Cheap flights from Athens to Poznan

May is the cheapest month on this route, so aim for it if your dates can move. Fares are also shown for September through December and for January and February, which covers the autumn term, the run-up to Christmas and the winter visiting season. Spring and early autumn are the comfortable middle ground in Poznan, with mild days and no need for heavy layers. Greek travel around Easter and the Polish long weekends at the start of May push demand up, so book early for those weeks. Midweek departures out of Athens are usually quieter and cheaper than Friday and Sunday flights.

The airline mix here is wide, which is good news for comparing. Easyjet, Wizz Air UK and Buzz are the low-cost names, and their fares are built around hand luggage, with everything else added on. ITA Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Austrian and Edelweiss Air are the full-service carriers, where a connection through a hub and a different baggage allowance are more likely. Sky Express and CitizenPlane also appear on the route. Direct flights exist, but not every carrier on the list flies non-stop, so read the routing before you compare totals, and check what each fare includes before you decide.

You land at Poznan Lawica, the city's only airport, and it sits a short ride from the centre. A taxi or a ride-hailing car gets you into town quickly, and local buses run between the terminal and the centre through the day. The building is compact, so getting from the gate to the exit rarely takes long, though the late-evening arrivals bank is the busiest part of the day. If you are on a connecting itinerary, check whether your bags are checked through to Poznan or whether you pick them up at the transfer airport. Once you are in the centre, the old town, the trade fair grounds and the main rail station are all easy to reach on foot or by tram.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm your departure airport is Eleftherios Venizelos, since Athens has a single airport and there is nothing else to mix up.
• On low-cost fares, price the cabin and checked baggage you actually need before you compare totals.
• If the trip is built from separate tickets, leave plenty of room between flights, because a missed connection is not covered.
• Check your passport or identity card is valid for the whole trip, including the return leg.
• Book early for May and for the spring long weekends, when demand from both cities rises.
• Fares on this route are shown for September to December, January, February and May, so search further ahead if your dates fall outside those months.
