Cheap flights from Giza to Warsaw

November comes out cheapest on this route, and the quiet weeks around it usually stay reasonable too. Summer is the opposite: school holidays in Poland and the winter sun season in Egypt push fares up, and the run-up to Christmas and New Year is busy in both directions. Travellers heading south cluster in the grey months, while those flying from Egypt to Warsaw often go in spring and early autumn. Midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper than weekend ones. Watch the Polish long weekends in May and the days around All Saints' Day in early November, when seats fill early.

Most of the carriers on this route are low-cost: Wizz Air and its UK and Malta arms, Pegasus, Easyjet, Air Arabia and Fly Dubai. Edelweiss Air is the full-service name in the mix. None of them fly Giza to Warsaw non-stop, so every itinerary involves a change of plane, and the airlines differ mainly in where that change happens and how the fare is put together. On the low-cost tickets you generally pay for a seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage, seat choice and food added separately. The full-service fare usually bundles more in. Read the fare rules on your own booking before you compare totals.

Warsaw has two airports, and your ticket will name one of them. F. Chopin sits close to the city, a short ride from the centre by bus, train or taxi. Modlin is well outside the city to the north and needs its own bus or rail connection, so allow extra time if you land there. Check the airport on your booking before you arrange a transfer, because the two are not interchangeable and turning up at the wrong one is a costly mistake. Both have car hire, taxi ranks and ride-hailing pick-up points, and at Chopin the train into the centre is often the simplest way in after a long flight.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, since the two are far apart and a transfer between them takes time.
• Look at the baggage allowance on the low-cost fare, as cabin-only is often the default.
• If your trip is built from separate tickets, leave a generous buffer between the legs in case the first flight is delayed.
• Confirm the entry rules for Poland that apply to your nationality, and that your passport is valid well beyond your travel dates.
• Book early for the busy months and compare midweek dates against weekend ones before you commit.
• Departures from Giza use Sphinx International Airport, so plan your journey there with traffic in mind.
