Cheap flights from Malmo to Warsaw

May is usually the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar also covers September through February. Spring and early autumn tend to be calmer, and midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday are often lighter than the Friday and Sunday rush. Christmas and New Year, the school breaks and Polish public holidays all push demand up, so those dates reward booking well ahead. If your plans are flexible, aim for the shoulder weeks just outside the holiday peaks and book a few weeks before departure rather than in the final days.

Both low-cost and full-service carriers appear on this route. Ryanair is the low-cost option, with a bare fare that you build up with bags and seat selection. Scandinavian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France are full-service, so a checked bag and a seat are normally part of the ticket, and the last two often mean a connection through a hub. Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation are smaller regional operators. Direct flights exist here, but which carriers fly nonstop depends on the date you search, so read the itinerary before you pay.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin lies close to the city and handles most of the traffic, with buses, trams and taxis getting you into the centre quickly. Modlin sits well outside town to the north, so build in extra time: a dedicated coach and a rail connection run into the city, and the transfer is much longer than from Chopin. Check which airport your ticket names before you arrange ground transport, and if you land late, have a plan for the last leg rather than sorting it out at the kerb.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Malmo has a single airport, so confirm the departure terminal and leave time for the train or bus out to it.
• On a low-cost ticket, add the cabin and checked bag you actually need before you compare the total.
• If your itinerary shows a change of plane, check whether the legs are on one ticket or two.
• Bring a valid passport or identity card for Poland and check the entry rules for your nationality.
• Check the price calendar before you fix your dates, since May and the winter months price differently from the summer peak.
• If you land at Modlin, arrange your transfer into Warsaw before you fly, not after you land.
