Warsaw is served primarily by Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), the country’s main international hub catering to legacy carriers like LOT along with many European network airlines; it’s generally seen as mid-to-upper range in comfort and service. The city is also served by Warsaw Modlin (WMI), a secondary airport farther north used mainly by low-cost carriers and charter operators, often perceived as cheaper but less convenient. Chopin sits about 10 km south of the city centre with taxi rides of roughly 20–30 minutes or an express train/bus in about 20–30 minutes; fares typically range from modest city-rail prices to standard taxi rates. Modlin is roughly 40 km out; transfer buses take around 40–60 minutes with lower-cost shuttle fares, while taxis can be significantly more. Pros: Chopin offers quicker access and more lounges, while Modlin can deliver lower fares for budget travelers; cons include potential crowds at Chopin and longer transfers from Modlin.
