Cheap flights from Gothenburg to Warsaw

January is when fares on this route tend to be at their lowest, so if your dates are flexible, that is the month to aim for. Spring and early autumn are pleasant in both cities and prices sit somewhere in the middle, while late December around Christmas and New Year is the busiest and most expensive stretch. Weekday departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and autumn travel, and give yourself more lead time for the Christmas period, when seats on the direct services fill up first.

The route is served by a mix of carriers. LOT Polish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Finnair, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Cityjet, Nordic Regional Airlines and Lufthansa City Airlines are full-service, while Norwegian International is the low-cost option. Direct flights exist between the two cities; the rest connect through a hub, which adds a change of aircraft but widens your choice of departure times. Full-service tickets normally include a carry-on and often a checked bag, though the lightest fare brands may not. Low-cost fares usually charge extra for checked baggage and seat selection, so compare totals.

Warsaw has two airports. F. Chopin sits inside the city with a quick rail and bus link to the centre, which makes it the easier arrival if your plans start downtown. Modlin lies well outside the city to the north and is used mainly by the low-cost carriers; getting in means a shuttle bus or train connection, and it is worth allowing extra time. Check your ticket before you travel, because the two airports are far apart and a transfer between them eats into your trip. Both have taxis and ride-hailing pickups, so use the app or agree the fare rather than a driver who approaches you inside the terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that your departure is from Landvetter, the only airport serving Gothenburg.
• Check which Warsaw airport your flight uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• On a low-cost fare, add checked baggage and seat selection before you compare totals.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave a generous buffer, because a missed connection is not protected.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for entry to Poland and that you carry any visa or residence documents you need.
• For travel in late December or around New Year, book earlier than you would for the rest of the year.
