Cheap flights from Burgas to Warsaw

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it also falls in a pleasant stretch of autumn in both cities. Late spring and early summer bring higher demand, and the winter weeks around the holidays fill up early, so book well ahead if you are travelling then. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to cost less than weekend ones, and school breaks in Bulgaria and Poland push fares up on both sides. Watch the calendar around Christmas and New Year, when seats go quickly.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work on this route: Ryanair and Wizz Air sell the base fare and charge for extras such as cabin bags and seat choice, so read the small print before you compare. SkyUp MT and Enter Air also appear, often on seasonal services. Full-service airlines on the route include LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, Norwegian, Air Baltic, Eurowings and Eurowings Discover, which usually include a checked bag and may route you through a hub. Some flights are direct, others connect, so check the itinerary rather than the fare alone.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at shapes the rest of your journey. F. Chopin sits close to the centre, with buses, trains and taxis covering the short ride into town. Modlin lies further north, outside the city, and coaches and shuttle buses run to the centre around arrival times — check that a late landing still has a connection. Confirm your airport before you arrange a transfer, because the two are not interchangeable, and allow extra time if you are heading onward by train or coach from the city.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your flight lands at F. Chopin or Modlin in Warsaw, since the two airports sit far apart and the transfer into town differs.
• Read the baggage rules on a low-cost fare before you book, because cabin and checked bags are usually charged on top.
• If you join two separate tickets, leave a generous gap so a delay on the first flight does not lose you the second.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for travel between Bulgaria and Poland and check the current entry rules before departure.
• Book early for October if you want the lowest fares, and even earlier for the Christmas and New Year stretch.
