Cheap flights from Sørvágur to Warsaw

October is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it sits in a window from September through December when fares tend to stay lower outside the summer rush. Late autumn and winter are quiet on both ends, though Faroese weather can disrupt flights, so build in some slack. Spring and early summer prices pick up again from May, and June is popular with people heading to Poland for the long days. Midweek departures, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays, are often less crowded than weekend ones. Around Christmas and New Year, and during the Faroese and Polish school holidays, seats fill faster, so book well ahead if you're travelling then.

Atlantic Airways, Scandinavian Airlines and Icelandair all serve this route, and because there are no direct flights you'll connect through one of their hubs. That means the airline you pick shapes where you change and how long the journey takes. Baggage rules and what's included in the fare differ from one ticket type to another, so check the allowance before you pay. On some connections the legs are sold as one ticket, which protects you if a delay makes you miss the next flight; on others you book each leg separately and carry that risk yourself. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and seat selection, while the lighter fare brands may not.

Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and they are not in the same part of the city. Chopin is the closer one to the centre, with a train and bus link that gets you in fairly quickly. Modlin sits further out and is usually reached by a dedicated bus or shuttle that connects to the city and to Chopin. Before you book, check which airport your flight uses, because a late switch can add a long transfer. Taxis and ride-hailing apps work at both, but agree the fare or use the app to avoid surprises. If you're connecting onwards, allow plenty of time between the airport and the city, especially at rush hour.
