Going to the city during long layover at Warsaw Chopin Airport
In a couple of days I'll be flying with LOT airline with a transfer in Warsaw Chopin Airport. I have about 12 hours between my flights (as scheduled) - I am arriving at around 10 am and my next flight departs around 10:30 pm.
Having essentially a whole day, I'm planning to go into the city. My luggage will be checked through (I verified with the airline), so I'll only have my small backpack with me - so much easier to deal with. I don't need a visa as I'm a UK citizen. From previous experience, LOT doesn't give me the boarding pass for the second flight, so I'll need to get that in Warsaw - before going to the city, naturally.
Other than the usual "make sure to be back on time", is there anything specific I need to be aware of with my plan?
Please note that this question is not about what to do in Warsaw for a day (I already have an itinerary in mind) and not about how to get to the city and back (I did my research on that front, too).

If you're on a budget: 24h city transportation ticket is really cheaper than buy short-tern tickets each time. Check foursquare, soup can be found in ~5zl, quite good lunch in 15zl
if not on budget - city taxi must have price displayed at the door, so you'll know what you'll have to pay before you get that car.
Check weather forecast - it's almost cold there right now. (+umbrella)

Yes, you can leave the airport during domestic layovers. For instance, if you're a US citizen and have a layover within the country, it is legal and safe to leave the airport. Be aware that you'll probably be getting two boarding passes if the domestic layover is more than an hour.Can you visit a city during a layover?

Yes, you can leave the airport during a layover, provided your passport allows you visa-free entry to the country you're in and you have enough time between flights.
