Recent Traveller Feedback
Transited through Warsaw Chopin Airport on my way to Prague. Security follows the standard 100 ml liquid rule for carry on just like everywhere else in the EU. I had my travel size toiletries in a clear plastic bag and they passed through without any issues. The security line at WAW moved faster than I expected.
Booked the Standard fare from Warsaw to London Heathrow and had one 22 kg checked bag included. The Saver fare would have been cheaper but comes with zero free bags so Standard was worth it for me. Check in was quick at WAW Terminal A and my bag came out on the carousel at LHR within twenty minutes.
Flew LOT from Warsaw to Berlin on a Standard economy ticket. My 8 kg carry-on measured 55 cm and fit easily in the overhead bin on the Embraer jet. I also brought a small backpack as my personal item and nobody questioned it. Boarding at WAW was organized and staff did not weigh any bags at the gate.
