Cheap flights from Chengdu to Warsaw

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar tracks every month except August, so you can see how the rest of the year compares. Late autumn and winter departures from Chengdu tend to be quieter, while the summer months and the Lunar New Year rush push fares up. In Warsaw, the Christmas and New Year period and the summer school holidays are the busiest. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and booking well ahead matters more on a connecting long haul than on a short hop, because the cheap fare buckets on the first leg sell out first.

The carriers listed on this route include Turkish Airlines, Etihad Airways, Juneyao Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Hebei Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Eva Air, Asiana Airlines, Lufthansa and China Eastern Airlines. None of them flies this route non-stop, so what you compare is the connection as much as the carrier. These are full-service airlines rather than budget ones, but what comes with your ticket depends on the fare you pick, not on the name on the plane. A light fare can leave you paying extra for a checked bag, while a higher fare on the same flight includes it, so read the baggage rules for the exact ticket before you book.

Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and which one you land at changes how you get into town. Chopin sits close to the city, with buses and trains running to the centre and a taxi ride that takes a short while. Modlin is well outside Warsaw to the north, so allow time for the bus or train link that connects it to the city, and check the last departure if you land late in the evening. Whichever airport you use, confirm the arrival terminal before you arrange a pickup, and have a payment method that works for the transfer, since not every machine or driver takes the same one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which Chengdu airport you are leaving from, since the city has two and they are not interchangeable.
• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because a self-transfer means you collect your bags and check in again.
• Read the baggage allowance on the exact fare you are buying, especially if the first leg is on an unfamiliar carrier.
• Confirm that your passport and any visa or transit requirements for Poland are in order well before departure.
• Book early if you travel around the Lunar New Year or the Christmas period, when cheap fares go first.
• If you land at Modlin rather than Chopin, plan your transfer into Warsaw before you fly.
