1 hour clears the 40-minute international minimum connection time at Okecie, but you should still head directly to your gate.

Passengers moving between Schengen and non-Schengen piers pass through internal passport/security checkpoints, which is where most of the connection time is actually spent rather than in walking distance.

LOT and partner airline transfer desks are located near the pier junctions in the main terminal hall; passengers who miss a connection should go there directly for rebooking rather than returning to check-in.
