4 hours layover at WAW - what to do?
We have a 4 hour layover at WAW, coming from YYZ-WAW, then WAW-CDG both on LOT J
Landing at 12:15 then departing at 16:35 for CDG. 4 hours seems like too short to explore the city, so I'm wondering what activities we can do at the airport. I noticed there are 2 LOT lounges on the airside, beside the lounges, any other recommendations?
Thanks for your input

You can simply check-in your flight to CDG, catch a train from the nearby station and get down to central Warsaw for a walk & a meal - perfectly doable, mainly considering that the train only takes roughly 25 minutes (one way). In case the weather is rubbish, then WAW airport is a nice place to spend a few hours. In your case, you've even got lounge access so even better (lounge Polonez for you - not bad at all).

4 hours is too short for a stress free ride into the city.
You would be stick your eyes at the watch instead of sightseeing.
The lounge is not too bad. If you're *A Gold you can also access a reserved area within the same lounge (Schengen side).

Thanks for the recommendations. factoring in possible delays I'll probably skip the city and just stay at the airport.
I'm on a J ticket, so assuming lounge access is granted.
Anyone can chime in which lounge is better? Polonez or Bolero?

Polonez is in the Schengen side, where your flight to CDG will depart from.
You should also have access to the "Elite Club" part thanks to your J ticket, which is the nicest lounge in WAW. Past the bathrooms there's a quite spot with some lounge chairs, so you can just relax for the couple hours.
