We fly to Warsaw from Ukraine for 3 days, according to a biometric passport
We are flying to see the city for the first time. We do not know the language, the insurance is made, the hotel room is booked. How to cross the border without knowing the language? How to answer? What are they asking? And on the way back how to explain to the front desk that you registered online and check in on the phone? How to go through security before boarding a plane at Warsaw airport? You can tell in detail who flew, otherwise it was the first time, I would like to know all the nuances.

Firstly, the border guards may well explain themselves (they understand Russian, English, Ukrainian).
Secondly, to say, as we are in Stockholm: "Tourists.
Weekend".
The Poles ask how long they arrived. Have on hand printouts of hotel reservations and a return ticket. If there is no ticket yet (registration 48 hours in advance), then it’s all the same, either its reservation or a transport receipt ..
On the way back, show the phone with the registration. You will even pass into the departure zone by applying it to the scanner. No one needs to explain anything, look at other passengers and do the same.
The control before boarding will take place in Warsaw in the same way as in Ukraine. Prohibited items may not be taken in hand luggage.
What carrier are you flying with?

And what is there to talk about with them .... they gave away the passport, this is possible without words. Well, they will ask where_why, this can be understood. That's all. And if you register online, then you don’t have to go there. In extreme cases, you can show on the phone.

I agree with the previous speaker - the border guards usually do not start talking, they stamped the passport, looked at the face, rolled their fingers and come on, goodbye. But even if they want to ask something, the Polish language is still similar to Russian and Ukrainian, you will understand each other somehow.

Colleagues, let me disagree) I fly through Warsaw several times a year, so I say that the Poles always ask where, how much and for what purpose you are flying. It is they who "indulge in conversations"))) Therefore, I repeat: you must have confirmation of your words.
Yes, I did not show the tickets, but only said that I was in transit and tomorrow morning I have a plane to another country. It was. But everyone who said that they were going to Poland was asked in more detail.
If online check-in and there is luggage, then how to bypass the check-in desk? Be sure to come)
If you only have hand luggage (which is logical when traveling for 3 days + LOT has 8 kg), then go straight to security, putting your phone to the scanner and showing the ticket on the screen a couple of times during inspection and on boarding.
Don't worry, there will be other passengers and airport workers near you. Have a good trip!

Again, 25, from Barnaul, of course, you know better what kind of relationship the border guards have with Ukrainian tourists :)
An interrogation can be arranged and even a search of luggage.
You must have a printout of your return ticket, insurance and a printout of your hotel reservation.
They ask where you will spend the night, what is the purpose of the visit, etc. On the way back, they can ask all the same - what did they do, where did they spend the night.
And another tip - Warsaw is the dullest (in terms of tourism) city in Poland. Stories 0. The entire historical part is a remake, because was blown up by the Germans in 1945, every building in the historical center, and after the war rebuilt according to photographs.
I witnessed how the Poles themselves dissuaded a German tourist from going to Warsaw. Look around what you can visit, what castles, etc. There is nothing to do in Warsaw itself.

We returned from Poland a week ago. Were for the first time. It was the longest border crossing in my memory. The border guard girl studied my passport with such care that it seemed she wanted to memorize all the stamps. Apparently checked the dates of entry and exit from the country. Asked 2 questions:
1. Am I visiting Poland for the first time?
2. Am I traveling for tourism purposes?
The same lengthy check was on the road. The border guard also studied all the stamps in the passport for a long time. But he didn't ask questions.

At the entrance, just in case, they carried printouts from Booking, insurance contracts and the VizzAir application on their phone, where they could see the purchased return tickets. But, this was not required. Perhaps because we had enough stamps from the Schengen countries.

kolyan_cat, as they say, if your hands itch, scratch elsewhere. They can arrange an interrogation, that's why I write about the intelligibility of the Polish language. But most often they look at documents, and not start conversations.

Of course, we, who travel every week and see everything live, do not see everything as well as from Barnaul. Well, this is understandable, "big is better seen at a distance."

Guys, don't complicate simple things. What are you writing?
First of all. Warsaw is a beautiful tourist city. See Stare Mesto, ancient universities, the Royal Castle, the Palace of Culture and Science and much more.
Secondly. When I was in Poland, I told our new Polish friends on the second day.
Your language is warped Ukrainian.
To which they replied with a smile. Or maybe it's Ukrainian warped Polish?
Therefore, do not understand the Pole Ukrainian at all?
