Cheap flights from Copenhagen to Warsaw

December is the cheapest month to fly this route, so if your dates are flexible, that is where the lowest fares usually sit. Spring and early autumn are mild and pleasant in both cities, while July and August bring the warmest weather and the busiest crowds. Midweek departures are generally quieter than Friday and Sunday. Book well ahead around Christmas, New Year and the Polish holiday periods, when seats on this route fill up quickly.

Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair, Wizz Air and Norwegian keep the base fare low and often charge separately for extras like checked bags and seat selection. Full-service airlines including LOT Polish Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines tend to fold more into the ticket, while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Finnair usually sell connections through their hubs. Cityjet and Mokulele Flight Service also appear among the carriers serving this market. Direct flights exist on the route, but plenty of itineraries involve a stop, so compare total travel time as well as what the fare covers.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin sits close to the city centre, with bus and rail links that get you into town quickly, and it handles most of the traffic on this route. Modlin lies well outside the city and is used mainly by low-cost carriers, so allow extra time and plan on a bus or train connection to reach the centre. Check which airport your ticket names before you book, because mixing the two up can eat a large part of your day.
