Cheap flights from Freetown to Warsaw

November is the cheapest month on this route, so aim for it if your dates can move. The fares tracked here run from September through March, which covers the European winter and the end-of-year holiday rush, when demand is heaviest and the good connections go first. Book a few months ahead for that window. Midweek departures usually give you more choice of connections than a Friday or Sunday, and a weekday flight also keeps you away from the busiest days at both ends. Outside the months shown on this page, fares are not tracked yet.

Every airline on this route connects rather than flies non-stop, so what separates them is where you change planes and what the ticket includes. Air Peace and ASKY Airlines are the regional carriers you will see on the West African legs; Turkish Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways are full-service carriers that take you on to Warsaw through their own hubs. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a meal, while the leaner tickets can leave a checked bag as an extra, so read the fare rules before you compare. A cheap fare with a long layover can cost you more in time than it saves in money.

Warsaw has two airports, and your ticket decides which one you get. F. Chopin is the closer of the two, a short ride from the centre, with trains, buses and taxis doing the trip into town. Modlin sits well north of the city and the transfer takes noticeably longer, usually by shuttle bus or taxi. Check which airport your booking names before you arrange a pickup, because the two are not interchangeable and moving between them eats a big chunk of your day. If you land late, sort your transfer in advance.
