Cheap flights from Bucharest to Wroclaw

December is the cheapest month to fly this route, so if your dates are flexible, aim for the run-up to Christmas rather than the peak days around it. Fares are listed from September through May, which covers autumn, winter and early spring, and the colder months outside the holiday weeks often bring the lowest fares. Midweek departures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, when weekend trips push demand up. Book a few weeks ahead for December and for the Easter period, and watch school holidays in Romania and Poland, which fill seats quickly.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost options here, so expect a bare fare with cabin baggage rules you need to read before you pay. Full-service carriers on the route include Tarom, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Swiss, Austrian and Air Baltic. Some of these fly you straight to Wroclaw, while others connect through their home hubs, which adds time but usually includes a checked bag and a meal or snack. If you book a connecting itinerary, check whether both legs sit on one ticket, because separate tickets mean you carry the risk of a missed connection.

You land at Strachowice, the airport that serves Wroclaw, in the south-west of Poland. It sits outside the city rather than in the centre, so plan the last leg of your journey before you land; the airport bus and a taxi are the usual ways into town. Bucharest departures leave from Otopeni International, the city's only airport, so there is no second departure point to mix up. Check your arrival time against local transport hours if you land late, and have your accommodation address ready for the driver.
