Cheap flights from London to Lodz

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it is easy to see why: the summer rush is over, the weather in Poland is still mild, and the airlines have not yet trimmed their schedules. Late spring and early autumn are the comfortable months for a city break in Lodz. Fares climb around Christmas and New Year, when Poles living in the UK fly home, and again in the run-up to Easter. Midweek departures usually undercut Friday and Sunday flights, which are the days people travel for a weekend. Book a few weeks ahead rather than on the day.

Two carriers show up on this route: Ryanair, the low-cost airline that operates the direct service, and Mokulele Flight Service, which appears on some of the itineraries you will see when you compare dates. Ryanair keeps the base fare low and charges separately for the extras you add, so the price at the start of the booking is not always the price at the end — read what is included before you commit. A connecting itinerary usually bundles more into one ticket, but it costs you a longer travel day and a stop somewhere in between. If the direct flight is the whole point of the trip, filter for it first.

Lodz Lublinek Airport is the city's only airport, so there is no second option to weigh up on the Polish side — everything lands at Lublinek. It is a small regional terminal, which means short walks and a quick exit, but also fewer onward connections than you would find at a major hub. Sort out how you will get into the centre before you fly: ground transport at a regional airport is thinner than at a big one, and thinner still on a late arrival. If you are heading back to London, remember the return can leave from any of London's airports, so check which one your ticket actually uses.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your ticket uses — City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted sit far apart, and the wrong one can ruin the day.
• Confirm whether you are booking the direct flight or a connecting itinerary, and how long the stopover is.
• Work out the baggage you need before you pay, because low-cost fares price extras separately.
• Check the current entry rules for Poland for UK passport holders before you book.
• Compare the whole year in the price calendar — September is the cheapest month, but every month has fares here.
