POZ · Record-breaking single-terminal LCC/charter gateway with CT liquids-friendly security, a Priority Pass Business Executive Lounge, and cheap ZTM buses 159/148 — still no rail link and thin airside food.
BZG · Kujawy-Pomerania’s close-in Paderewski field: a single compact terminal ~3.5 km from Bydgoszcz centre, a record 439,836 passengers in 2025, classic 100 ml security, a Schengen Business Executive Lounge on Priority Pass and Amex Platinum, and ZDMiKP bus 80 instead of an airport rail station.

Business Executive Lounge is Schengen floor-1 only — many Ryanair UK/Ireland paths never reach itAirport page still ties lounge opening to LOT flight days / 24 h booking despite Priority Pass’s 08:00–20:00 listingClassic EU 100 ml liquids; no published CT leave-liquids-in-bag lanesNo on-airport rail — train arrivals still need bus 80 from Bydgoszcz Główna
Free Wi-Fi (JustWIFI)
Arrive 2 hours early — LCC banks still jam bag-drop
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).
One terminal — Schengen split after security
Single terminal; BEL is airside after security — non-Schengen travellers need a passport-control buffer.
Landside cafés or BEL — do not expect hub-scale airside dining
Prefer landside food or the BEL; SSID is Poznań Airport by JustWIFI.

Record 2025 leisure banks still fill a small hall
Compact terminal, real leisure peaks — pad check-in and security when Ryanair and charter banks overlap.
One terminal — Schengen BEL upstairs; non-Schengen stays downstairs
Single Paderewski terminal — easy to walk; the failure mode is assuming the Schengen lounge is on a non-Schengen Ryanair path.
So!Coffee / Coffee to go + Baltona — eat in Bydgoszcz if you have time
Two café brands and Baltona retail — fine for coffee, not a dining hall.
