Cheap flights from Birmingham to Warsaw

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the run-up to Christmas and New Year fills quickly, so those dates reward early booking. Outside the winter holidays, the calmer months for fares are September through November and January into February, while June and July carry the summer crowds and the highest demand. Midweek departures usually undercut Friday and Sunday flights. Polish public holidays in the autumn and around Easter also lift prices, and school breaks on both sides push them up further, so check the calendar before you settle on dates.

Fares on this route come from a mixed list. Ryanair, Jet2, Vueling Airlines and Eurowings are the low-cost names, where the ticket is built up from extras, so compare what each fare actually includes. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Lufthansa City Airlines are the full-service options and often mean a connection. Emerald Airlines, Cityjet, Air Baltic and Hahn Air turn up on some itineraries, so read the routing before you pick. Not every airline here flies non-stop, so filter for a direct flight if that is what you want.

Warsaw has two airports and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin is the main one, close enough to the centre that a bus, a train or a taxi gets you in without much fuss. Modlin sits further north and takes a share of the low-cost flights, so the onward leg is a bus or a train connection you should plan before you land. Check the airport code on your ticket: a fare into Modlin is not a fare into F. Chopin, and crossing between them after arrival eats a lot of time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your fare lands at, because F. Chopin and Modlin are on opposite sides of the city.
• On a low-cost ticket, confirm what the fare includes for cabin and checked baggage before you pay.
• If you build the trip from separate tickets, leave a long gap between legs in case the first one runs late.
• Carry a valid passport or national ID card for Poland and check the entry rules that apply to you.
• December is the cheapest month here, so weigh it against the Christmas and New Year rush before you book.
• Birmingham is your only departure airport on this route, so check the terminal and the drop-off arrangements in advance.
