Bukowska 285 (DW 307), about 7 km from the city centre; IATA POZ / ICAO EPPO. Single passenger terminal. One paved runway 10/28, 2,504 × 50 m; field elevation about 94 m / 308 ft. Operator: Port Lotniczy Poznań-Ławica sp. z o.o. (Henryk Wieniawski Airport). - >- Record 4,144,827 passengers in calendar 2025 on the airport statistics page (legacy 615,230 + low-cost 2,335,298 + charter 1,190,166 + GA 4,133) with 44,823 aircraft operations — about +15% vs 2024’s 3,607,817. Peak month August 2025 was 520,193 passengers; December closed the year at 232,286. - >- No on-airport rail. ZTM day buses 159 (direct toward Poznań Główny) and 148, plus night line 222, stop at the terminals. Official airport estimate is about 20–25 minutes / 16 stops to the centre. Buy ZTM tickets at terminal kiosks, the stop machine (coins), onboard machines where stickered, or apps (CallPay, moBILET, mPay, SkyCash, etc.). Published ZTM time fares: 15 min PLN 5 / 2.50; 45 min PLN 7 / 3.50; 90 min PLN 9 / 4.50 — the 45-minute ticket covers a typical airport run. - >- Traffic mix is Ryanair-led low-cost, strong summer charter programmes, plus network links such as KLM Amsterdam (double-daily in recent seasons), Lufthansa Frankfurt, LOT, SAS Copenhagen and growing Gulf / leisure long-haul charters. SWISS Zürich service is advertised from March 2026 on the airport news feed. - >- CT security scanners: since 9 Sep 2025 the airport / TVP World report that liquids, gels and aerosols may stay in cabin bags in containers up to about 2 litres and large electronics need not be removed — still follow live checkpoint signs. Paid Fast Track: PLN 50 (ToBilet online or terminal kiosk); airport Fast Track page lists service from 04:00 with weekday close-outs of 21:00 or 22:00. Business Executive Lounge airside day entry PLN 139; Priority Pass and Dragon Pass accepted. - >- Free Wi-Fi SSID “Poznań Airport by JustWIFI” (unlimited login via Facebook/Twitter/Google+/email, or 30-minute guest sessions). Kiss & Fly curb by Departures: free up to 10 minutes, then PLN 10 per started 10 minutes (airport blog, zone live from 22 Jul 2025). Do not confuse POZ with military Poznań-Krzesiny (EPKS). bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Arrive 2 hours early — LCC banks still jam bag-drop detail: >- The terminal is compact, but Ryanair/Wizz/charter banks still stack at check-in and the security funnel. Airport guidance is to arrive at least two hours before departure. Fast Track (PLN 50 via ToBilet or the kiosk) buys the dedicated security lane when the main queue is long — available from 04:00; airport Fast Track hours close at 21:00 or 22:00 depending on the weekday, so late departures may not have it. CT lanes usually let compliant liquids stay packed; still empty obviously oversized bottles if staff ask. summary: >- Plan ~2 hours; Fast Track is PLN 50 and only useful while the lane is open (from 04:00 to 21:00/22:00 by weekday). category: timing - label: Terminal title: One terminal — Schengen split after security detail: >- All airlines use the single passenger terminal on Bukowska. After screening the flow splits toward Schengen gates and non-Schengen passport control. Business Executive Lounge sits airside in the departures sterile area (Priority Pass: right-hand side of the departures hall after security / passport control as applicable). Non-Schengen passengers who use the lounge must still clear passport control to reach non-Schengen gates — leave a buffer. Follow passenger-terminal signs; Krzesiny airbase is a separate military field southeast of the city. summary: >- Single terminal; BEL is airside after security — non-Schengen travellers need a passport-control buffer. category: terminal - label: Food title: Landside cafés or BEL — do not expect hub-scale airside dining detail: >- POZ is a regional LCC/charter field: landside has the more predictable coffee and snack options before security. Airside is thinner and priced like every European leisure airport. Business Executive Lounge (PLN 139 day entry, Priority Pass / Dragon Pass) is the only public lounge and includes hot/cold drinks, sweet snacks and alcohol on the airport page — better value than buying a full meal airside if you already hold a pass. Free Wi-Fi is “Poznań Airport by JustWIFI”. summary: Prefer landside food or the BEL; SSID is Poznań Airport by JustWIFI. category: food - label: Status title: Record 2025 traffic — watch live security and works notices detail: >- 2025 was the airport’s busiest year (4.14M passengers). Capacity pressure shows up as longer LCC queues rather than multi-terminal confusion. The airport homepage and news feed flag ongoing terminal modernisation and the CT security change (liquids up to ~2 L stay in bag). Always re-check the airport news page and your airline app the day before travel — fare and works pages change faster than third-party blogs. summary: >- Confirm live ops and CT lane rules on the airport site; 2025 set a new passenger record. category: status lounges: - name: Business Executive Lounge zone: Airside (departures sterile area) hours: >- Airport BEL page: Mon 04:00–22:30; Tue–Thu 04:00–22:00; Fri 04:00–22:30; Sat 04:00–22:00; Sun 04:00–22:30. Priority Pass currently lists roughly 04:00–21:00 (Sun to 21:30) — trust the stricter published window on the day. Entry no earlier than 3 hours before scheduled departure; valid boarding pass required. Children under 2 free on Priority Pass rules; airport page states children up to 7 with boarding passes accompanying a BEL user enter free. access: - Day entry PLN 139 via ToBilet / kiosk / lounge desk (airport pricelist) - Priority Pass - Dragon Pass - 'Business-class on Lufthansa, LOT, KLM, SWISS, flydubai (airport matrix)' - >- Star Alliance Gold on LH/LOT/SWISS (+1 guest); SkyTeam Elite Plus on KLM (+1 guest); Skywards Gold/Platinum on flydubai - >- Star Alliance Silver / SkyTeam Elite walk-up top-up PLN 55 at the BEL desk (airport matrix) bestFor: - Priority Pass / Dragon Pass holders - Early network-carrier departures - A quiet seat when landside cafés are crowded summary: >- Only public passenger lounge. Priority Pass / Dragon Pass option with drinks and snacks; paid day entry is PLN 139. Watch the 3-hour-before- departure rule and the non-Schengen passport-control note on Priority Pass. Skippable if you only need a quick coffee landside. verdict: worth-it terminal: Main Terminal amenities: - Wi-Fi - Hot and cold drinks - Sweet snacks - Alcoholic beverages - Newspapers - Office equipment waterOptions: - kind: purchase name: Terminal retail bottled water zone: landside price: Typically about PLN 4–10 for 0.5 L (shop-dependent; confirm at till) summary: >- Sealed bottles landside and airside. The airport has not published a free #PijKranówkę-style fountain map — buy or bring your own. CT screening (from Sep 2025) normally allows cabin liquids up to about 2 L to stay in the bag, so a sealed bottle bought landside can usually go through. location: Landside kiosks / cafés before security and airside retail after screening terminal: Main Terminal isBestValue: true - kind: purchase name: Airside café / shop bottled water zone: airside price: Higher markup than landside (confirm at till) summary: >- Buy after security only if you skipped landside. Prefer filling or buying before the lane when CT rules let a sealed bottle through. location: Airside concessions after security toward the gate area terminal: Main Terminal airportistScore: 7.3 slug: poz region: Europe --- > Markdown for [/airports/poz](/airports/poz).
