Cheap flights from Hannover to Warsaw

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers September through March plus July, so late autumn and winter are where the lower fares sit. Spring and summer cost more, partly because Warsaw draws more visitors once the weather improves. Midweek departures tend to be quieter than Friday and Sunday, when business travellers and weekenders compete for the same connecting seats. Watch the Christmas and New Year stretch, when everyone travels at once, and book well ahead if you plan to be in Warsaw over the holidays.

Several carriers serve this route: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its regional arm KLM Cityhopper, Air France, Lufthansa and Lufthansa City Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Austrian, Swiss, Pegasus and Braathens Regional Aviation. None of them fly nonstop, so every itinerary involves a change of plane, and what you actually get depends on the fare rather than on the airline's name. Full-service tickets often include a checked bag and seat selection, while the leanest low-cost fares usually cover a cabin bag only. On a connection the two legs can be operated by different airlines, so read the baggage allowance for each one.

Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and they are not interchangeable. Chopin is the main one and sits close to the city, with buses and trains running into the centre and a taxi or ride-hailing car covering the last stretch quickly. Modlin is well outside Warsaw, so allow real time for the transfer and check how the bus or rail link lines up with your landing. Whichever you arrive at, confirm which airport your ticket names before you arrange ground transport, and have a card or some cash ready for ticket machines. Late arrivals mean thinner public transport, so plan the last leg in advance.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your ticket names the right Warsaw airport, since the city has two and they are far apart.
• Confirm the baggage allowance for each leg of the connection, not just the first flight.
• If the two flights are booked separately, leave a generous gap so a delay on the first does not cost you the second.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for travel to Poland and for any country you transit through.
• Book early for December if you want the cheapest fares, and avoid the Christmas rush.
• Check the transfer time at your connecting airport, because a short layover in a large hub can be tight.
