Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)

About Warsaw Chopin Airport

Warsaw Chopin Airport (IATA code WAW) is the largest airport in Poland and serves the capital, Warsaw. It is named after the composer Frédéric Chopin and is located in the Okęcie district in the south of the city, only around 10 km from the centre.

The airport is the main hub of LOT Polish Airlines and offers connections across Europe and beyond. Its closeness to the city centre is a big advantage: the trip downtown is usually short. Warsaw also has a smaller airport, Warsaw Modlin (WMI), used by some low-cost airlines, so double-check which one your ticket shows.

Getting to the city centre

You can reach the centre in several ways:

• Trains — the airport has its own railway station with suburban trains (SKM and Koleje Mazowieckie) to central Warsaw stations.
• City buses — public bus routes run from the terminal into the city, including night buses.
• Taxi and ride-hailing — use official taxi ranks or apps.

Warsaw public transport tickets cover both trains and buses within the city zone; check the details on the official airport website.

Practical tips

A few simple habits make the airport part of your trip much smoother:

• Arrive early, especially in peak travel seasons: queues at check-in, security and passport control can build up quickly.
• Double-check the airport code and terminal on your booking — cities with several airports are easy to mix up.
• Check passport validity and entry requirements with official sources such as the embassy or consulate.
• Warsaw is a common connection point to other European cities, so check the minimum connection time if you change flights here.
