SKM or KM trainorBus 175?

From

Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina station, underground and a short walk from the terminal; platform 1, track 1 for the S2 and track 2 for the S3 and RL

To

Warszawa Śródmieście on the S2 (22 min) or Warszawa Centralna on the S3 (21 min) and the RL (23 min), all via Warszawa Zachodnia (14 to 16 min)

Luggage

Free, and unlimited by the tariff: "Przewóz zwierząt i bagażu jest bezpłatny." A commuter train, full at rush hour.

Runs

04:56–23:56

Journey

21–23 min

Buy the 75-MINUTE ticket, not the 20-MINUTE one. The cheaper ticket expires before Śródmieście and Centralna — SKM says so in its own FAQ and the airport says "buy a ticket of at least 75 minutes". It reaches Warszawa Zachodnia and nothing further.

A ticket from the machine on the train is validated the moment it is printed. If the train is still standing at the airport, wait until it moves.

S2 goes to Śródmieście, S3 and RL to Centralna. They leave from the same platform, and the S3 and RL share a track; check the screen.

On the RL, a Koleje Mazowieckie train, validate the ZTM ticket in the validator on board, or board by the first door and show it to the train manager. Outside the airport section the RL does not take 20-, 75- or 90-minute ZTM tickets at all.

Nobody on the train sells tickets, the on-board machines take cards only, and SKM tickets are not sold at railway station ticket offices. Cash buyers use the machines at the station entrance.

Before 06:11 only the S2 runs, every 30 minutes from 04:56, plus the 05:41 RL.

Dw. Centralny in 22 to 28 minutes and Centrum in 24 to 31, then Nowy Świat and Krakowskie Przedmieście to Pl. Piłsudskiego at the edge of the Old Town in 32 to 43

Luggage

Runs

04:58–23:58

Journey

22–43 min

Board on the arrivals level. WTP states that boarding buses on the upper, departures level to leave the airport is not allowed.

The airport itself allows about 30 minutes to Centrum, and the weekday peak runs to 43 minutes to Pl. Piłsudskiego. The train is faster to both stations.

From 23:03 every 175 terminates at Centrum; the last one to Pl. Piłsudskiego leaves at 22:53.

At weekends the last stretch runs by Marszałkowska, Królewska and Zachęta instead of Nowy Świat and Krakowskie Przedmieście; the terminus is the same.

The on-board ticket machine takes cards only.
