Warsaw Airport

I was traveling to Warsaw and after passing through passport control I was confronted by a man in green army fatigues. He stated in Polish "come with me" and led me to an escalator where we went down to the baggage area. When we were in a secluded area he touched my bum and said, in English, "You have a nice backside. Please let me have your dirty panties." I noticed then that he smelled of alcohol, tobacco, and body odor. I ran toward a group of travelers and got away.

Why not put in a good large enough diagram of each floor of the terminal? So people coming in can arrange to meet others in the airport?

Many thanks in advance.

I had a nice stay in Warsaw Courtyard Marriott. It very near the Airport.

Totally possible to take a look around the city in the time you have. Get a texi to the old town and have a look around and some food, walk from the old town south to Nowy Swiat. Have a look at the cultural tower and maybe Marszalkowska street and Plac Konstytucji and then head back to the airport.

Hey! I have 8 hours between flights at Warsaw airport, is it possible to get out and check out the city in a few hours or is it totally impossible?

When I was at the Warsaw airport a gentleman from customs asked me, "Have you lost your kitty?" And then, quickly, he added, "Because I have her." I was then detained overnight in a cell.

I am travelling from Warsaw airport to Lodz can anyone tell me how comfortable the Polski express buses are, aircon? Also is it possible to book seats (I am in UK) and what are the approximate prices? Many thanks.

There is a new bus terminal at Chopin Airport in Warsaw since May 30 2010 with 21 bus stops. Can anyone tell me where I can find the towns/cities that the buses go to? The airport website has no details. I need to go to Pultusk and wonder whether buses now go directly from the airport. Thanks

I lost a "pencil" bag that had my cell phone, email addresses and reading glasses at the warsaw airport. Somewhere between the two check points and boarding for the connecting flight. Where is the lost and found located? On my flight home would like to see if anyone turned it in.

Is there a day room available at the airport for use while waiting for an outbound flight?

i have an 8 hr stopover in warsaw. shud i leave the airport or is it to time consumming and not worthwhile?

Yep, the airport is safe. The city is too far away to go there and be back for your flight. I would just stay at the airport if I were you.

Hi, could anyone tell me how is Warsaw aiport in the evening? I´ll have to spend the night there( waiting for another plane). Or the city, is it safe? Thank you!

Wow! The guy below from the States doesnt have a clue about prices???? The price of a bus ticket in Warsaw is "Peanuts" compared to Canada. $1 in Poland and about $4.50 in Ontario, Canada. They are robbing us blind over here and it only is getting worse?

can somebody tell me,please, is it possible to leave car in warsaw airport? how much could it cost?

hey petrulian - i think your best option will be bus... i think the Dworzec Wschodni (East Station) is the one you'll need to go to

Wich is the best way to go from Warsaw to Mikolajki (Mazuria region) , after 16:00 (04:00 p.m.)? There are some buses? Where is their departure point ? Is this depsrture bus station near Central Railway Sation, or not ?

As mentioned by other posters leaving Warsaw via the airport is a nightmare. Passport control on leaving is worse than passport control on entering. There are huge lines, Security is also gate based and people get in line for later flights causing people on earlier flights problems. There's only one scanner per security line and it just takes very long. I've also found the lines to get taxis out of the airport extremely long. Something needs to be done with airport, which is now becoming really busy but is woefully inadequate.

Alex, this site is great for finding flights: http://whichbudget.com/

Hi - please can you tell me the best way to get from Warsaw to Berlin? If flying - which is the best airline to book with? How long does the train take? Many thanks.

Ganta, the best way is either to fly Wizz or Norwegian from Stockholm to Warsaw.

Hello, I am planing to travel to Warsaw by next month from Stockholm , sweden any one can tell me the best way

My advice is to take Ryanair or one of the other budget carriers to one of the other Polish cities and take the train to Warsaw. It's a lot easier than dealing with the Warsaw airport.

Which is best time in the year to visite Warsaw?I dont like winter!

Don't worry about the airport being busy unless you're leaving from Etuida (all low cost apart from centralwings). I lived in Poland for seven years and left in February. Terminal 2 departures is now open which will make terminal 1 much less crowded.

can anyone tell me if there is a left luggage office in the center of warsaw? And is it open on sundays?

I have traveled to and from Poland several times coming in is ok. Leaving is another story, make sure you get there and plan to wait bunched in and crowded. The airport is very very small and the number of travlers is great as well as the number of airlines there.

I have travelled to warsaw and found nothing wrong with airport, the only thing was i had to wait like maybe 15 min go tru passport control, by the time i've done that my luggage was waiting for me on the carousel, and to my suprise ma lagguage was intackt not like when I fly with Lufthansa, as soon as i get my lagguage I run to luggage claim kiosk to show them what they have done it. I think this airport is booming and in few years from now it will be main airport in europe.

how can i rent a cheap car from the airport

Hi Claire, you can take the train from Warsaw to Krakow, it's the easiest and fastest way, and it goes from the main Warsaw train station (Warszawa Centralna) to the main Krakow train station (Krakow Glowny), both in the centre of the cities, and takes just under 3 hours.

