Domestic flying: LO3931 & LO3950

One morning I woke up and thought "How about a flight in the near future? Perhaps a new city somewhere in my country?" and that is how I got the idea to fly to Szczecin and Poznań. Domestic travel in Poland is getting quicker and quicker both by train and by bus. New highways are being built and railways are upgraded. I would even tend to say that on some routes, when traveling P2P the train is the best option when compared to taking a coach and flying (ex. Warsaw to Gdansk/Cracow/Poznań/Katowice/maybe Wrocław). Nevertheless I have managed to find a cheap, open-jaw combination for WAW-SZZ/POZ-WAW flying out in the morning (which gives an entire day in SZZ), taking an evening train to Poznań and returning the next day in the evening from POZ (which gives me an entire day in POZ). Killing two birds with one stone - visiting new places and flying on new routes. So to the flights themselves.

Viewing terrace and a "new" terminal. 2015.05.23

After more than two years of construction work, the "new" terminal has been opened on the 22nd of May 2015. Or rather reopened. Now the entire airport area is one. No longer do parts dramatically differ from each other. It is clean, spacious with lots of chairs to sit or lay on. The opening added baggage belts to the 5 existing ones at the arrivals level and also check-in counters, stores and shops for departing passengers. A McDonald has been opened both air- and land-side for the first time in Warsaw Airport history. You can still see the decorations (mostly balloons) which accompanied the opening ceremony. Together with the grand opening a new website for the airport has been officially launched and some changes have been made in the organization of car movements at the terminal (detailed maps at the bottom).
Also, a viewing terrace has been reopened. Although in a different form than before and in a slightly different spot it is good news for families and people who just want to simply have a look at the planes. The terrace has a glass wall, but you still are a bit on fresh air because the wall isn't connected with the roof. The glass surely will be a problem when photo-shooting, it will get dirty, it will reflect other lights, it will get greasy and it is at an angle to the floor. Heat haze will be disturbing for those wanting a quality photo or two. The location has been also moved away from the tarmac so you are unable to see planes standing near the terminal. The only things you'll be able to photograph in a way are: planes landing and departing, planes taxiing and planes standing at apron 5B. For the thirsty ones there is a bar and a souvenir shop located beside the terrace. Also, for your convenience there are screens with the timetable and a screen with the radar situation around the airport.
The entrance is located near the exit from the railway station. There is no direct passage to the terminal itself.
