Seven free minutes at the Terminal A curb
Kiss and Fly sits directly next to Warsaw Chopin’s Terminal A, using the same curbside lane system as the main drop-off zone, and runs on strict time-based billing. It’s built for quick handoffs, not for waiting out delays or leisurely goodbyes.
The meter starts the moment you enter: the first 0–7 minutes are free, minutes 7–15 jump to 30 PLN, and every additional minute after that costs 1 PLN. One Warsaw parking guide flat-out warns you don’t want to be the car still at the curb at minute eight.
Because the pricing spikes so fast after the 7‑minute mark, regulars often stay on the airport access roads until they get a text saying the passenger is already outside at Terminal A with bags in hand. Then they swing into Kiss and Fly, aiming to be back out of the lane in under seven minutes.
For arrivals, the harsh part is that there’s zero grace if the flight is late or baggage claim drags on for 20 minutes. Parking comparison sites call out that those delays quickly turn a “free” pickup into a 30+ PLN bill at Kiss and Fly, and that’s before the 1 PLN-per-minute clock really starts to hurt.
Watch out for the temptation to sit curbside and “just wait a bit” at Terminal A; that’s how you slide past 7 minutes without noticing and pay 30 PLN for a short stop. Set a timer as soon as you enter the Kiss and Fly lane, and don’t pull in at all until your passenger texts that they’re already at the curb.
