Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Book Fast Track online for 50 PLN (55 PLN at kiosk) to skip standard lines.
C3 scanners on Fast Track AB and E allow liquids up to 2L and no device removal at those lanes (standard lanes still use 100 ml rules).
Transfers can be 30 min minimum; follow zone-specific signs.
Aircraft often on remote stands—budget extra bus time for non-Schengen connections.
Reasonable prices and variety post-security; avoid peak AF/KL rushes.
Lounges praised for hot meals but can feel crowded—many prefer airside restaurants.
Solid food and bar; Priority Pass covers Etiuda/Fantazja.
Good for work or layovers but not exceptional — skip if short connection.
A practical non-Schengen lounge for eligible-card access, rather than a reason to arrive especially early.
