Warsaw Modlin: planning your departure from WMI
HopTrip · Reviewed
When comparing WMI with WAW, calculate each transfer separately. A cheaper flight does not necessarily mean a cheaper departure from Warsaw. Modlin needs its own transport plan; the rail option also involves changing to a bus before reaching the terminal.

Modlin Station is not a terminal
Mazowieckie railways indicate no direct rail connection to the terminal. You go to the Modlin station and then you switch to the KM airport bus. The stop at the station is located in front of the station building and at the airport — at the entrance marked as Arrivals.
Allow for both legs and the wait between them. Searching only for a train to Modlin station leaves the airport journey incomplete.
Check what your ticket includes
Bilet Lotniskowy KM includes a train journey between Warsaw stations and Modlin, plus the bus to the airport. With another railway ticket, check the bus fare separately. The current KM page states that the bus driver does not sell tickets, so buy yours in advance.
A direct coach can change the number of transfers
The airport also lists direct coaches from Warsaw and services to other cities. Compare the exact stop, booking terms and terminal arrival time with the rail option. Do not choose an operator just because the search result says “Warsaw”.
Return after midnight
Check the last bus to the station and further train as one trip. After a delayed landing, the availability of the first leg does not guarantee that you can make the second. Prepare an alternative for the whole group and compare its cost with possible accommodation; do not assume that the terminal will replace the booked room.
