Cheap flights from London to Rzeszow

September is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar shows how fares move across the rest of the year. Summer and the winter holiday stretch are the busiest, when seats sell early and the low fares go first. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and the first departure of the day or the last one back is often the quietest. Book a few weeks ahead for summer travel, and check the calendar for a dip rather than assuming the fare on your first search is the one to take.

Ryanair, Wizz Air UK, Wizz Air Malta and Easyjet are the low-cost names you will see on this route, and their fares usually cover the seat and a small cabin bag only — a checked bag, a chosen seat and a snack all cost extra. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Swiss, Austrian and Edelweiss Air are the full-service carriers, and their tickets generally include a checked bag and a connection through a hub, which is why they often look pricier at first glance. Compare the total you would pay with bags added before you decide the low-cost fare is the cheaper one.

Flights land at Jasionka, the airport that serves Rzeszow, and it is the only airport for the city, so there is no second option to weigh up. It sits outside town rather than at the edge of the centre, so plan the last leg before you land: a taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the simplest way in, and a hire car makes sense if you are travelling on afterwards. Arrivals are small and quick to walk through, but late-evening landings leave fewer transport options, so sort out your transfer before you fly if you land after dark.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm your London airport — City, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Stansted are far apart, and swapping between them is slow.
• Check what the fare includes: low-cost tickets on this route often cover only a small cabin bag.
• If you are connecting, check whether it is one ticket or two — with separate tickets you carry your own bags.
• Check your passport and Poland's entry rules before you pay, and match the name to your document.
• Compare the price calendar, not just your dates: September is the cheapest month, and the weeks around it are close.
