Around the clock, every day: every 30 minutes at :14 and :44 from 05:14 to 00:44, then 01:19, 02:19, 03:19 and 04:19. The longest wait at night is an hour.

Buy the 120-minute ticket, not the 40-minute one: the ride is timed at 48 minutes to the station and 51 to Sądowa, and the ticket's validity is judged by the timetable.

The cheapest fare needs two taps: a bank card on the validator as you board and the same card as you leave, PLN 5.70. Without the second tap the system keeps PLN 6.60.

The driver sells nothing. Machines on the forecourt and in the terminals sell paper tickets; validate on boarding.

From Sądowa it runs back to the airport all night too: at :00 and :30 from 04:00 to 23:30, then hourly at :30.

Every seat is reserved: book online up to two hours before, or by phone. Without a booking the coach may not stop at your stand at all.

The departure time is a guide. The coach waits for its booked passengers from late flights — up to two hours after the printed time — and may leave early once everyone booked is aboard. If your flight is late, your ticket is valid on the next coach with a seat.

PLN 20 online against PLN 30 in cash; bus AP does the same road for PLN 7 and runs at every hour.

It sets down at the Sądowa coach station, a few minutes' walk from the railway station and the Rynek.
