Cheap flights from Kosice to Warsaw

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the quiet weeks after the winter holidays usually stay cheap. Autumn and late spring are busier, and the run-up to Christmas and New Year fills planes quickly in both directions, as does Easter. Midweek departures on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are lighter than Friday evenings and Sunday returns, when people travel home. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips, and earlier than that if you are flying around the holidays, when the low fares go first.

Wizz Air is the low-cost carrier on this route, and the rest of the list — LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, Air Dolomiti, Air Baltic and Helvetic Airways — are full-service airlines. Wizz tends to fly the route itself, while the full-service names mostly sell connections through their hubs, which adds a stop but often bundles more into the fare. What is included varies by fare family, so read the baggage and change rules for the exact ticket you pick instead of assuming.

Flights from Kosice land at either F. Chopin or Modlin, and the two are not interchangeable. Chopin is the closer of the two, with buses and a rail link into the centre and a short ride to most hotels. Modlin sits well outside Warsaw and needs a longer transfer, usually by a dedicated bus or a train connection, so allow extra time if your ticket ends there. Check which airport your fare actually uses before arranging ground transport, and note that a late arrival leaves fewer ways into town.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which Warsaw airport your fare uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Check what the low-cost fare includes, especially cabin and checked baggage, before you add extras.
• If your itinerary has a connection, keep it on one ticket so a missed leg is covered.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland and check the entry rules for your nationality.
• Book early for winter and holiday travel, and weigh February against the months around it.
• Kosice departures use Barca, so plan the trip to the airport rather than to the city centre.
