You get a bus from the airport to the train station. There is a shuttle bus waiting after the flight arrives. And it departs about 11.50. The ticket price is 6 PLN.
Then you get a fast ("pospesny") train to Premysl. Make sure you buy a full "pospesny" ticket type otherwise you may have trouble with conductors on the train. If they are nasty they can try to charge you with a 80PLN fine. The fast ("pospesny") train starts about 12.43 or something like this. The full ticket costs 20+PLN.
Then a minibus to Medyka. There are always minibuses waiting when you come out of the underground passage from the train station - on the side where the bus station is. The minibus costs 2 PLN.
Then a short drive to the border, then on foot across the border. After the minibus stops you can just follow the people - the foot crossing is on the left of the main crossing gateway fro cars and buses.
Actually it's quite a gloomy entrance to Ukraine. It was really dirty and full of Ukrainian and Polish dodgy people smuggling cigarettes and alcohol across the border. Though it's usually a fast way through.
Then - about 100 meters along a road from the border towards Lviv there is a bus station where you can take a minibus to Lviv. It was also quite dodgy - first the minibus was really packed, but then some people get off on the first stop in the next village and it was ok. It's about 1.5 hour drive to Lviv. The price was 8.5 hryvnias.
Have a nice time in Lviv
