Cheap flights from Manila to Warsaw

March is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar covers every month of the year, so you can weigh your dates before you commit. Fares climb around the big holiday periods at both ends of the route, and the northern summer is the busiest stretch for travel into Europe. Midweek departures are generally quieter than weekend ones. If your dates are flexible, look at the shoulder weeks on either side of the peak season and book a few months ahead rather than in the final weeks before departure.

The carriers that appear on this route are full-service airlines rather than budget ones: Philippine Airlines, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Swiss, Lufthansa, Air China, Shenzhen Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Juneyao Airlines and HI Fly Transportes Aereo. Because there is no direct flight, all of them sell connecting itineraries, and where you change planes shapes the trip as much as the airline does. Baggage rules differ between them: on a through ticket the allowance normally follows the longest leg, while separate tickets leave you to collect and re-check your bags yourself. Meals and seat selection are not identical across the list either.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin is the closer of the two to the centre, with a short bus or train ride into town and taxis outside the terminal. Modlin sits well outside the city and is normally reached by a shuttle bus that links up with the rail network, so allow extra time and check which airport your ticket actually names. Both are small enough to get through quickly, but late-evening landings leave fewer onward connections, and arrivals from outside the Schengen area pass through immigration before the baggage hall.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your itinerary lands at, because the two are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Allow a generous gap between flights if you are booking legs on separate tickets, since a missed connection is yours to sort out.
• Confirm the baggage allowance for every airline in the itinerary, not just the first one.
• Make sure your travel documents are valid for entry to Poland and for any country you transit through.
• Compare March against your preferred dates before you commit, and book early if you are travelling in peak season.
• Look at the layover airport, as some connections mean a long wait or an overnight stop.
