Tom Chesshyre is on a mission: to visit a dozen destinations that he can’t spell, can’t pronounce and wouldn’t have heard of if low-fare airlines didn’t fly to them. Places like Szczecin, Poprad-Zakopane, Kaunas, Paderborn, Haugesund, Brno and Tampere. Squeezing into his no-frills seat, he enters a hidden world of ex-Solidarity leaders and ultra-cheap dentists in Poland; minus 50 degree Celcius ice-rooms in Slovakia; stag parties and Skype in Estonia. Along the way he learns about the ‘New Europe’, the collapse of the Iron Curtain, the expansion of the European union—plus the fun you can have on a 1p flight.
