Validate it as you board, not at the station entrance, and not from the on-board machine while the train is standing at the airport — the machine validates at purchase.

If you stay on past Zachodnia you are traveling without a valid ticket by the time the train reaches Śródmieście or Centralna.

It saves PLN 1 a head against the 75-minute ticket. For anywhere but Zachodnia, that is the whole of what it does.
