  - >-
    4,907,527 passengers in calendar 2025 (airport / Pasazer.com / city of
    Wrocław reporting the same total; +9.7% vs 2024’s 4,473,945 on the airport
    annual series) despite a full operational pause roughly 26 Oct–4 Dec 2025
    for runway/taxiway and apron works (November 2025 recorded as 0 on the
    airport monthly table). August 2025 was the peak month (~643,900).
  - >-

    Główny / Dworcowa (~40–50 minutes in traffic). Day bus 129 also serves the
    airport; night coverage is line 206. Standard MPK / UrbanCard city tickets
    apply — no airport surcharge (60-minute ticket PLN 5.20 normal / PLN 2.60
    reduced on published UrbanCard / city tariff pages).
  - >-
    Airline mix is Ryanair- and Wizz Air-heavy leisure/LCC plus LOT, Lufthansa /
    Eurowings / SWISS, KLM, and seasonal charters. UK, Italy and Spain were the
    top outbound markets in the 2025 traffic reports.
  - >-
    Classic EU liquids rules still apply at security (≤100 ml containers in one
    clear 1-litre bag; large electronics out). Paid Fast Track: PLN 30 online /
    PLN 40 at the desk (airport Executive Lounge & Fast Track page). Executive
    Lounge airside after security — walk-up/day entry PLN 149 (EUR 35) at the
    desk or PLN 139 online; Priority Pass, LoungeKey and Dragon Pass accepted
    subject to space.
  - >-
    Free #PijKranówkę drinking-water points (airport + MPWiK): landside by the
    stairs to the chapel; Schengen departures near gates 5–6; arrivals near the
    baggage belt. Free Wi-Fi is available in the terminal. Kiss & Fly: first 10
    minutes free (up to three entries per calendar day), then PLN 20 to 20

    list).
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: Budget 2 hours — Ryanair/Wizz bag-drop is the choke point
    detail: >-
      Wrocław is a compact single-terminal field, but morning and late-afternoon
      LCC banks still stack at check-in and security. Airport paid Fast Track is
      PLN 30 if you buy online at rezerwacja.airport.wroclaw.pl (PLN 40 at the
      desk, card-only at the lane). Classic 100 ml liquids and laptop-out rules
      still apply — empty refill bottles before the lane, then use the free
      #PijKranówkę taps airside. Non-Schengen flights add passport control after
      security.
    summary: >-
      Arrive ~2 hours early for LCC peaks; Fast Track is PLN 30 online / PLN 40
      at the desk.
    category: timing
  - label: Terminal
    title: One terminal — Schengen vs non-Schengen after security
    detail: >-
      Check-in, security and reclaim sit in one modern terminal. After screening
      the flow splits toward Schengen gates and non-Schengen passport control.
      The Executive Lounge sits airside near gates 9–10 (1st floor). Priority
      Pass notes that non-Schengen passengers using the lounge may need to
      re-clear security when returning to their gate — leave early. Do not
      confuse WRO with Poznań (POZ) or the old Strachowice general-aviation /
      military fringe — follow passenger-terminal signs.
    summary: >-
      Single terminal; lounge is airside by gates 9–10 — non-Schengen travellers
      should leave a buffer.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: Eat landside or use the lounge — airside is limited
    detail: >-
      Landside has more everyday options (including a 24/7 Nano Żabka on the
      airport terminal map). Airside food is thinner and priced like every
      regional European LCC hub. Executive Lounge paid/ Priority Pass entry
      includes warm dishes, snacks, cakes and coffee on the airport page — a
      better value than buying a full meal airside if you already hold a pass.
      Bring an empty bottle for the free water points.
    summary: >-
      Prefer landside food or the Executive Lounge; free water taps beat PLN 10
      bottles.
    category: food
  - label: Status
    title: 2025 works closed the field for ~40 days — watch NOTAMs
    detail: >-
      The biggest operational story of 2025 was the ~40-day full closure (late
      October through early December) for runway, taxiway and apron
      modernisation under a CEF-backed programme. Further airside works may
      still constrain stands or taxi routes into 2026 — check the airport news
      feed and your airline app the day before travel. Do not assume a “quiet”
      November trough: 2025’s November was simply zero because nothing flew.
    summary: >-
      Confirm live ops after the 2025 runway rebuild; airline apps beat stale
      third-party blogs.

    hours: >-
      Airport page currently markets 24/7 opening (subject to change) and also
      describes access around departures; Priority Pass lists 04:30–21:00 daily,
      closed 25 Dec 2026, max stay 2 hours.
    access:
      - Online day entry PLN 139 / desk PLN 149 (EUR 35) per the airport page

        EUR top-up — check the airline-specific matrix on the airport lounge

    bestFor:
      - Priority Pass holders
      - Early LCC departures when landside cafés are thin
      - Light work before boarding
    summary: >-
      The only public passenger lounge. Solid Priority Pass / LoungeKey / Dragon
      Pass option with food and drinks; watch the PP 2-hour cap and the
      non-Schengen re-security note. Paid walk-up is PLN 139–149 — fine if you
      need a seat and a meal, skippable if you only want a coffee.
