  1. Direct Kyiv–Warsaw train

    • daily
    • ≈14 h

    Train No. 67 leaves Kyiv every evening and arrives at Warszawa Centralna the next morning, a journey of about 14 hours. It runs via Kovel, Chełm and Lublin. The border is crossed at Yahodyn and Dorohusk, with both checks done on board.

    SKM S3 from Warszawa Centralna (and S2 from Śródmieście) stops at the underground Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina station next to the terminal. They run about every 15 minutes and take just over 20 minutes from the centre. Bus 175, or N32 at night, is an alternative. The airport recommends a 75-minute ticket, which costs 4.40 PLN.

  3. Taxi

    A taxi from the airport to the centre costs about 50 PLN. iTaxi, Uber and Bolt operate officially.

  4. Flying from Modlin

    Take a Koleje Mazowieckie train from Warszawa Centralna to Modlin station (40–45 minutes) and the shuttle bus to the terminal (about 10 minutes), or the ModlinBus from the centre. For an early flight the first train may be too late, so stay nearby the night before.

Tips before you fly

  • Arrive at Chopin at least 2 hours before Schengen flights and 3 hours before long-haul. Check-in closes 30 minutes before European flights and 1 hour before long-haul.
  • Don’t plan a flight right after your train arrives: it can run several hours late, so leave at least half a day.
  • Poland is one hour behind Kyiv.
  • Check which airport your flight uses: Chopin and Modlin are on opposite sides of the city, more than an hour apart.
