Sometimes you don't need to leave your car for long — you just need to drop someone off for a flight or pick up a person coming back. That's what the kiss & fly zone is for: a short, free or cheap stop right by the terminal.
What is the kiss & fly zone?
It is a designated area close to the terminal for a very short stop — to drop off or pick up a passenger with luggage, without looking for a long-term parking space. There is usually a time limit (a few minutes), after which you pay like at a regular car park. Always check the current rules on the airport's website.
How to pick someone up from Kraków Airport without stress
If you are not sure when the flight will land (for example because of a delay), instead of circling around the kiss & fly zone it is easier to wait in a regular car park and drive up once the person is actually in the arrivals hall. That way you avoid the time limit and any extra fee.
The alternative: parking with a shuttle instead of kiss & fly
If you are the one flying and someone would only drop you off and collect you, consider leaving your own car at a car park with a free shuttle instead of asking family or friends to drive to the airport twice. It saves their time and removes the stress of time limits.
- Kiss & fly works for a very short, precisely planned stop.
- When the landing time is uncertain, a regular parking space is safer.
- Leaving your car at a car park with a shuttle is often easier than involving someone else.
