When I first flew SkyEurope about four years ago, I had no idea how big their network of cheap flights across Eastern Europe would become.
During my time in Bratislava, I became addicted to the SkyEurope website in my search for cheap flights from Bratislava to anywhere - the only criteria was it should be somewhere I hadn't been. Back then - I first flew SkyEurope in 2003 - the flight network was pretty limited, and I managed to take long weekend holidays in Paris, Venice and London using cheap flights from SkyEurope.
I wish I was still living in Bratislava, because now the network is really huge (and flights haven't got more expensive). While I was checking some facts for this week's article on Flying SkyEurope in Eastern Europe I got to see exactly how big the route map is now. I'd have a few dream holidays to take out of Bratislava now: a sunny stint to Varna or Bourgas in Bulgaria would be high on the list, as would a quick trip up to Copenhagen. I'm also impressed to see there are now a few direct flights out of the eastern Slovak city of Kosice. Things are continuing to look up for Eastern European travelers, and I think that's great!
