Cheap flights from Katowice to Buenos Aires

May comes out cheapest on this route, and the months around it — March, September and October — usually sit close behind. Fares climb for the southern summer, when Buenos Aires fills up from December through February, and again around Christmas and New Year, when Poles fly out and Argentines fly home. Midweek departures from Pyrzowice tend to cost less than weekend ones on both legs. For the southern spring and autumn, booking a few months ahead is usually enough; for January or the Easter period, start earlier, because connecting seats on the long haul sell out first.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name on this route, so treat the base fare as a starting point and see what a cabin bag or a checked bag adds before you compare. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service option, and its fares often include more, which can make it the better value once bags are counted. Air Dolomiti flies as a regional partner, so expect its tickets to come as part of a longer connecting itinerary. None of the three flies Katowice to Buenos Aires non-stop, so every itinerary you see will have at least one change, usually in a larger European hub.

Buenos Aires has two airports and they are not interchangeable. Jorge Newbery sits close to the centre, along the river, and handles mostly regional and domestic traffic. Pistarini, also called Ezeiza, lies well out in the suburbs and is where long-haul arrivals from Europe usually land. From Pistarini the ride into town takes a while, so allow for traffic; taxis, pre-booked transfers and airport buses all run the route. From Jorge Newbery you are minutes from the centre. Check which airport your ticket names before you book ground transport, and if you have to move between the two, leave a generous gap.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure airport is Pyrzowice, the only airport serving Katowice.
• See what your low-cost fare includes for bags, both cabin and checked, before comparing totals.
• Confirm whether both legs are on one ticket or separate ones, since separate tickets mean you carry the risk of a missed connection.
• Check entry rules and passport validity for Argentina well before departure.
• Note which Buenos Aires airport your flight uses, Jorge Newbery or Pistarini, and plan the transfer from there.
• If your dates are open, compare May against the months either side of it.
