You could pay me to go there .
I fly into Gdansk about once a month, its a good place, nice beaches, nice beer, nice people, old town is worth a look (an old Hanseatic port, as is the Solidarity Museum)
If you are heading for Kaliningrad factor in Euro70 for a visa.
Flights from Stansted are ALWAYS chocka as well.
I am planning on going!
