Worth knowing
ModlinBus no longer runs; it was suspended in January 2021. The coaches that actually run are Contbus and FlixBus.
The train is the surest option and the one that runs through most of the night: hourly at ten past from Modlin station, 04:10 to 23:10 plus 00:35 and 01:45, 41 minutes to Warszawa Centralna. A ten-minute shuttle from the terminal meets it, and one 22.40 zl ticket covers the shuttle, the train and 75 minutes of Warsaw transport at the far end.
You will pay at most 40 zl on Contbus; you may pay less. Its fare sheets promise a commercial discount, ranging from 29 to 59 zl off depending on the sheet, but the live price only shows after you fill in a form with your details.
On Thursdays the last coach to Warsaw leaves at 19:15, though flights land until after midnight; the train runs to 23:10, then at 00:35 and 01:45. One coach runs between 00:30 and 01:30 every night for the last arrivals; between roughly 01:30 and 09:00 no coach runs, and the first shuttle to the train is 04:13.
The airport's banner prints 250 zl by day and 280 at night to the city centre; the taxi firm's own French, German, Spanish and Italian pages say 199 and 229, plus 20 zl for a minibus. Expect 250/280. Agree the fare before you get in.
Your Warsaw ticket does not reach Modlin. The joint ZTM-KM ticket validity ends at Legionowo, well short of the airport. The 40 zl five-person weekend group ticket and the 15 zl day ticket are real and useful in the city, and neither gets you here.
Distance from the centre is given as 36 km by the airport, 40.8 km on the coach permit, and 29 km by FlixBus; expect 36 km. The airport calls itself north-east of the centre, but its own coordinates put it north-west.
