Cheap flights from Calgary to Warsaw

March is the cheapest month in the fare calendar for this route, and the quieter months around it, from September through February, sit close behind. May also shows up in the calendar, so late spring is worth a look before summer fares take over. December is the exception: holiday travel pushes prices up on both sides of the Atlantic, and the days right before Christmas are the worst of the lot. If your dates are flexible, aim for late winter or early spring and fly midweek rather than on a Friday or Sunday. On a route with no non-stop service, the connection matters as much as the fare, so book early enough to have a real choice of hubs.

No airline flies Calgary to Warsaw non-stop, so every itinerary here is a connecting one. Air Canada, United Airlines, American Airlines and Porter Airlines cover the North American side, while Finnair, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, British Airways, Brussels Airlines and Swiss handle the European legs. None of them is a bare-bones low-cost carrier, but what comes with your ticket varies by fare family, so read the fare conditions before you pay, particularly on baggage and seat selection. Porter Airlines is the smallest of the group, so check how many stops its itineraries involve before you commit.

Warsaw is served by two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin is the main gateway into Poland, close to the city centre, with trains, buses and taxis running into town through the day. Modlin lies well to the north and handles a smaller share of the traffic; getting in usually means a shuttle or a train connection rather than a short taxi ride. Check which airport your ticket names before you arrange a transfer, and leave yourself time if someone is meeting you, because the two sit on opposite sides of the city.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Confirm what your fare family includes before you pay, especially a checked bag on the lightest tickets.
• If your trip is built from separate tickets, leave a generous buffer for the connection, since nobody rebooks you if you miss it.
• Make sure your passport and any entry documents for Poland are valid well beyond your travel dates.
• Compare the price calendar month by month before you fix your dates, because March comes out cheapest here.
• Book the whole journey on one ticket where you can, so a delay on the first leg is the airline's problem rather than yours.
