Cheap flights from Liverpool to Warsaw

February is usually the cheapest month to fly this route, with the lowest fares falling in the quiet weeks after the winter holidays. Spring and autumn are pleasant and still reasonably priced, while the summer school break and the run-up to Christmas push prices up on both sides. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and it is worth avoiding the Polish holiday peaks around early May, Corpus Christi and All Saints' Day, when people fly home. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips and further out for summer and Christmas, when the good seats go first.

Ryanair, Wizz Air, easyJet and Jet2 are the low-cost carriers here, and they are the ones to look at first for a direct flight. Their fares cover the seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage, seat choice and priority boarding sold as extras, so compare the total rather than the headline price. Aer Lingus sits between the two models, with keener fares than a traditional carrier but more included on some tickets. Emerald Airlines, Loganair and Qatar Airways are the regional and full-service names on the route, and they usually mean a connection rather than a nonstop, with one ticket covering the whole journey and checked baggage normally included.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at changes the last leg of your trip. F. Chopin sits close to the city, with a short bus or train ride into the centre and taxis readily available at the terminal. Modlin is well outside Warsaw, so allow real time for the transfer: a dedicated shuttle bus and coach services run to the city centre and to the main rail station, and the journey is much longer than from Chopin. Check your booking carefully before you fly, because low-cost tickets often use Modlin while others use Chopin, and the two are not interchangeable. If you land late, arrange your transfer in advance rather than relying on whatever is waiting outside.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your fare uses, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and a transfer between them is not quick.
• Confirm the baggage allowance on your low-cost fare and add the cabin or checked bag you actually need before you pay.
• If your journey is split across separate tickets, leave a generous gap in case the first leg runs late.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for travel to Poland and meets the entry rules for your nationality.
• Compare February against the summer and Christmas weeks, when fares on this route climb.
• Decide whether a direct flight or a cheaper connecting itinerary matters more to you.
