It does not go to Kraków Główny. For the station take the train, or at night the 902; for the Old Town this bus is nearer than either.

The PLN 6 ticket lasts to the end of this bus's run however long it takes. If you change to a tram at Muzeum Narodowe, the 30 minutes will have nearly gone by then — buy the PLN 8 60-minute ticket instead.

A zone-I 24-hour ticket (PLN 20) is not valid on this ride; the airport is in zone II. The all-zones 24-hour ticket is PLN 25.

The route has been "temporarily" diverted via Al. Focha and Królowej Jadwigi since 2 September 2023, and ZTP's own line description still shows the old road through Przegorzały. The times here are the diverted route, which is the one that runs.

The scheduled 19 minutes is a timetable figure. The same road is used by the night bus, which is timed at 24 minutes to the same stop.

Bus 209 also passes the airport about twelve times a day on its way from Mników to Salwator, on the same ticket; Salwator is a tram terminus well short of the Old Town, so the 300 is the one to take.
