Warsaw
Routing through Warsaw Chopin International Airport gave me enough time for a long layover in Warsaw that felt like a real mini city break, not just time to kill between flights. After taking the train into the city and storing my bag at Warsaw Central Station, I explored on foot and by Metro, focusing on an easy route that worked well for a 6–12 hour Warsaw layover itinerary.
I started with a walk along the Vistula River, passed local hangout spots, and then headed into Warsaw’s Old Town (Stare Miasto) for the classic sights and colorful streets. Highlights included Castle Square, Sigismund’s Column, and the panoramic views from St. Anne’s Church Bell Tower—one of my favorite viewpoints in the city. I also reached the Warsaw Barbican (city walls) and the Warsaw Uprising Monument, which added historical context to the day.
When the jet lag finally caught up with me, I booked a few hours at the Kapsula Capsule Hotel Warsaw to rest and reset before returning to the airport. If you’re wondering what to do on a Warsaw layover from Chopin Airport, this route shows what’s realistically possible without rushing.
I flew LOT Premium Economy from Chicago to Warsaw and Business Class on the return flight to compare the two cabins on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. At 6′5″, I had plenty of room to sit in Premium Economy, but I struggled to sleep for long in its reclining seat.
The Business Class bed was about two inches too short for me to stretch out fully, yet I still slept for more than four hours. In this review, I compare the seats, meals, amenities, and service, along with what I paid for my upgrades in 2022 and 2023. I also share which cabin I would choose again and when I think paying more makes sense.
