Cheap flights from Montpellier to Warsaw

Prices on this route appear on the calendar from September through February, and January comes out cheapest of those months. Late autumn and the run-up to Christmas are busy in both directions, with people heading home and students travelling back, so book earlier for those weeks. Midweek departures tend to be quieter than Friday evenings and Sunday nights. January and early February, outside the school breaks, are the calmest stretch: cold in both cities, but easier on the wallet and quieter at the airports. Krakow is also served from Montpellier, so if you are set on Poland rather than Warsaw specifically, it is worth a look.

No airline flies Montpellier to Warsaw nonstop, so every itinerary is built from two legs. Volotea, Easyjet and Transavia France are the low-cost names on this route, and their fares typically cover a seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage, seat selection and refreshments charged on top. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Luxair and HOP! are the full-service carriers, and they usually sell the whole trip as one ticket, so check whether the connection is protected before you book. Add the cost of a bag to the low-cost fare before deciding which option is really cheaper.

Warsaw has two airports and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin is the closer one to the centre, with buses and trains running into town. Modlin lies well outside the city to the north and handles mainly low-cost traffic, with a coach service as the usual way in. Check which airport your ticket names before you book a hotel, since getting between the two takes a long time. If your itinerary connects, make sure both legs use the same airport.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket names, because the city has two and they sit far apart.
• Montpellier has a single airport, so confirm the terminal and leave enough time there for a connection.
• On a low-cost fare, work out what a checked bag adds before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• If the two legs are booked separately, build in a long gap in case the first flight runs late.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card and check the entry rules for Poland before you fly.
• Look at the price calendar for the winter months, and at January in particular, before you fix your dates.
