I pointed out this typical mistake, which some people copy, and mislead others. Okecie is the name of the district where the airport is located.
The sad result is that people (Polish as well as foreigners) visiting Warsaw see a bus displaying direction "Okęcie" - and they hop on it thinking they are going to the airport.
Whilst I have no interest in responding to your petty assertions (you made my day with the last sentence, though, about Polish people and foreigners being mislead by Okęcie when heading to the airport... Please, do us a favour...), the airport is, however, commonly known/referred to as
Warszawa-Okęcie or
Lotnisko Chopina (as a matter of fact, it used to be called, officially,
Port Lotniczy Warszawa-Okęcie). Needless to say (and, after that, it's ignore mode-on), I didn't start the thread thinking about people visiting Warsaw or, even worse, intending to get involved in a geography lesson concerning the actual district where the airport is located. Funnily enough and adding to misery, the airport itself is not located in the Okęcie district as wrongly stated by yourself, but within Włochy (and, indeed, the former is part of the latter). And on that note...
