Cheap flights from Buenos Aires to Warsaw

October comes out cheapest on this route, and the months around it — September and November — stay close, so there is a comfortable window either side. Argentine school holidays and the southern summer push fares up from December through February, when Warsaw is at its coldest and darkest; the European summer, roughly June to August, is the other peak, driven by Poles heading out and Argentines heading north. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday ones. Book well ahead for the summer and Christmas periods; for October and November you can often leave it later and still find reasonable fares.

Nothing on this route is nonstop, so every airline here sells you a connecting itinerary. Iberia, Air France, KLM and Turkish Airlines route you through their European hubs, while United and American take you north through the United States, and Avianca and Latam Airlines Brasil connect via their Latin American bases. Level is the low-cost long-haul option, so expect to pay extra for checked bags and seat selection, while the full-service carriers usually include a checked allowance and meals in the fare. PARANAIR is an Argentine carrier you may see on part of an itinerary.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at shapes your first hour in the city. F. Chopin sits close to the centre, with a train and bus link and taxis or ride-hailing from the terminal, so it is a short ride into town. Modlin is well outside the city and needs a bus or train connection to reach the centre, so allow extra time and check the transfer timetable before you land. Watch which airport your ticket actually names: a fare that looks convenient may put you at Modlin late at night, when onward transport thins out.

• Which Buenos Aires airport your ticket leaves from, since Jorge Newbery is in the city and Pistarini is well outside it.
• Whether the fare includes a checked bag, especially on the low-cost option.
• Whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate tickets mean you collect your bags and carry the risk of a missed link.
• That your passport and any entry requirements for Poland are in order well before departure.
• How long the layover is, and whether it lands you in a European hub overnight.
• Whether your travel dates fall in a peak period, when fares climb.
