What about Trains going into Poland?  Or have you only traveled by plane?
I am going to Poland in December and plan to take the train there from
Germany.

... but keep in mind that the 400 speed film that you are planning to push
will actually end up as 800 or 1600 speed film.  I made a label to put on
the bags that says "Professional High Speed Film To Be Pushed on
Development"  I usually have to explain what that means.  Unlike Ted, I
have had film ruined by x-ray machines.  To see what it looks like, scroll
to the bottom of this page:

The machines in Russia, Poland, Iraq, Jordan, Turkey, Morocco, and Iran
cannot be trusted.  In fact, I wouldn't even stand anywhere near them!  I
carry a heavy lead-lined bag to those countries because they will not allow

you to pass the film around either.
