Cheap flights from Nantes to Warsaw

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers the months from September through May, so the quiet winter weeks after the holidays are the ones to watch. Spring and early autumn are the busiest times for city breaks in Warsaw, and the days around Christmas and the New Year fill up quickly in both directions. Midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday tend to be calmer and cheaper than Friday and Sunday, when weekend travellers push fares up. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel, and earlier still if you are flying in spring or over the holidays.

Several carriers sell tickets between these two cities, and they split into two groups. Transavia France, Volotea, Vueling Airlines and Easyjet are low-cost, which normally means a basic fare with a small cabin bag and an extra charge for anything checked. Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Aegean Airlines, HOP! and Carpatair are full-service, where a checked bag and refreshments are more often part of the fare. Since there is no direct flight, every option involves at least one connection, and the airline you book with may not operate each leg. Check who flies each segment and whether your bags are through-checked.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at changes your plans. F. Chopin sits close to the city centre, with buses and a rail link into town and a taxi ride short enough to be practical after a long journey. Modlin lies well outside the city and is served mainly by a dedicated bus and train connection, so allow extra time and check the last departure of the day if you are arriving late. If you land at one airport and your onward travel leaves from the other, treat that as a separate trip across town. Confirm the airport on your ticket, because both are sold simply as Warsaw.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you are departing from Nantes Atlantique, the city's only airport, so there is no confusion on the day.
• Confirm which Warsaw airport you land at, F. Chopin or Modlin, and how you will get from there to where you are staying.
• On a low-cost fare, add up the cabin bag, the checked bag and seat selection before comparing it with a full-service ticket.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, leave a generous gap, because a missed leg is not protected.
• Check the passport or ID rules for Poland and make sure your document is valid for the whole trip.
• Winter fares are the lowest, but snow and short days can affect connections, so build in slack between December and February.
