Cheap flights from Athens to Warsaw

March is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar carries fares for every month of the year, so you can weigh a spring trip against a summer one before you commit. Athens to Warsaw fares climb for summer departures and around public holidays in Greece and Poland, when both visiting-family and business traffic pick up. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights. Booking early beats leaving it to the last minute, and if your dates are flexible, look at the quiet weeks on either side of the peaks rather than the peaks themselves.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet and Ryanair all sell seats on this route, usually as point-to-point tickets where the fare covers your seat and a small bag, with everything else added at checkout. Aegean Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines are the full-service names, and both are worth checking when you want one ticket for the whole journey instead of separate legs. Sky Express, Scandinavian Airlines, Bulgaria Air and Hahn Air also show up in results, often on connecting itineraries rather than nonstop. Compare what each fare actually includes before you pick on price alone.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin sits close to the city and takes most of the traffic; Modlin lies further out to the north and handles a lot of low-cost arrivals, so check which one your ticket names before you arrange a transfer. From Chopin the centre is a short train, bus or taxi ride away. From Modlin the journey into town is longer, and coaches timed to flight arrivals are the usual way in. Both airports have car hire and ride-hailing pick-up. If you land late, sort your onward transport before you fly, because Modlin gets quiet once the last arrivals clear.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket names, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and the transfer is different from each.
• Confirm what your low-cost fare includes, since Wizz Air, Easyjet and Ryanair fares on this route often cover hand baggage only.
• If your itinerary has a stop, make sure it is one ticket rather than two separate bookings.
• Check the entry rules for Poland and carry the right documents before you fly.
• Compare the price calendar instead of assuming March is cheapest for your exact dates.
• Leave extra time for the journey out to Eleftherios Venizelos before an early departure.
