Cheap flights from Harstad/Narvik to Warsaw

When to fly: November is the cheapest month on this route, with the rest of late autumn and the quiet weeks after the New Year close behind. Warsaw is at its liveliest in spring and early summer, while late autumn and winter are colder and darker but easier on the wallet. Midweek departures, Tuesday to Thursday, tend to cost less than weekend ones, and steering clear of the days around Christmas, New Year and Easter helps. Book a couple of months ahead for autumn and winter travel, and earlier for June, when connecting seats fill up.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every option is a connecting one, usually with a change at a Scandinavian hub before the flight down to Warsaw. Norwegian is the low-cost name here, with a basic fare and extras added separately. Scandinavian Airlines is the full-service option, Wider covers much of the regional network in northern Norway, and Norwegian International and Eurowings Discover appear on the longer international legs. What differs most is what the fare includes: low-cost tickets tend to cover less, so compare the total with bags and seat selection rather than the headline fare.

Warsaw is served by two airports. F. Chopin is the main one, close to the city, with bus and rail links and taxis into the centre that take a short time. Modlin lies well outside the city to the north and is reached mainly by dedicated coach services, which add a fair amount of time to the journey. Check which airport your ticket names before you book, because the two are not interchangeable, and if your connection lands late, look at how late the transport into town runs.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Check what your low-cost fare includes, especially cabin and checked baggage, and add the extras before comparing totals.
• If your trip is booked as separate tickets, leave a generous buffer between flights, since a missed connection is not protected.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for travel to Poland and check the current entry rules before you fly.
• Book earlier for June travel and around Christmas and New Year, when seats on connecting routes fill up.
• Allow for the change of plane in Scandinavia and pick a connection long enough to clear a terminal transfer.
