Krakow - Train between Airport and Main station
Is the train between KRK airport and the main station currently running ? I can not find anything on the website of the operator it does not run (https://www.kolejemalopolskie.com.pl...otniskoairport) but Google Maps does not propose it as an option to go from the airport to the train station.

It seems like it is running indeed but not an option in popular route search engine:Google Maps, Rome2Rio, Apple Plans are all proposing me to use the bus and do not list the train as existing. Weird but not an issue.

There's something strange going on indeed, Google Maps is not even showing the airport train station (even though the tracks and the platform are clearly visible in satellite view).

Oh, and here actual departure times from Krakow Glowny (main railway station): KRAKW GŁWNY - PKP PLK S.A. timetable, departure times and ticket prices - Passenger Portal - PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. (portalpasazera.pl)
The SKA1 trains are going to Krakow Lotnisko, the airport. Still, my last time on that train was in February 2009, when the main reason for my visit was attending the world junior speedskating championships in Zakopane, about 2 hrs by bus away from Krakow. That was my first time in Poland, had a great time in Zakopane. Sorry, nothing to do with your post OP, just bringing back memories

Moovit app shows the train as one of options. I use Moovit where Google Maps is weak.
Depends on where you go, bus (then tram) may be more convenient. Tickets can be purchased onboard bus and most trams, including multiple day passes (a bit tricky to find, ask fellow pax for help) with credit cards.
