Katowice Airport in Pyrzowice: getting to KTW

HopTrip · Reviewed

KTW port is located in Pyrzowice. When planning to leave Katowice, Gliwice or Częstochowa, start with your own starting point: driving through the centre of Katowice is not the only option. Compare the route of the bus and railway for the check-in time.

AP and lines from other cities

ZTM lists AP between Katowice Sądowa and Pyrzowice Port Lotniczy. Other connections include M19 from Sosnowiec and Będzin, M14 through Gliwice, Zabrze and Bytom, and M11 and M116. Check the full route and current stops before buying a ticket.

If you arrive by train to Katowice, count the access to the AP departure point. The name of the city on the train ticket does not mean that the airport bus leaves directly from your platform.

After the train, allow for the walk to the terminal

The airport places Pyrzowice Lotnisko station approximately 500 metres from the terminals, reached by a paved footpath. It publishes rail connections and timetable links. Allow for the walk, especially with heavy luggage or in rain.

Set the appropriate terminal before arrival

Check your booking confirmation and the airport displays for your flight’s check-in location. Whoever drives you should know the drop-off point as well as the airport name. On return, arrange to meet after leaving baggage reclaim; the departure terminal and pick-up point may be different places.

Comparison with Krakow and late return

If you choose between KTW and KRK, count both journeys, parking lot and time after arrival. Do not assume that a daily train connection will be available at night. Check the specific course and reserve variant before booking the flight; savings on the ticket may disappear after adding transport for the entire group.
