Cheap flights from Hamburg to Warsaw

October is usually the cheapest month on this route, and the autumn weeks either side of it often come close. Summer is the busiest stretch, with school holidays pushing fares up, while winter is quieter apart from the run-up to Christmas and the New Year. Midweek departures tend to be kinder to your budget than Friday evenings or Sunday nights. Book a few weeks ahead for summer and the holidays; in the quieter months you can often leave it later and still do fine.

Several carriers fly between Hamburg and Warsaw. Easyjet, Norwegian and Norwegian International are the low-cost options, where the ticket covers your seat and a small cabin bag and most extras are added at booking. Scandinavian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Eurowings, Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation are the full-service and regional names on the route, and some of those itineraries connect rather than fly you straight there. Direct flights exist, so if time matters, filter for them and check what each fare actually includes.

Flights from Hamburg land at either F. Chopin or Modlin. Chopin is the closer of the two, a short ride from the centre by bus, tram or taxi, and the one most travellers end up at. Modlin sits well outside the city and is served by shuttle buses and a rail link, so allow time for the transfer. Check your booking to see which airport your flight uses, because they are not interchangeable and a late arrival can leave you with fewer ways into town.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight lands at, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and need different transfers.
• If you book a low-cost fare, add the baggage you actually need before you pay, as cabin allowances are small.
• Watch out for itineraries that put you on two separate tickets, because a missed connection is then your problem rather than the airline's.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for travel to Poland and carries the name you booked with.
• Look at the price calendar before you commit, as fares on this route swing a lot between October and the summer.
• Decide whether you want a direct flight or a cheaper connecting one, and filter accordingly.
