Luggage storage
The standard airport luggage storage facility is not available.
You can only use the automated lockers on the pavement near the P1 car park. The daily fee ranges from 22 pln to 25 pln depending on the size of your luggage, and payment can only be made by card.
There are only 27 lockers available, and they are often all occupied. Further automated luggage lockers are available at the main railway station in the centre of Warsaw.
ATMs and currency exchange bureaux
Currency exchange bureaux throughout the airport offer very unfavourable exchange rates, and we recommend avoiding them.
The ATMs at the airport are operated exclusively by Euronet, which charges a high withdrawal fee and applies a very unfavourable exchange rate.
Showers
Free public showers have not been available at the airport since 2021.
Drinking water
There are several drinking fountains beyond the security checkpoint where you can fill your own bottle with cold drinking water.
Viewing terrace
Before your flight, take some time to visit the covered viewing terrace, from where you can see the airport apron and the runway.
The terrace is accessible only from the public area; the entrance is located near the train station.
It is open from 6.00 am to 10.00 pm and admission is free.
Vending machines
In both the public and transit areas, you can use the many vending machines offering drinks, sweets and sandwiches for a quick bite to eat.
Smoking areas
Smokers can make use of very small, ventilated cubicles at several locations beyond the security checkpoint.
