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.
