Peak-hour bus 331 runs straight from WAW to Wilanowska
Bus 331 is a regular Warsaw city bus linking Warsaw Chopin Airport (terminal A) with Wilanowska Metro Station on line M1, using standard ZTM tickets that cost about $1–2. It mainly serves commuters heading between the airport area and residential or office zones rather than tourists going downtown, so expect locals with monthly passes more than luggage trolleys.
The bus stops at the airport’s public transport zone in front of terminal A, on the same island used by other ZTM routes like 175 and 188, and it runs only on weekdays with service concentrated during morning and afternoon peaks. Head signs show “331 Wilanowska,” and the ride to Metro Wilanowska usually takes around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic on Puławska and nearby arterials.
Frequency sits at roughly every 15–20 minutes in peak periods according to ZTM timetables, so it’s tighter than some all-day routes but useless late at night or on weekends when 331 simply doesn’t operate. If you miss one departure, check the digital boards at the stop or the ZTM or Jakdojade app to see the next real-time bus slot so you’re not guessing.
You pay using the regular Warsaw integrated ticket system, so a 20‑minute or 75‑minute ZTM ticket (about $1–2) covers the whole airport–Wilanowska run in Zone 1. Validate paper tickets in the yellow machines right after boarding Bus 331 or tap a contactless card on the on-board validator if using the “tap and go” solution rolled out across most of the fleet.
At Wilanowska, Bus 331 drops you by the station that sits on metro line M1, giving you a rail link north toward stations like Politechnika and Centrum without changing zones or buying a different ticket. The same ZTM ticket also covers any same-ticket transfer to trams and buses from that hub as long as you stay inside the time printed on the ticket, which is 20 or 75 minutes for the common short options.
Since Bus 331 mostly targets commuters in the north-west corridor, it makes more sense if your office or accommodation sits near Wilanowska, Służew or along Puławska than if you’re headed to the Old Town. If your plans are flexible, check the weekday timetable on the ZTM site before your flight and line up your landing with a peak-hour run instead of standing 18 minutes in winter rain.
Practical tip: If you land outside weekday peaks or need direct access to central Warsaw, skip 331 and use buses 175 or 188, or the SKM trains S2/S3, then keep 331 in mind only for weekday airport–office park commutes via Wilanowska.
