Cheap Flights from Nairobi to Warsaw

October is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are open, start there. The price calendar covers most months from September through July, and the pattern around it is fairly predictable: fares climb for the end-of-year holidays and again in the northern summer, when families travel. Departures in the middle of the week are usually quieter than weekend ones, and early-morning or late-night connections often cost less. Book a few months ahead when you can, and keep an eye on prices as your dates get closer.

Every airline flying between Nairobi and Warsaw routes you through a hub, so the choice comes down to where you change planes and what the fare includes. Air Arabia is the low-cost option in the list, which usually means a lower base fare with baggage and meals sold separately. Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Saudi Arabian Airlines connect through the Gulf or the Middle East, while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France and Egyptair route via Europe or North Africa. Air Tanzania keeps you in the region for the first leg. Full-service carriers generally include a checked bag and meals, though fare rules vary.

Warsaw has two airports, and your ticket will name one of them. F. Chopin is the main gateway, a short ride from the centre, with buses, trains and taxis running into town through the day. Modlin sits well outside the city and handles a lot of low-cost traffic; from there you reach the centre by shuttle bus or train, and the transfer takes noticeably longer. Check which airport your booking uses before you arrange a pickup, because the two are not interchangeable, and if you land late, make sure public transport is still running or have a taxi number saved.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Check the baggage allowance on your fare, especially with a low-cost carrier, where extras are usually sold separately.
• If your trip is split across separate tickets, leave a generous gap for the connection and the bag drop.
• Make sure your passport and any entry documents for Poland are valid before you pay.
• Look at the price calendar before you fix your dates, since October is the cheapest month.
• Compare total travel time, not just the fare, because the layover airport changes the journey.
