Flights to Warsaw
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Warsaw is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, whose 12,106-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI, 35 km), Warsaw Radom Airport (RDO, 94 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warsaw Chopin Airport | WAW | 8 km (5 mi) | 12,106 ft | 362 ft |
| Warsaw Modlin Airport | WMI | 35 km (22 mi) | 8,202 ft | 341 ft |
| Warsaw Radom Airport (regional) | RDO | 94 km (58 mi) | 8,202 ft | 610 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,106 ft, WAW can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 362 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
