The joint 70-MINUTE ticket is not valid here. It covers the train at every station named Kraków "z wyłączeniem Kraków Lotnisko" — the airport is the one exclusion. Only the PLN 20 airport fare boards this train at this station.
The PLN 20 is an airport-only price. Every fare table in KMŁ's tariff says it does not apply to Kraków Lotnisko; the same distance elsewhere on the line is PLN 7.50.
Bus 300 from the forecourt is PLN 6 and, by the authority's stop coordinates, drops you nearer the Rynek than this train does. The train is the right answer for Kraków Główny itself and for anywhere on the line beyond it.
No train between 01:47 and 04:17. Night bus 902 covers those hours at 02:16, 03:16 and 03:51.
The last half-hourly train is 22:17; after that the intervals are 60, 50, 50 and 50 minutes.

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.
