About this route

Route overview

The KRK -> WMI inter-airport route serves Ryanair and Wizz Air connections to the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy — Modlin is the second Warsaw airport, dedicated entirely to low-cost carriers. 320 km via the A4 motorway to the Lodz junction, then A1 and S7 through Plonsk to Modlin, with the final approach along Nasielska Street to the terminal. The transfer takes 4 h - 4 h 30 min off-peak. The main bottleneck is the S7 between Lodz and Modlin and the last kilometres along Nasielska, where local traffic and speed limits add 15-20 min. The service operates 24/7, so we also handle early Ryanair departures (typically 6:00-7:30 AM) after an overnight arrival into KRK. Ryanair closes bag drop 40 minutes before departure, so we recommend a 3 hour buffer before a WMI flight. The driver pulls up at the KRK terminal with a name board, tracks the flight live and delivers you to the single Modlin terminal.

Krakow Balice Airport (KRK) -> Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)

The KRK -> WAW inter-airport route is the classic business connection — an arrival into Krakow and onward travel from Chopin with LOT, Lufthansa or Turkish Airlines to Istanbul, Frankfurt or Munich. 295 km via the A4 motorway to the Wroclaw junction, then A1 and S8 through Lodz to Warsaw, 3 h 30 min - 4 h off-peak. The main bottleneck is the S8 between Lodz and Warsaw and the city entry along Zwirki i Wigury Street during the 7-9 and 16-19 peaks. The service operates 24/7, so we also handle early Chopin departures (LOT to New York JFK 10:55, Lufthansa to Frankfurt 6:25) after an overnight arrival into KRK. We recommend a 5 hour buffer before a Warsaw long-haul departure. The driver pulls up at the KRK terminal with a name board, tracks the flight live and delivers you to the Warsaw Chopin departure terminal (Zone A or B, matched to your flight number).

Common questions

FAQ

How long is the Krakow Balice to Warsaw Modlin transfer?

Typically 4 h - 4 h 30 min off-peak. The route follows the A4 to the Lodz junction, then A1 and S7 through Plonsk, with the final approach along Nasielska Street. In the afternoon peak (4-7 PM) the S7 adds 20-30 min. We back-plan against the departure time.

How much buffer should I leave before a Modlin departure?

We recommend 3 hours before a WMI departure. Ryanair closes bag drop 40 minutes before takeoff and Modlin has a single terminal with limited check-in desks — queues at peak hours are real. We build the plan with a margin for Nasielska Street.

My flight into Krakow is delayed — what happens?

We track the flight in real time and shift pickup automatically. 60 minutes of free waiting is included. If the delay threatens the WMI departure, one direct contact line stays open — we operate 24/7 and routinely handle overnight transfers to early Ryanair departures.

Can I add a stop on route Krakow Balice Airport (KRK) -> Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI)?

Yes. Planned stops and waiting windows can be included within a single booking.

Will I receive route confirmation before pickup?

Yes. Core timing and operational details are confirmed before dispatch.
