Taxi wins if you...

  • Arrive after 22:00 — SKM stops running
  • Travel with children or heavy luggage
  • Are 2+ passengers — per-person cost becomes competitive
  • Value door-to-door convenience after a long flight
  • Don't want to navigate Polish public transport on your first day
  • Have a tight onward connection (hotel check-in, meeting)

SKM wins if you...

  • Travel solo with only a backpack or carry-on
  • Are on a tight budget and not time-pressured
  • Arrive during daytime (before 22:00) in good weather
  • Are already familiar with Tri-City public transport

A note on the "airport SKM station"

The SKM station is not inside the airport terminal — it's a separate building reached by a ~10-minute walk (or short taxi hop) from the arrivals hall. Google Maps will guide you, but the outdoor walkway lacks cover and can be uncomfortable with luggage in rain or winter. Consider this when comparing options.
