Cheap flights from Dubrovnik to Warsaw

July is the cheapest month to fly this route, which is worth remembering because it sits right in the middle of the Adriatic high season. Late spring and early autumn are the sweet spots for both cities: warm enough in Dubrovnik, mild and walkable in Warsaw, with fewer crowds than midsummer. Winter is quiet and cheap outside the Christmas and New Year rush, when Warsaw fills up for the markets and fares climb. Midweek departures tend to be calmer and cheaper than weekend ones. Book a few months ahead for summer travel and for the Christmas period; for the rest of the year you can often leave it later.

Several carriers sell this route, and they fall into two clear groups. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Volotea, Transavia France and Norwegian International are the low-cost names: fares look small until you add a seat choice, a cabin bag or a checked bag, and they often fly at awkward hours. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM, Lufthansa and Aegean Airlines are full-service, with a checked bag and food usually in the fare, and connections through their hubs. Eurowings Discover sits somewhere between the two. Direct service exists here, so check whether the flight you are looking at is nonstop or a connection before you compare totals.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at changes your onward plan. F. Chopin is the main one and sits close to the city, with a rail link and buses into the centre and taxis at the rank outside arrivals. Modlin is much further out and mostly handles low-cost traffic; the usual way in is a shuttle bus to the city centre, timed around the flights, plus taxis. Check your booking carefully, because low-cost tickets sometimes land at Modlin while the fare you compared was to Chopin, and the transfer between the airports is long. Allow extra time if you are continuing by train or landing late.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin sit far apart and the transfer between them takes time.
• On low-cost tickets, confirm what is included before paying; a cabin bag and a checked bag usually cost extra.
• If your trip involves a connection, make sure both legs are on one ticket, or leave a generous gap in case the first flight slips.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland and check it stays valid for the whole trip.
• Summer departures from Dubrovnik get busy, so build in extra time at the airport even for an early flight.
• Book early for July, August and the Christmas period in Warsaw, when seats on this route go quickly.
