There is no proper 24 by 7 service, even in Warsaw center.
As for the routes which serve the airport -
the 175 doesn't start running until 05;00, similarly the 188, as for the 331 that starts at 06:00, while the Nocny runs once every 30 minutes, from near the Pałac Kultury.
If someone lives in Ząbki - they need to get to the 190 which starts running at cerca 04:20 and gets you to Metro Ratusz at 4:45. then you need to get to Centrum and connect to the 05:00 no. 175 which gets to the airport at 05:23. That means you can't take a flight earlier than 06:20.

I warrant a single individual without any physical handicaps and travelling with a 21 inch suitcase could make these transfers, however, a single parent with two children? A person travelling with two 24 inch suitcases? A person with mobility issues, i.e. a cane or walker. I don't think so.
Looking at Zabki you mentioned, it's the same concept during the night and the day. One transfer in the city, except at night it's at Dworzec Centralny (the night bus transfer point) rather than at Centrum, the main difference being that at Centrum you need to walk between bus platforms, whereas at Dw. Centralny they stop more or less right next to each other. Which one is better for your disabled traveller?

[OT] Public transport aside, I will be claiming the prizes praises from Ząbki's city council (or Urząd Miasta) for all the free advertisement on FT. 
Merely for the records, I have no connection to the town itself, it just came to my head, possibly because a few months back we got invited to a birthday party at the local swimming pool.

Admittedly I haven't been following the CPK saga at all (possibly because I'm not planning to be around in about 65 years' time...), but have the building works even started? Or are we still at political (i.e., BS) and/or infrastructural (renderings and all that) grandeur stage?
Edit: oliver2002 possibly extra work for you but I seem to remember a thread discussing CPK, we could perhaps merge the above posts into that one. Ta.
