Cheap flights from Bucharest to Poznan

December is the cheapest month in the fares we track, which is unusual for a holiday period — travel in the first half of the month and you get the low fares with quieter airports. Autumn months and January also show prices, while the spring and summer months often sit outside the calendar. The run-up to Christmas and New Year fills up quickly, so book early if those dates matter to you. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday travel, and letting the price calendar pick your dates beats fixing them first.

No airline flies this route nonstop, so every itinerary is a connection, and the carrier you choose decides where you change. LOT Polish Airlines connects through Warsaw, which is also the other Polish city people fly to from Bucharest. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss, Lufthansa and Austrian route you through their own hubs, with Lufthansa City Airlines feeding the same network. El Al Israel Airlines and Fly Dubai appear in the results too, so look closely at their connection times. Eurowings and Air Baltic sit at the low-cost end, where the fare usually covers less — compare what is included before you decide.

Poznan Lawica is the city's airport, and it sits close to town rather than far out, so the transfer to the centre is short. Buses and taxis both run from the terminal, and ride-hailing apps work well if you would rather not wait. Because there are no direct flights from Bucharest, you land on a connecting itinerary — check whether your bags are tagged through to Poznan or only to the transfer airport, since that decides whether you collect and re-check them. Late arrivals mean fewer buses, so have a backup plan if your connection gets you in after dark.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that the whole journey is on one ticket; separate bookings mean you carry the risk if the first flight runs late.
• Look at what the fare includes on the low-cost options, where a checked bag is normally an extra.
• Leave a comfortable gap between flights — a short connection leaves no room when the first leg slips.
• Make sure your passport or ID card is valid for the whole trip and check the entry rules for Poland.
• Bucharest departures leave from Otopeni International, so plan the trip to the airport, not to the city centre.
• Book early for travel around Christmas and New Year, when the cheap December fares go first.
