Cheap flights from Medellin to Warsaw

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the months around it, from September through March, carry the lowest fares overall. That window is also when Warsaw turns cold and grey, so if you want the city in milder weather you will pay more for a summer departure. Midweek flights, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to cost less than weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead helps on a long connecting route. Avoid the days around Christmas and New Year, when travelers in both countries fill the planes and seats get scarce.

No airline flies this route nonstop, so every option on the list is a connecting itinerary. JetBlue Airways is the low-cost name here, with fares that usually leave checked bags and seat selection as extras. Avianca, LATAM Airlines and Lanperu cover the Latin American side of the trip, while Copa Airlines is built around connections through its hub. Air Europa, United Airlines, American Airlines, Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa are full-service carriers, where a checked bag and meals are normally part of the ticket on the long legs. Compare what each fare includes before you pick the cheapest headline fare.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at changes the end of your trip. F. Chopin is the closer of the two, sitting inside the city with a short ride to the centre by taxi, ride-hailing app or public transport. Modlin lies well outside Warsaw and mostly handles low-cost traffic, so allow a longer transfer into town and check that your onward plans still work if you land late at night. Whichever airport you use, confirm which one your return flight leaves from, since both serve the same city under different names.
