Buy before you board the shuttle: the driver sells nothing. Machines, the KM counter, the KM app and website, SkyCash, Jakdojade and Koleo all sell it.

The ticket is one way and must be used within an hour of the time you buy it or the time you choose. A return is a second ticket.

The 04:10 train has no shuttle to meet it. The first shuttle is 04:13, and the first train it reaches is the 05:10, at Centralna 05:51.

It does not open the metro gates. Use the lift, or take a free pass from the Passenger Service Point or the dispenser by the gates.

A rail spur to the terminal is due in 2029. Until then every journey changes at Modlin station.
