WIZZ Air are introducing new flights that will make it easier for Brits travelling to Poland on a budget.

The cost-friendly airline have announced that starting in June 205, they will launch fours flights a week from London Gatwick to Wroclaw in Poland.

The new route from London Gatwick to Wroclaw will start on Tuesday 17 June with fares starting from just £26.99 – and tickets are already on sale.

It’s not their first London to Wroclaw route as they already fly out of Luton.

They have said the additional Gatwick services will not affect the route from Luton.

Wroclaw is Poland’s fourth-largest city and is known for its colourful Market Square, which is the second largest in Poland.

According to the Climates To Travel website, Wroclaw’s climate is ‘continental’, with average highs of 25C in the summer months.

You’ll find one of the oldest city inns of Europe called the Piwnica Świdnicka, where you can enjoy classic Polish dishes and beer.

People who have dined there said it’s “a real find” in the city and another added on TripAdvisor that it’s the “most fantastic place to eat in Wroclaw”.

It’s also a city where you will find almost 1,000 dwarf statues.

The tiny sculptures are scattered all over Wroclaw and you can find in a scavenger hunt or simply pass by on a day trip.

Other attractions you can visit is the botanical garden, Hydropolis which is a modern exhibition dedicated to water, and Kolejkowo, one of the largest railway model museums in the world.

The city is also just a short distance away from Dresden, Prague and Kraków and so it can easily be looped in with more than one trip.

If you’ve bought bottled water from Trader Joe’s, you’ll want to be aware of a recent recall published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). That’s because the recall involves water in glass bottles that present a laceration risk. In total, about 61,500 bottles are included in the recall. Here’s what you need to know.

What is being recalled?

The recall involves select lots of Gerolsteiner brand sparkling water sold at Trader Joe’s. The water was manufactured by Gerolsteiner Brunnen GmbH & Co. KG in Germany.

Here are the details of the recalled product:

• Product name: Gerolsteiner 750ml Sparkling Water Bottles
• Lot numbers: 11/28/2024 L or 11/27/2024 L

According to the CPSC notice, the recalled units were sold individually for about $3 per bottle and also sold in cases of 15 bottles. Around 61,500 bottles are thought to be impacted.

The large glass bottles can be identified by the white, blue, and red label with the name “Gerolsteiner” on the front of it. The lot number of the bottle can be viewed on the lower part of the label.

According to a separate notice on the Gerolsteiner website, the best-before dates on the products are December 2027.

Why is the bottled water being recalled?

The reason for the bottled water recall doesn’t have to do with the water itself. Instead the recall has been issued because there is a defect with the glass water bottle the sparkling water comes in.

That bottle can crack, leading to a laceration hazard. While there is a risk to individuals handling the recalled bottles, the CPSC says that so far, no incidents or injuries have been reported.

Where and when were the recalled bottled waters sold?

The recalled bottled waters were sold at Trader Joe’s stores in 12 states between December 2024 and January 2025. Individual bottles retailed for about $3.

The 12 states where the bottled water was sold are:

• Alabama
• Arkansas
• Colorado
• Florida
• Georgia
• Kansas
• Louisiana
• New Mexico
• Oklahoma
• South Carolina
• Tennessee
• Texas

What do I do if I have the recalled bottled water?

If you have the recalled bottled water, you should immediately stop using the bottles, says the CPSC. Instead, you should return the bottles to their place of purchase.

The CPSC notice notes that you will not need to have your proof of purchase but that the bottle of the product is required in order to receive a refund, which may be in the form of credit or cash.
