Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

A Fast Track is gone

Non-Schengen Fast Track closed on 1 October 2026. Terminal B Fast Track is 04:00–22:00.

Walk-in Fast Track is PLN 80 (ages 12+), PLN 50 ages 6–12. Star Alliance Business, HON, and Gold still get free lounge and Fast Track except charter, Wizz Air, and Ryanair.

Terminal

A is non-Schengen, B is Schengen

Check the boarding pass before security. A, B, and C sit in one connected complex.

Business Lounge is ground floor in A (near Gate 1) and second floor in B. Fast Track is first floor in B only.

Food

Lounge snacks, not a meal

The Business Lounge is self-service drinks (including alcohol) and snacks, 04:00–22:00.

Vegan or gluten-free needs a paid request at least 72 hours ahead. Official pages do not list current restaurant prices.

Status

Priority Pass is Terminal A only

Live Priority Pass and LoungeKey show only Terminal A. Terminal B dropped both cards on 1 January 2026.

DragonPass still lists both rooms. Diners Club and City Handlowy remain on the airport partner list.

Live conditions
