Arrivals
Chopin funnels every arrival into one arrivals hall, past passport control and the baggage reclaim. Collect oversized items from the outsize baggage belt before you walk out. Your e-ticket names your driver, shows the vehicle registration and gives you a number to ring. Check the airport code on your boarding pass: WAW is Chopin, inside the city, and WMI is Modlin, 40 km outside it.
Private transfers
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, past the barrier, holding a sign that shows your name or the 'hoppa' logo.
Minibuses and coaches
Walk out to the coach stand, signed from the terminal doors. Give your headcount at booking so the right size is parked there.
Delays & Driver Info
1
Free waiting time
You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts, which covers a slow passport queue and the wait for an outsize item.
Delayed, diverted or landing early?
Your driver follows your flight from the moment you board. Winter fog on the Masovian plain is the local hazard and occasionally sends an arrival to Modlin, Łódź or Kraków. Your driver sees it before the hall does and will contact you to reposition or rebook. A delayed flight simply moves your pick-up, with nothing for you to do.

Can't find your driver?
Stay inside the arrivals hall, past the barrier and call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa's team picks up in an average of 11 seconds, a 99.7% call answer rate: a real person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The hoppa help centre answers most questions before you need to call.
What to do around Warsaw?
If your flight out leaves late in the day, the city repays an afternoon.
- The Old Town was rebuilt from paintings and rubble after 1945 and sits on the UNESCO list for the scale of that reconstruction.
- Chopin's heart is interred in a pillar of the Church of the Holy Cross on Krakowskie Przedmieście, a short walk down the Royal Route.
- Łazienki Park keeps peacocks, a palace on an island and free piano recitals under the Chopin monument in warmer months.
- The Warsaw Rising Museum explains the city you are standing in better than anything else in it, and takes a full afternoon.
