Cheap flights from Barcelona to Warsaw

November is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is also one of the quietest, so seats are easy to find. Fares climb through the summer school holidays and again around Christmas and New Year, when Poles fly home and visitors arrive for the markets. Spring and early autumn sit in the middle. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday ones, and booking a few weeks ahead beats leaving it to the last days before you fly.

Wizz Air, Ryanair, Vueling Airlines, Easyjet, Transavia France and Norwegian International are the low-cost names here, and they sell seat-only fares: a cabin bag and a checked bag cost extra, so add them before you compare totals. Iberia flies as a full-service carrier, where a cabin bag and often a checked one come with the ticket. Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK and EasyJet Europe are group arms of the same low-cost families, so the brand on your booking may differ from the one you searched. Direct service is the norm, so you rarely need to change planes.

Warsaw has two airports. F. Chopin, the main one, sits close to the city and is linked to the centre by train and bus, so you can be in town quickly. Modlin lies well outside the city to the north and needs a shuttle bus or a train connection onward, which adds time to the journey. Check which airport your flight uses before you arrange a transfer, because the two are not interchangeable. Taxis and ride-hailing apps work at both, but confirm the fare or the app price before you set off.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight lands at, since F. Chopin and Modlin sit on opposite sides of the city.
• On a low-cost fare, add a cabin bag and a checked bag before you compare the total with a full-service ticket.
• If your trip is stitched from separate tickets, leave a long gap in case the first leg runs late.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland and make sure it stays valid for your whole stay.
• Book November travel early if you want the lowest fares, and treat the summer and Christmas peaks as the expensive ones.
• Confirm the terminal and departure time on the day, because airlines on this route shift schedules between seasons.
