People should not be put off visiting Poland, it reminds me of the Americans canceling plans after 7/7.
I should have thought that perhaps the planned cancellation of Jet2 services from UK may have as much to do with the potential for Poland perhaps requisitioning tourist accommodation to house Ukrainian refugees as much as any immediate fears regarding the Ukrainian crisis spilling over into Poland.
Other carriers such as Ryanair and Wizz may enjoy a greater proportion of their revenue coming from VFR passengers.
