Cheap flights from Cluj-Napoca to Warsaw

October is when fares on this route tend to sit at their lowest, so if your dates are flexible, aim for the autumn window. Late spring and the summer months are busier, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year fill up early. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. Booking a few weeks ahead helps, and it is worth watching school holidays in both countries, which push prices up at both ends of the route.

Wizz Air Malta is the low-cost carrier on this route: the fare covers your seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage, a chosen seat and priority boarding costing extra. LOT Polish Airlines and Tarom are the full-service options, and their fares usually include a cabin bag and a checked allowance, though it depends on the ticket type. Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss and Helvetic Airways tend to mean a connection through their own hubs rather than a direct flight. Harbour Air Seaplanes also appears in some results. Check what each fare includes before comparing totals.

Warsaw has two airports, and it is worth knowing which one your ticket names. F. Chopin is the closer of the two, a short ride from the centre by bus, train or taxi, and it handles most of the traffic on this route. Modlin sits well outside the city to the north, so plan on a longer bus or train transfer into town and allow extra time. Both airports have taxis and ride-hailing pickups; use an app or agree the fare rather than accepting an offer in arrivals. If you land in the evening, check the last connection to the centre before you book, since services to Modlin thin out late.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and mean different journeys into town.
• On a low-cost fare, confirm the cabin bag size and add checked luggage before you fly rather than at the airport.
• If a connection is on separate tickets, leave a generous gap, since a missed leg is not covered by the other airline.
• Make sure your passport or identity card is valid for the whole stay and accepted for entry to Poland.
• Book early for Christmas, New Year and spring holidays, when seats on this route fill up.
• Compare the total once bags and seat selection are added, not just the headline fare.
