This train is suitable both for travellers covering a shorter section, for example from Warsaw to Katowice, and for those planning the entire route to Bogumin.

Tickets for the route from Warszawa Wschodnia start at several dozen zlotys. The final price depends on the seat category. The IC Intercity standard is the cheapest, while Pendolino is the most expensive, with the difference reaching several times the basic ticket price. PolishTrains shows both categories next to each other in the search results, so comparing the cost before choosing a seat takes just a moment.
Among passengers departing from Warszawa Wschodnia, the most tickets are bought just before departure, one or two days in advance. A considerable number reserve a seat several weeks ahead.
