Poznań Ławica Airport lies a convenient 7km west of central Poznań.
In the Arrivals terminal you’ll find an exchange bureau (kantor), cash machine (bankomat), and food vendors, as well as a tourist info point where you can pick up additional copies of Poznań’s best guidebook (wink). As with all sensible airports in this day and age, there is absolutely no left luggage facility.
Getting to town is a cinch. Car rental is available, and taxis stand right outside the entrance, though you’ll probably overpay to take one. Aim to pay around 30-35zł for the taxi fare to the centre, but keep in mind that it can shoot up to 50zł during the nighttime; as always, agree on a fare with the driver before committing.
Alternatively, cut costs by catching a bus, which will get you to the centre in 15-20 minutes. From the stop right outside the entrance, line 159 heads to 'Poznań Główny' (the main train station) at least three times per hour from 04:45 to 23:22. At other times the airport is connected to the train station by night bus 222, which runs at 24:02, 01:02, 02:02, 03:02 and 04:02 daily; journey time 23 mins. Single 45-minute tickets (6zł) can be bought from kiosks, TI, or ticket machines; remember to validate your ticket immediately upon boarding.

If you're one of Britain's much-maligned, over-taxed smokers, you'll be pleased to know that Poznan airport is one of the few airports in Poland that sells Lambert & Butler cigarettes in it's airside shops. Travelling within the EU you must pay the 'tax-paid' price rather than the 'tax-free' price [available to those travelling outside of the EU]. However, with a 'tax-paid' price of only 125 Zlt for a carton of 200, purchase 800 and you could, potentially, still save enough money on your fags to pay for your weekend trip.
