On arrival at Poznań Airport

From the arrivals hall to each way in
Finding the stop

Buses to the city leave from the stop Port Lotniczy Ławica, right by the terminal: 159 and 148 to Poznań Główny by day, 222 through the centre at night. Board at the Arrivals stop, the first one the bus calls at after Departures.

Tickets

A ticket machine stands at the bus stop outside the terminal, and kiosks in the departure terminal sell tickets too; the machine takes coins only (10 gr to PLN 5) and gives change. The terminal on board sells the same tickets by contactless card or phone, with nothing printed. Ticket apps (moTICKET, mPay, SkyCash, CallPay) work by scanning the QR code in the bus.

The taxi rank

A 24/7 taxi rank is at the exit from the arrivals hall. The airport recommends iTaxi as trustworthy, and only iTaxi’s cars may use the rank without a time limit. Poznań taxis run on the meter, capped by the city at PLN 11 to start, including the first kilometre, then PLN 5 a kilometre from 06:00 to 22:00 and PLN 7.50 at night and all day on Sundays and holidays.

Uber and Bolt

Uber and Bolt both pick up at Poznań airport, which has a single terminal. The pickup point is shown in the app; follow the ride-hailing signs.

At night

After the last 159 at 00:33, night bus 222 leaves at 01:03, 02:03, 03:03 and 04:03, and 05:03 on Sunday mornings, for Rondo Kaponiera and Poznań Główny. The first 159 leaves at 04:28 on weekdays.
