LUZ · Eastern Poland’s modern Świdnik field: a single 2012 terminal ~10 km from Lublin centre, a record 471,101 passengers in 2025, classic 100 ml security, Business Executive Lounges on both Schengen and non-Schengen sides (Priority Pass / DragonPass / PLN 130 walk-up), and a rare regional perk — rail at the terminal plus MPK bus 5.
RZE · Podkarpackie’s Ulma Family airport: a single modern terminal with a 3,200 m runway, classic 100 ml security, a Baltona Priority Pass lounge that closes at 18:00, and an 18-minute POLREGIO train into Rzeszów — easy to use, easy to underestimate on summer charter peaks.

Record 2025 leisure banks still fill one compact hall
Compact 2012 terminal, real leisure peaks — pad check-in and security when LCCs and charters stack.
One terminal — rail at check-in; BEL in both sterile zones
Single Świdnik terminal — easy to walk; pick the BEL that matches your Schengen vs non-Schengen sterile path.
So!Coffee + compact bistro/retail — eat in Lublin when you can
Café-scale airside offer plus BEL snacks — fine for coffee, not a dining hall.

Summer charters and LOT banks matter more than the terminal size
Compact campus, real summer peaks — pad check-in and security when LOT and leisure banks overlap.
One terminal — Schengen lounge near Gate 4; re-check FIDS after shops
Single Ulma Family terminal — easy to walk; the failure mode is the wrong Schengen/non-Schengen hold after the shops.
Cavarious airside cafés + Baltona duty free; landside basics only
Cavarious covers coffee and light plates airside — not a food hall; eat in town when you have time.
