Cheap flights from Bratislava to Warsaw

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the winter weeks around it usually stay calmer than the summer peak. Spring and autumn are the middle ground: mild weather in both Bratislava and Warsaw and steadier demand. Fares climb in summer and in the run-up to Christmas and New Year, so travelling outside those windows usually costs less. Midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper than Friday evenings and Sunday nights. For winter trips, book a few weeks ahead; for summer, book earlier still, because the low-cost seats go first.

Wizz Air, Ryanair and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost carriers you will see most often on Bratislava to Warsaw, and their fares cover the seat and a small cabin bag, with everything else added on. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service option, where a checked bag and seat selection usually come with the ticket. Pegasus and Sun Express also appear in the results, so check whether the fare you pick is non-stop or connects. On the low-cost tickets, baggage and seat fees can change the total a lot, so compare the final price rather than the headline fare.

Warsaw is served by two airports, and they are not close to each other. F. Chopin is the nearer of the two to the centre, with a short ride into town by bus or train. Modlin lies well to the north of the city and is the one low-cost carriers often use, so getting in usually means a shuttle or a train link rather than a quick taxi ride. Check the airport on your ticket before you book, because arriving at the wrong one can cost you a lot of time. Both airports have car hire, and both get busy on Sunday evenings and around public holidays.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your fare lands at, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart.
• On Wizz Air, Ryanair and Wizz Air Malta, add the checked bag and seat fee before you compare totals.
• Confirm that your itinerary is direct, especially on fares from Pegasus and Sun Express.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland and check the entry rules that apply to you.
• If you plan to fly around Christmas or New Year, book early, since December is busy as well as cheap.
• Remember that Bratislava departures use Ivanka, the city's only airport, so there is no airport choice on the way out.
