About this route
Route overview
The WAW -> GDN inter-airport route is the classic business and family connection: a Chopin arrival followed by a continuation out of Gdansk Lech Walesa toward the Tricity, shipyard partners in Gdynia, or onward via KLM through Schiphol to long-haul destinations. 340 km via the S7 to the Elblag junction and the A1 into the Tricity, 3 h 30 min - 4 h 15 min off-peak. The bottlenecks are the S7 around Mlawa and the S6 entry into the Tricity on Friday afternoons and during the summer season. GDN is a hub for LOT, KLM (daily Schiphol service with long-haul connections), Wizz Air and Lufthansa. The service runs 24/7, so we handle both early GDN departures (LOT to Warsaw 6:40, KLM to Amsterdam 7:10) and overnight misconnects after long Chopin delays. We recommend a 3 hour buffer before a European flight from GDN and 4-5 hours for a long-haul connection via Schiphol. The chauffeur pulls up at the Chopin departures terminal (Zone A or B, matched to your flight number), monitors the schedule and delivers you to GDN terminal T2. Mercedes E-Class for 1-3 passengers from EUR 1,500, V-Class for 4-6 with luggage from EUR 1,850.
