Poznań Ławica Airport (Port Lotniczy Poznań Ławica) is 7km west of central Poznań. On arrival there are three exchange bureaus (kantors – see Directory) to get Polish currency (zloty). If you’ve got your card on you then there are four cash machines (bankomats) found on the ground floor. A Tourist Info point can be found on the ground floor to the left of the check-in desk, and aside from stocking Poznań’s best guidebook you can also purchase the usual array of tourist services. As with all sensible airports there is absolutely no left luggage facility. Calling home is no problem; find phone booths located before passport control – chip cards to operate them are available from every newsagent. They’ll also be able to sell you SIM cards and pre-paid cards for your mobile phone.
Getting to town is a cinch. Taxis stand right outside the entrance, though if none should be waiting call a reputable operator like MPT (tel. 61 19191) or Radio Lux Taxi for something more flashy (tel. 61 19662). On the whole you’ll pay around 30zł to get to town. Do be on the lookout for cowboy drivers though, and only use taxis that are clearly marked with their company name and a list of prices. Cut costs by getting a bus. There is a stop right outside the entrance with two buses running from it: Line 59 heads to Rondo Kaponiera with journey time taking 17 minutes. It leaves every half an hour from 05:05, the last one departing at 22:55. Alternatively catch the Express Line L (Airport – Central Station). Journey time takes 16 minutes and there are two buses per hour (from 05:15 to 22:15). At other times the airport is connected to the central train station by a night bus (line 242), with one an hour from 23:52 till 03:52. Journey time should take 23 minutes. Single tickets valid for the 30 minute journey can be bought from kiosks, TI or ticket machines (and on the Express Line L directly from the driver). Remember to validate your ticket on boarding.
