Króla Jana III Sobieskiego 1, 21-040 Świdnik. Infeline +48 81 458 14 44 / [email protected]. Official site: airport.lublin.pl. Do not confuse with Warsaw Chopin (WAW), Warsaw Modlin (WMI), Rzeszów–Jasionka (RZE), or the historic grass Świdnik/PZL strip the civil airport replaced. - >- Official airport year-in-review (20 Jan 2026): 471,101 passengers in 2025 — the highest in the airport’s history and about +11% year-on-year — with 5,064 flight operations. Record August 2025: 61,115 passengers and 626 operations. Cargo: 7,304 tonnes across 272 cargo operations. The four-millionth passenger milestone fell in September 2025. - >- Single modern passenger terminal opened with the commercial airport on 17 December 2012 (replacing the older EPSW grass field next to the PZL Świdnik works). Main runway 07/25 — 2,520 × 45 m asphalt (published overall strip width with shoulders about 60 m); field elevation about 193 m / 633 ft AMSL; Cat II ILS capability reported on runway 25 in public references. A shorter 06/24 grass strip (~1,200 m) remains on charts as heritage/GA infrastructure, not the airline passenger runway. - >- Ground access is unusually strong for a ~0.5M-passenger Polish regional: the Lublin Airport rail halt sits at the terminal (steps from check-in), with Polregio Lublin Główny ↔ Lublin Airport services; Polregio’s published single is PLN 7.90 (confirm live). MPK Lublin bus line 5 (005) stops at the Departures entrance. Parking A (Departures) and Parking B (Arrivals) sit beside the terminal — airport parking page cites 727 spaces after the 2026 expansion; an earlier Jan 2026 how-to guide still cited 465 fully available passenger spaces. Kiss-and-fly short free window then paid tariffs — confirm the live Regulamin i cennik board before you budget a multi-day stay. - >- Security follows classic EU cabin-liquid rules (≤100 ml containers in one resealable transparent ≤1 L bag) — no published CT “leave-liquids-in-bag” product on passenger pages reviewed for this guide. Arrive with the usual low-cost / LOT buffers; the terminal is compact but leisure banks still stack. - >- Two Business Executive Lounge rooms — one airside Schengen, one airside non-Schengen — open during check-in for scheduled flights (airport lounge pages). Walk-up PLN 130; children under 2 free. Also: LOT Business, Star Alliance Gold when travelling on LOT, Diners Club, Priority Pass, DragonPass. Priority Pass lists the Schengen room after security / duty free near So!Coffee, typically within 3 hours of departure, digital cards accepted; published weekday hours vary (often morning through late evening) — confirm the live Priority Pass app. Soft drinks, standard alcohol, snacks, Wi-Fi/workstations, printer/fax on request; Schengen patio; non-Schengen apron view. No showers on published amenity lists. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Record 2025 leisure banks still fill one compact hall detail: >- Official 2025 traffic closed at 471,101 passengers with LOT, Ryanair and Wizz Air as the scheduled backbone plus a busy charter programme (Turkey, Croatia, Bulgaria, Egypt, Tunisia, Greek islands). Rome and Barcelona joined the scheduled map in 2025; 2026 launches called out by the airport include Trapani, Maastricht and Rijeka — always trust the live timetable. Classic 100 ml security plus bag-drop peaks still compress when morning UK turns and evening leisure banks overlap. Use airline app + live FIDS; pad earlier than the building size suggests on peak summer Saturdays. summary: >- Compact 2012 terminal, real leisure peaks — pad check-in and security when LCCs and charters stack. category: timing - label: Layout title: One terminal — rail at check-in; BEL in both sterile zones detail: >- Landside: Departures and Arrivals faces, check-in opposite the doors, Information, Parking A/B kerbs, and the rail halt integrated with the terminal. Airside splits into Schengen and non-Schengen holds after security / passport control. Business Executive Lounge has a room on each sterile side — Priority Pass’s published Schengen room sits after security and duty free near So!Coffee; non-Schengen passengers should use the non-Schengen BEL rather than assuming they can linger on the Schengen path. Meeting point: landside arrivals after reclaim. summary: >- Single Świdnik terminal — easy to walk; pick the BEL that matches your Schengen vs non-Schengen sterile path. category: terminal - label: Food title: So!Coffee + compact bistro/retail — eat in Lublin when you can detail: >- Priority Pass places So!Coffee next to the Schengen BEL. Third-party and retail directories also cite Flying Bistro / café service, 1 Minute / convenience retail, and a modest duty-free / beauty offer airside — brands and exact units rotate, so treat FIDS-adjacent signage as ground truth on the day. Lounge snacks and drinks cover eligible BEL guests only while rooms are staffed for your bank. There is no food court — budget café prices or eat in Lublin before the train or bus 5. summary: >- Café-scale airside offer plus BEL snacks — fine for coffee, not a dining hall. category: food - label: Live checks title: 'Rail-at-terminal cushions delays — one 2,520 m strip still sets risk' detail: >- Being ~10 km from Lublin with a terminal rail halt and MPK bus 5 makes recovery realistic when a turn runs late. Ops risk remains a single asphalt 07/25 runway, winter low cloud/fog on the plateau, classic liquids lanes, and stacked leisure banks in a small terminal. Confirm live FIDS and your airline app before leaving Zamość, Chełm, Puławy or the city — regional coach gaps hurt more than the short urban hop. summary: >- Rail and bus 5 are the cushion; weather and the single strip own the delay risk. category: status lounges: - name: Business Executive Lounge (Schengen) zone: >- Airside Schengen after security and duty free, near So!Coffee (Priority Pass + airport lounge pages). Airport also states non-Schengen passengers may use this room before passport control when published — confirm desk staff on the day. hours: >- Airport: open during check-in for scheduled flights. Priority Pass currently publishes varying daily windows (examples include Mon 11:00–00:50, Thu 08:00–22:40, Sat 08:00–21:30, Sun 09:00–22:30) with access typically from 3 hours before scheduled departure. Confirm the live Priority Pass / DragonPass app and desk board — hours follow the day’s flight banks. access: - Priority Pass / LoungeKey as published on those networks - DragonPass as published - Diners Club International as published on the airport lounge page - LOT Business Class tickets as published - Star Alliance Gold when travelling on LOT as published - Walk-up PLN 130 at the door (children under 2 free) bestFor: - >- Priority Pass holders on daytime Schengen departures with 60–180 minutes before departure - LOT Business / Star Alliance Gold on LOT with a usable staffed window - >- Anyone who wants a quiet seat with the Schengen patio instead of So!Coffee only summary: >- LUZ’s Priority Pass Schengen room — airside after security near So!Coffee with Wi-Fi, snacks, soft drinks, standard alcohol, and a patio. Worth it with network access on a daytime Schengen flight; skip if you only need a quick coffee, arrive outside the staffed bank, or your path is firmly non-Schengen (use the non-Schengen BEL instead). Walk-up PLN 130.

Practical choice for UK/Ireland and other non-Schengen banks when the Schengen room is the wrong side of passport control.
