Poznan-Lawica Airport is approximately 7 km west of the city centre. This page collects what the airport and the city transport authority say that matters when you travel with children.
Before and during the flight
The airport states that a baby stroller can be taken on the plane free of charge. It is checked in at check-in or left at the airport right next to the plane, tagged like your luggage, and travels in the hold. Baby food, including formula milk, liquid milk, water and fruit juices, may be carried in the quantity needed for the flight; it is screened for security. Rules differ by airline, so read your carrier's conditions.
For travel within the Schengen area a child must have a valid ID card or passport. For countries outside the Schengen area the child needs a valid passport and a visa if required.
Getting to the city by bus
ZTM city buses serve the airport: the airport lists lines 159 and 148 and the night line 222, with an estimated 20-25 minutes from the city centre. With children and bags, remember that you buy tickets at the kiosks in the departure terminal or at the machine at the bus stop outside the terminal (coins only). ZTM offers a Family 24h promotion: two normal 24-hour tickets validated at the same time cover 2 adults and up to 3 children up to the age of 18. A 24-hour ticket for zone A costs PLN 18. Check the ZTM price list for the full conditions.
Taxi and pre-booked transfer
A taxi or a pre-booked transfer avoids the walk to the stop and any change of vehicle. The airport recommends taxi corporations that cooperate with it and says they can park directly at the arrivals hall. We found no official flat fare, so ask how the fare is calculated.
For a pre-booked transfer, request the child seat when booking and confirm your child's age and weight so the right type is arranged. A larger vehicle can be requested for strollers and bags. Do not assume a taxi at the rank has a child seat; ask the operator beforehand.
Child seat rules
Child restraint rules differ between countries and between taxis and private vehicles. We did not verify the current Polish rule for this guide, so confirm it with an official source or with your transfer provider, and request a seat in advance if you need one.
Luggage logistics
With a stroller, a car seat and several suitcases, a bus ride means carrying everything on and off. State the number of people and bags when you book a transfer so the vehicle size fits.
Before you leave home
The airport reminds passengers to arrive at least two hours before departure. With children, build in extra margin and confirm document requirements with your airline and the airport.
