The World's Largest Plane over Poland

Against a bright blue backdrop, an Emirates A380 (the world's largest plane) jets past over Toruń...on its way to Dubai. Would love to have a flight on this!

Return to Poland

The plane mainly full of Poles heading back home.

Didn't realise that kid on the right was spying on me until later!! :-)

My plane back to Poland -complete with special Polish Tourism logo. Not sure why they had to check the left engine immediately after landing though!!

Flew back to Poland last week on board LOT Polish Airlines. Nice new Embraer jet but a very costly trip as was forced to buy a last minute ticket as my original booking had been cancelled - long story!.

On the plus side TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO is now back and will continue to put up some new photos and posts all about our favourite Polish city!

Bon Voyage from Toruń's Closest Airport!

Extreme close-up!

These images were taken at Bydgoszcz Airport which is the closest International airport to Toruń. It used to be a military base and is hidden within a forest. There used to be a lot more flights from here but sadly many of the routes have been withdrawn. You can still fly Ryanair to London Stansted, Birmingham, Dublin and Dusseldorf. LOT Polish Airlines offers domestic flights to Warsaw.

It's fitting that we have these images today. As very soon TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO will be jetting off once again for the summer (amazing how this year has gone by already!). We will be back again in early September.

Have a fantastic summer!

Flying High!

Flying high above Toruń's old walled city. These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago by one of my students Ola Muszytowska. She was lucky enough to be taken up in a plane...and even luckier as it was during the volcanic ash chaos. Though of course as it was a light plane and flying much lower, everything was okay!

Clear Blue Skies...and Not a 747 in Sight!!

Poland lies bang on the long-haul international flight path and the skies are usually criss-crossed with white vapour trails. Not for the past few days that is. The skies were erriely quiet as volcanic ash from Iceland continues to wreak havoc to air travel around the world.