Could you please tell me the easiest way to travel to Krakow for Warsaw Airport. Made a big mistake flying from Warsaw, cant get tickets refunded so will have to live with it?

Be warned. If departing from Etiuda terminal there is no duty free shopping. on the check in side there is one stall selling drinks and cigarettes. once through check in the departure lounge has 2 vending machines, and thats it. just to let you know, if departing from here leave it as late as you can to check in and keep some change. this was the only minor blemish on 3 great nights in warsaw, so take note and plan for it.

What is the fastest way to get from Lodz to the Warsaw airport? Is there a direct bus?

We spent the weekend in Warsaw 12th - 14th October 2007. All arrivals were routed through Terminal 2 and all departures through Terminal 1 (except for the odd budget airline flight from the temporary Etiuda terminal). There are no passenger facilities in Terminal 2 other than a few car hire desks. The Tourist information desk is in Terminal 1. The only way there was to walk around the outside of the Terminal 2 building to the right. This was difficult as there were pedestrian barriers in place. Getting out through Terminal 1 on Sunday morning was horrendous. There were huge queues at the check-ins, which moved at a snail's pace. We stood in the queue for over an hour before getting to the check-in desk. There is no system of tapes and fences to channel the flow of people and enterprising Poles jumped to the head of the queue. [Incidentally, the one and only airport employee in the concourse had been retained by British airways to control their Heathrow queue.] There is another long unregulated queue for the security screening. Signposting is poor and we stood in the first queue for a time before realising it was for Gates 4,5,6. We needed to walk past left up to the second queue (not visible when entering) for Gates 1,2,3. Again, no airport staff were present to guide passengers. Two hours from arrival at the airport to get through security!

Please tell me how can I get to Hotel Harenda from the Airport (Frederik Chopin) with bus? Thank you

Hello, the train does not go from the airport. You will have to take a bus or cab to the main train station, Warszawa Centralna, and get a train from there. Train timetables can be found here: http://rozklad.pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en

I need to take the Train from Warsaw airport to Ketrzyn. How do I do that?

i'll return warsaw at 1225 in 30 ,May.I must leave to krakaw,I have some questions; can i handle my luggage in the bus which leaves to train station? Is this possible not to catch a ticket in a certain time after standig in its query because of overloading?

I have a flight scheduled from Warsaw to Krakow in the afternoon. My flight arrives from Moscow at 0955 hours. If I am in time, is it possible to take an earlier flight - approx. 1130 hours - the cost of these two tickets are the same and does not involve an upgrade.

please help me, at the warsaw airport which train is to the central railway station?

George, there is a left luggage office that's open 24 hours, where you can leave luggage for 24h for 5 PLN.

Thank you so very much for your reply. One more thing: Are there lockers or any other facilites at the airport where I could store my carry on luggage for a few hours? I wish to be able to walk in town without carrying luggage with me.

Hi, you can catch the 175 or the 188 into the city centre every ten minutes or so, or at night jump on the 611 and you'll get right to Warsaw Central Station (Dworzec Centralny). You don't need exact change to buy from the driver, but they likely won't have change for anything bigger than a 10 PLN bill.

Question: do you need exact change to take the bus at the airport? I need a bus to take me into the city during my 7 hours layover in Warsaw. Which bus? can I leave small luggage at the airport? until what time can I catch the return bus from the old city to Chopin?

this is WARSAW OKECIE WARSAW OKECIE WARSAW OKECIE !!! wszyscy warszawiacy to wiedza.....

The cheapest and easiest way to get to Krakow from the Warsaw airport would be to take the train like we recommend, as it takes only 2 hours and 45 minutes and runs just about every hour on the weekdays. And if you don't want to risk getting lost on the way or figuring out the Warsaw bus system, why not book a taxi to take you straight there? However, if you'd rather not leave the airport, one solution is the "Polski Express" coaches, which run directly and regularly between Warsaw and the biggest Polish towns. The bus stop is located on the Arrivals Hall level of the passenger terminal of Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport. For more information about "Polski Express" services, call +48 (22) 844 55 55. Be warned, however, that due to stops and speed limitations, the trip to Krakow could take up to 8 hours by bus. Another, though more expensive option is a direct airport transfer, which you can book through Warsaw Life's airport transfer. We hope that helps! - The Warsaw Life Team.

AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A WAY TO TRAVEL FROM AIRPORT TO CRACOW

I am also looking for a direct way to get to Krakow from the Warsaw Airport - preferably by express bus. Is there an express bus available from the Airport and approximately how long is the trip.

Is there a way of getting from Warsaw Airport to Cracow without leaving the airport, like an airport shuttle bus.
