The X4 bus from Donny Interchange is half-hourly, takes 22 minutes and is rarely very busy.

Most other people park at the airport, relatively cheap I believe; or get a private...

Travelex offer really good online rates, so I used to order money to be picked up at the airport, whether or not I was travelling from there and avoided courier fees/waiting for delivery. Oh well!

Well I suppose it's the use it or lose it thing. Thomson have endured, despite or possibly because of people complaining it's dearer from DSA than surrounding airports. Wizz certainly seem to like it.

Interesting. Perhaps they have researched that Slovakian migrants are from the east of that country, or perhaps they feel Bratislava is already over served.
