Cheap flights Bologna to Warsaw

January is the cheapest month for this route, so if your dates are flexible, that is where the lowest fares sit. Winter travel around Christmas and New Year fills up early and costs more, and the same goes for the summer school holidays and the Easter period. Spring and early autumn are quieter, with mild weather in both Bologna and Warsaw. Midweek departures on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, when weekenders travel. Book several weeks ahead for the busy months and keep an eye on the price calendar as your dates get closer.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta and Ryanair fly the Bologna–Warsaw corridor, and their fares usually include a cabin bag only, with checked luggage, seat selection and priority boarding priced separately. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service option on the route, with connections through its Warsaw hub and a more inclusive fare. If the nonstop times do not suit you, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Scandinavian Airlines, Vueling Airlines and Aegean Airlines sell one-stop itineraries. Check what each fare actually includes before you compare the totals, since a low headline price can grow once bags are added.

Warsaw has two airports. F. Chopin sits inside the city, a short ride from the centre, and it handles most of the traffic from Bologna. Modlin lies well to the north of Warsaw and is used mainly by low-cost carriers, so check which one your ticket names before you book a transfer. From Chopin you can reach the centre by train, bus or taxi, and the ride is quick. Modlin needs a dedicated shuttle bus or train connection into town, which adds time to the journey. Allow extra room on the way back: traffic into Chopin can be slow at peak hours, and Modlin transfers run to a timetable rather than on demand.
