About this route

Route overview

The KRK -> GDN inter-airport route serves Wizz Air, Ryanair, LOT passengers and KLM connections via Amsterdam Schiphol onward to global destinations. 600 km on the A4 motorway to the Lodz junction, then A1 to the Tricity area. Standard transfer time is 6 h 30 min - 7 h 30 min off-peak. The route is typical for Tricity to Malopolska business delegations — frequently chosen with luggage instead of a train with changes in Warsaw. Bottleneck: the A1 around Lodz and the S6 approach into the Tricity, where afternoon local traffic adds 30-45 min. The service operates 24/7. For a KLM connection via Amsterdam we recommend a 4 hour buffer before the GDN departure. Gdansk Airport has a single terminal with two zones — Schengen and non-Schengen.

  • KLM connection passengers: KRK -> GDN -> Amsterdam Schiphol -> global destination
  • Business clients on a Malopolska to Pomerania leg with an onward flight from the Gdansk hub

Transfer Gdansk Walesa (GDN) -> Krakow Balice (KRK) | VIP Transfers

The GDN -> KRK route is the business delegation linking the two largest hubs of northern and southern Poland: a Gdansk arrival on a scheduled carrier (KLM, Lufthansa, Wizz Air, Ryanair, LOT) and a Balice continuation with LOT, Lufthansa, Ryanair or Wizz Air. Balice is an LOT hub with connections to Frankfurt, Munich, Paris and a Lufthansa link to Frankfurt and Munich. 600 km via the A1 to Lodz, then A1 and A4 to Krakow, 6 h 30 min - 7 h 30 min off-peak. The bottlenecks are the A1 around Lodz and the A4 around Krakow on Friday afternoons (up to 90 min added). The service operates 24/7, so we also handle early LOT departures to Frankfurt after an overnight arrival into Gdansk. We recommend a 4 hour buffer before an intercontinental connection out of KRK via Frankfurt or Munich. The chauffeur pulls up at the GDN terminal with a name board and delivers you to the Balice terminal. Mercedes E-Class from EUR 1,850 for 1-3 passengers, V-Class from EUR 2,200 for 4-6 with luggage.

Standard transfer time is 5 h - 5 h 45 min off-peak. Bottleneck: the A2 around Lodz and Strykow, where afternoon transit traffic adds 20-30 min. The service operates 24/7. For a Lufthansa connection via Frankfurt/Munich we recommend a 3 hour 30 minute buffer before the POZ departure. Poznan Lawica Airport has a single terminal — passengers head to gates A-D based on flight number, without a Schengen/non-Schengen split.

Standard transfer time is 2 h 45 min - 3 h 30 min off-peak. The route is fast, motorway throughout, with no significant bottlenecks beyond occasional A4 roadworks around Opole or Gliwice. The service operates 24/7. We recommend a 3 hour buffer for European flights and 4 hours for a LOT connection via Warsaw onto a long-haul.

Krakow Balice Airport (KRK) -> Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER)

The KRK -> BER inter-airport route serves Lufthansa, easyJet and Ryanair passengers, as well as onward connections through the Lufthansa hubs in Frankfurt and Munich towards long-haul destinations. 620 km on the A4 motorway to the Wroclaw junction, then A18 to the Olszyna border crossing, the German A15 and A13 straight to BER. Standard transfer time is 7 h - 8 h off-peak. The route is long but motorway throughout. The bottleneck: the Polish A4 to A18 Olszyna runs smoothly at night, while during the day the border at Olszyna can generate queues, especially on weekends and German public holidays. The service operates 24/7. We recommend a 4 hour buffer for long-haul connections from Frankfurt/Munich. The driver delivers you to Terminal 1 (most flights: Lufthansa, easyJet, KLM) or Terminal 2 (mainly Ryanair and low-cost).
