Just returned from a great trip to Podlasie in Poland via Modlin. Only let down was the appalling airport. The Schengen departure gate is tiny with approx. 25 seats for what could be 189 passengers. Then 15 minutes before boarding and before the plane has even touched down, passengers are led out to a "holding pen" area and have to stand to wait there in the cold. I don't expect luxury padded seats or wall-to-wall cafes but I've been in much smaller airports that are infinitely more hospitable.
