Cheap flights from Florence to Warsaw

December comes out cheapest on this route, and the price calendar covers the months from September through June, so the whole autumn-to-spring stretch is worth comparing before you commit. Autumn and early winter are quiet outside the Christmas and New Year rush, when both cities empty out and fill up again within days. Spring picks up as the weather improves, and summer is the busiest time to cross Europe. Midweek departures are usually calmer and cheaper than Friday or Sunday, and school holidays in either country push fares up.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every option here is a connection, and the carriers differ in how they handle it. Vueling and Volotea are the low-cost names on the list, which usually means a basic fare with a small cabin bag and extra charges for checked luggage or a chosen seat. KLM Cityhopper, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, ITA Airways, Lufthansa, Air Dolomiti, Helvetic Airways and Scandinavian Airlines are the full-service and regional carriers, where a cabin bag is normally included and a checked bag often is too, with food and drink on the longer legs. The real difference on a connecting trip is where you change and how long you wait.

Warsaw has two airports, and your ticket decides which one you land at. F. Chopin is the main gateway and the closer of the two to the centre, with a train and bus link into town and taxis at the door. Modlin sits further out and needs a longer transfer, usually by a dedicated bus or coach service that meets the arrivals. Check the airport code on your booking before you arrange anything, because landing at one and arranging a pickup at the other leaves you a long way from where you meant to be. Late arrivals are worth planning for, since the transfer options thin out as the evening goes on.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Florence flies from Peretola only, so there is no second airport to mix up on the way out.
• Check whether your fare includes a checked bag, since low-cost tickets often cover a cabin bag alone.
• Confirm that a connection booked on separate tickets leaves enough time to collect your bag and clear security again.
• Carry a passport or national identity card that is valid for travel within the Schengen area.
• Book early for December if you want the cheapest fares, and expect the Christmas and New Year weeks to fill up.
• Compare the total journey time, not just the departure, because a long layover can cost you more than the fare saves.
