Rodziny Ulmów / Rzeszów Ulma Family Airport), IATA RZE / ICAO EPRZ, sits in the village of Jasionka about 7.8 km north of Rzeszów city centre (airport “information about the airport” / infrastructure pages). Operator: Port Lotniczy Rzeszów-Jasionka im. Rodziny Ulmów Sp. z o.o., address Jasionka 942, 36-002 Jasionka. Hotline +48 17 71 70 800. Official site: rzeszowairport.pl. Do not confuse with Kraków (KRK), Warsaw (WAW), or Lublin (LUZ). - >- Official passenger-traffic table: 1,282,628 passengers in 2025 (record; about +12% vs 1,145,257 in 2024). Aircraft operations table: 19,917 movements in 2025 (vs 21,408 in 2024). Through June 2026 the same passenger table already shows 516,325 year-to-date. LOT and Ryanair carry the bulk of scheduled traffic; summer charters to Türkiye / Egypt / Greece add seasonal peaks. - >- One passenger terminal. Runway 09/27 is 3,200 × 45 m (asphalt/concrete) — among Poland’s longest civil strips — with ILS CAT II on 27; field elevation about 211 m / 692 ft AMSL (airport infrastructure / AIP-derived pages). 24/7 civil operations are advertised for the field. - >- Ground links are unusually strong for a ~1.3M Polish regional: POLREGIO / Podkarpacka Kolej Aglomeracyjna trains take about 18 minutes to Rzeszów centre (covered “Jasionka Lotnisko” stop ~3 minutes’ walk by P2/P3; airport-published singles PLN 4.30 normal / 2.71 school / 2.11 student / free under 4). ZTM bus line 51 stops in front of the terminal (~35 minutes to Bardowskiego / centre depending on traffic). Authorised taxi rank; APCOA-managed P1 short-stay and P2/P3 long-stay car parks. - >- Security still follows classic EU cabin-liquid rules on the airport security page and liquids PDF (≤100 ml containers in one resealable transparent ≤1 L bag; present liquids separately). No published CT “leave-liquids-in-bag” product as of this guide — empty bottle after screening or buy airside. - >- Passenger lounge: Business Lounge by Baltona, airside in the Schengen departures zone near Gate 4 (after security / passport control; Priority Pass location text). Priority Pass currently lists Mon–Sat 05:00–18:00 and Sun 08:00–18:00, max stay 4 hours, no showers on the published amenity list. A separate prepaid VIP Lounge (eastern terminal; book ≥24 h ahead) is a meet-and-assist product, not the Priority Pass room. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Summer charters and LOT banks matter more than the terminal size detail: >- Official 2025 traffic set a new record at 1,282,628 passengers, with summer leisure and charter peaks (Türkiye, Egypt, Greek islands) on top of year-round LOT Warsaw shuttles and Ryanair UK/Ireland/Spain/Italy links. The single terminal walks quickly, but check-in and classic 100 ml security still compress when morning LOT waves and leisure departures stack — arrive earlier than the building size suggests on peak Saturdays. summary: >- Compact campus, real summer peaks — pad check-in and security when LOT and leisure banks overlap. category: timing - label: Layout title: One terminal — Schengen lounge near Gate 4; re-check FIDS after shops detail: >- Landside: check-in / bag drop, arrivals reclaim, car rental, ticket machines, parking links. Airside: security into Baltona retail and Cavarious cafés, then Schengen vs non-Schengen holds. Business Lounge by Baltona sits in Schengen departures near Gate 4 on the right after security/passport control (Priority Pass directions). Non-Schengen passengers (e.g. UK / US LOT Newark seasons) must not assume the lounge is on their sterile path — confirm the live gate area. Meeting point: landside arrivals after reclaim. summary: >- Single Ulma Family terminal — easy to walk; the failure mode is the wrong Schengen/non-Schengen hold after the shops. category: terminal - label: Food title: Cavarious airside cafés + Baltona duty free; landside basics only detail: >- Baltona operates Cavarious cafés in both departure zones after security (coffee, sandwiches, salads, sweet snacks, gluten-free/veg options on Baltona’s Rzeszów page) plus Baltona Duty Free / Multistore travel retail. Landside food is thinner — plan a real meal in Rzeszów if you have a long gap. Business Lounge by Baltona adds a snack/drink buffet for eligible guests while open. summary: >- Cavarious covers coffee and light plates airside — not a food hall; eat in town when you have time. category: food - label: Live checks title: Long runway helps heavy metal — fog and single-terminal peaks still bite detail: >- The 3,200 m runway and CAT II approach on 27 give RZE more heavy-aircraft and low-visibility capability than most Polish regionals, which is why freighter and diversion traffic appears in airport news. Passengers still face a single terminal and one main strip: winter fog/low cloud on the Jasionka plateau, convective summer weather, and stacked leisure banks are the everyday disruption modes. Verify live FIDS and your airline app before leaving the city. summary: >- Ops flexibility is runway-led; your clock risk is weather plus the single terminal peak. category: status lounges: - name: Business Lounge by Baltona zone: >- Airside Schengen departures near Gate 4 — after security checks and passport control; lounge on the right-hand side (Priority Pass location text). Domestic and international passengers as published on Priority Pass. hours: >- Priority Pass currently lists Monday–Saturday 05:00–18:00 and Sunday 08:00–18:00. Max stay 4 hours. Confirm the live Priority Pass / LoungeKey app and desk board on the day — evening departures after 18:00 often miss the room entirely. access: - Priority Pass / LoungeKey / DragonPass as published on those networks - >- Baltona partner / airline contract access when your ticket or loyalty programme points here (confirm before you walk up) - >- Paid day entry may be sold via Baltona / lounge-pass partners — rates change; confirm at the desk (do not assume a walk-up price from third party apps) bestFor: - >- Priority Pass holders on morning/midday Schengen departures with 60–180 minutes before departure - Travellers who need a quieter seat away from the Cavarious gate crush - 'Anyone whose flight departs before the published 18:00 lounge close' summary: >- RZE’s only Priority Pass passenger lounge — Baltona airside room near Gate 4 with soft drinks, standard alcoholic drinks, snacks, Wi-Fi / work space, press, and TV as published by Baltona and Priority Pass. Worth it with network access on a daytime departure; skip if you fly after 18:00, sit non-Schengen without a published path, or only need a quick coffee at Cavarious. No showers on published Priority Pass amenity lists. Separate from the prepaid VIP Lounge product. verdict: depends terminal: 'Main terminal (airside, Schengen departures)' amenities: - Soft drinks and standard alcoholic drinks (as published) - Hot and cold snack / dessert buffet (Baltona lounge page) - Unlimited Wi-Fi / workstations / office equipment (Baltona) - Flight information / television / press - Air conditioning - Digital Priority Pass card accepted - No showers on published Priority Pass amenity lists - Children under 3 admitted free (Priority Pass conditions) waterOptions: - kind: purchase name: Bottled water at Cavarious / Baltona retail zone: airside price: Typically about PLN 5–12 for 0.5 L (outlet-dependent; confirm at till) summary: >- Sealed bottles at Cavarious cafés after security and in Baltona travel retail.

After classic 100 ml screening, airside washroom cold taps are the practical free refill — carry an empty bottle.
