Train PLN 20 to Główny; official taxi Zone 4–5 is PLN 89 / 109.

Koleje Małopolskie’s official airport page: Airport ↔ Kraków Główny PLN 20.00; Airport ↔ Wieliczka PLN 24.00; dogs PLN 3.00; luggage free. Buy on the train machine, at the KM ticket point (08:10–19:45), from the conductor, or via KOLEO / Jakdojade. The station sits behind the multi-storey car park, linked by a covered footbridge. Official Kraków Airport Taxi (the only on-airport taxi) uses flat zones regardless of time of day: Zone 4 (8–11.9 km) PLN 89 / Zone 5 (12–14.9 km) PLN 109 — typical Old Town / centre bands — then PLN 129–169 for farther city districts; over 27 km is agreed in advance at max PLN 8/km. Ignore arrivals-hall touts. Night bus 902 is the usual late/early urban fallback when SKA1 is not running — confirm the live MPK timetable.

Classic 100 ml; 13.2M pax in an ~8M-design terminal — build buffer.

Official passenger pages still describe classic EU LAG rules (≤100 ml in one transparent 1 L bag) unless a specific CT lane notice is posted on the day. The terminal was designed for ~8 million passengers and handled 13.25 million in 2025 — Friday evenings, Sunday leisure banks and holiday weeks are when queues stretch. Use the airport app for live estimates. Non-Schengen / UK / EES passengers need extra time for passport control after the Schengen-side lounge. Plan ~2 hours for typical LCC departures; more in peak summer.

Gate 2 Business Lounge; PP / PLN 260; leave extra time for non-Schengen.

Official Business Lounge page: vis-à-vis Gate 2, 850 m² over two floors, open to Schengen and non-Schengen departures. Hours Mon–Thu and Sat–Sun 04:30–23:30, Friday 04:30–23:00. Access from 3 hours before scheduled departure; max 3 hours, extendable to 6 hours for a fee. Walk-in PLN 260 (card or cash). Priority Pass, LoungeKey, Dragon Pass, Diners, Capital One Venture X and listed airline status / business-class tickets also work — Aeroflot SkyTeam Elite Plus does not, on any flight. Non-Schengen passengers must leave early enough for border control. The old non-Schengen lounge stays closed (2022). Official amenity copy lists snacks, drinks, Wi-Fi, workspace and a children’s playroom — do not promise showers from third-party reviews.

Better food landside; empty bottle plus an airside fountain if you spot one.

Airside F&B is a standard Polish café / duty-free mix and feels thin when several Ryanair / Wizz banks board together. Landside has more variety and lower prices before you clear security. Traveler reports place a free refill near airside Starbucks / the B-gate cluster — follow water signage because retail works move cabinets. Heinemann sells sealed 0.5 L bottles as backup (typically ~PLN 8–12). Bring an empty bottle through classic 100 ml security.
