Lotnisko Chopina w WarszawieOctober 4, 2012Chopin Airport and Warsaw’s city centre are connected by a fast and convenient rail link. The train ride from the airport to the city centre takes around 25 minutes.

Nikita SokolskyApril 25, 2016Uber is available here. A ride from the airport is only ~30PLN. Otherwise there's a direct train for 5PLN. Both options are better than using the "official" taxis :)Upvoted 2 weeks ago
If you are waiting for a flight, go across the road and pop into the lobby of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel. Its a lot more comfortable, quieter and you can grab some decent food from the lobby bar.Upvoted 4 days ago
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍March 31, 2015Warsaw Chopin Airport wasn't unlike many other European airports I've been to. Although everything seemed minimalistic but well-organized and strictly functional in formUpvoted Dec 11, 2024
Ekaterina KalinaJanuary 21, 2015Great airport, tax free desk easy to find, no queues. Free wi fi everywhere and is working good!
To pass polish passport control quickly and smoothly, say "dzendobry" to the officer. Saying hello in any foreign language will make him/her "check" every page of your passport.
Michael SpinelliJuly 27, 2018Poland’s LOT airlines books some of the shortest connecting flights in the industry. Luckily, Chopin is small and passport check is usually efficient. Very little margin for error though.
Main airport in Poland. It's modern, not to small not too big and clean. You won't get lost here and can enjoy duty free shopping without any bounds!
Pavel KastenevichJune 6, 2017Free wifi, chargers, cool sits where you can lay and sleep for some hours, police control makes you feel secure, tasty restaurants
- JonasMarch 6, 2015Heading into town? Make use of the free airport wifi to call a taxi/Uber or to use Google Maps for transit directions. Bus 175 is headed for the city center / old town and cheap (4,4 złoty).
Zina PApril 20, 2019Being here for transfer only, but airport is clean, easy to find place for waiting. Easy to navigate
After the expansion now this airport rocks! Plenty of stores and services. Quite quick luggage pickup and designated smoking areas in the bldg! Like to fly from here, don't like to come back ;)
Ron JeramiahNovember 21, 2019Cool airport, easy to navigate and clean. Take a look around at the good shopping and pick yo self up sumtin coolio
Richard HylerstedtDecember 8, 2018Water fountain opposite gate 38 has tap that makes it easy to refill bottles.
Matija DjumicAugust 13, 2014Free wi fi, everything organized and clean - very cool airport. Downside: a bottle of water is around 4 dollars.
ChenthuFebruary 3, 2022Very quick security and a well stuffed lounge. Wide variety of alcohols incl. some rare collections. Uber is 1/4 the price of the official taxis.
If you want to get some sleep at the airport (or have a long layover) head to Relaxation area (close to gate 6&7). Open 24/7.
Jus TiMarch 26, 2018Not a big fan of Waw airport but sometimes forced to fly from there. Very often late. The last pro is that it’s well connected with all the other trains. So it’s easy to get there without a taxi
Largest airport in Poland. 11 km from the heart ot Warsaw - you land almost in the city:-) Take the city bus (tickets available on bus) or a taxi. Named after Chopin who was of polish origin.
👮🚗💸Leaving your car in front of the T2? Watch out for the police - starting SEP 2014 they're here even more often than before writing tickets to all who left their cars for more than just kiss&fly!
When you will take a flight with PLL LOT and theirs Dreamliner take your fav headphones - they will work with their sound system. Also USB "download" port can charge your mobile device.
Aga K.August 21, 201430min free Wi-Fi in the intl departures zone. Try to use ING or T-Mobile for domestic flights. If you need to charge your phone etc. then look for a socket below the windows.
Ibrahim AlomarJune 5, 2019If you have time don’t go the airport terminal, cross the road (walking distance) stay at the hotel and have a nice meal, the prices are reasonable.
In case you have long connection wait time, don't buy anything near the gate, better go to the lounge and pay ~40 USD - there you'll find all you need to make this time special.
Mate TothOctober 28, 2013An Emirates Boeing 777 and a lot of LOT Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner..;) Great place for a wide-body aircraft enthusiast! :-) (but it could be better at Frankfurt or Heathrow...:D )
Tony XerriAugust 1, 2021Their pre-packed food was super covid compliant and really delicious. Great beer + wine selection and the seats were comfy.
Sergey ZVNovember 26, 2013Free wi-fi by text message. You just have to add your name, flying and mobile numbers and agree with the rules. After this you take a login/password by sms, so go on :)
Non-Schengen area gets very crowded during the day. Not much space for anything, Food, drinks, etc
Steven AndrophyFebruary 15, 2015If you're connecting to a flight out of Schengen, try and wait as long as you can before you go through passport control: there isn't much in the way of concessions in the non-Schengen gates.
Charles Ryan TeoApril 2, 2019Fee wifi, but every 30 mins need to re- log in. Nothing much at air side. Just a couple of cafes. There are windows suitable for plane photography
A new smoking area vis a vis gate 43. Much better than small box. A new exit to town is also good, no need to walk a long distance when You arrive at gate 40ish
KubiJanuary 10, 2017Duty-free is small, food and beverage are expensive, count of lounge is limited. But, everyrhing is lovely in Poland.. i love Poland 😊
Warsaw airport .. Everybody knows how is it :) nice friendly for travelers port
Modern, passenger friendly, big, clean. 20min away from city center. Duty free area is big enough, food court is just fine.- Lotnisko Chopina w WarszawieOctober 4, 2012We recommend three taxi corporations: ELE SKY TAXI, SUPER TAXI and SAWA TAXI. The taxi fare from airport to the city center is approx. PLN 40.
Adam NowekOctober 2, 2015If you spend a lot of time here, you're probably on a layover with LOT for 4 to 9 hours. If it's the latter, then jet into the city for a bit because this airport is boring. Fast WiFi at the ING bench
Ken HarrisNovember 13, 2018Fancy a cold drink? Buy from the vending machines as it's only 5 zloty, duty free charges 9 zloty. Pay by cash or card
Made MahendraMay 12, 2013Due to airport reconstruction, the number of shops are limited so be prepared if you havent eat anything before flying. The best wifi located in ING internet area, you will find it aftersecurity check
Public bus fare is around €1 and you can go to the nearest subway station (Ursynów neighbourhood) or to city center (line 175).
M. B.September 7, 2018Make sure you make time for passport control AFTER duty free. Queue can be long and slow moving
Egemen Başar SarıbeySeptember 17, 2013Buy your cheap wodka from duty free.sit in Business Shark.Order an orange juice, mix with wodka.While u r getting high before flight enjoy free wifi ;)
Vladislav DzvabavaAugust 31, 2018Quick checks, speedy wifi, big variety of cafes. The only problem is that currently all the duty free stores are closed for a reconstruction.
The White HouseJune 3, 2014President Obama delivered remarks with President Bronislaw Komorowski of Poland following his arrival at Warsaw Chopin Airport. Read more
Fast security lines and good smoking corners .👌🏻 perfect connection with city center via public transportation.
Pretty easy to find your way around this airport. You don't have a feeling that it's too crowded and everything seems to be where you'd expect it to be. Free wifi.
A lot of shops, good restaurants - you won't be disappointed
Some border guards are quite rude to people from non-schengen areas. If any of border guards will read this tip: Please, be polite, greet with a smile, then people will like and embrace your country:)
