, the airport has plenty of facilities and is well designed and organised. You can pass through arrivals really quickly, as there is just the passport gates - the luggage carousel is after and then you can immediately leave the airport. We had a problem with our luggage on arrival (somebody accidentally took one of our cases), and the airport staff had it sorted fully in half an hour!

In departures, security is very swift - probably the best I've ever been through - it's right next to the main entrance hall and duty free is immediately after, which is stress free and really quick.

Departures is compact yet has quite a few shops, and carries the same modern design as the rest of the airport. There is a Virgin Store, some souvenir shops and quite a few cafes - some are quite expensive, but others aren't. Boarding the plane is fuss free, as you just go up to a passport desk to access the seats next to the gates - that way, you just need to show your boarding pass at the gate and you're good to go. This makes boarding easy and quick.

The only possible fault would be the lack of transport links directly to Wroclaw. The only bus that you can catch is 106 - otherwise you'll have to take a taxi or hire a car to access other areas of the city directly. Car hire appears easy to obtain though, and bus 106 was perfect for us.
