Cheap flights from New Orleans to Warsaw

January is when fares on this route tend to be at their lowest, and the price calendar covers September through June, so the summer months fall outside it. Spring and autumn are the comfortable middle ground at both ends, though New Orleans turns hot and humid by late spring and Warsaw gets cold from late autumn. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones. Watch the calendar around Mardi Gras in New Orleans and the Christmas and New Year period, when both cities fill up and seats go fast.

No airline flies New Orleans to Warsaw nonstop, so every itinerary on this route involves at least one connection. The carriers serving it are United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, British Airways, Finnair, Lufthansa and Iberia. Most are full-service network airlines; JetBlue sits closer to the low-cost model and Air Canada Rouge is Air Canada's leisure arm, so both tend to unbundle more of the fare. What you actually get depends on the fare you buy rather than the airline name, so compare baggage allowances, seat selection and meals across the options before you choose.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin is the main gateway and the closer of the two to the centre, with a train link, buses and taxis into town. Modlin lies well outside the city and is used mainly by low-cost carriers; from there you reach the centre by bus or coach, and some services also run to Chopin. Check which airport your ticket names before you book a transfer, and allow extra time if you land at Modlin. Late-night arrivals can mean fewer public transport options, so have a backup plan.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your whole trip is on one ticket, or leave a generous buffer between separate bookings.
• Confirm the baggage allowance on every leg, since a connecting itinerary can mix airlines with different rules.
• Check passport validity and entry requirements for Poland well before you fly.
• Note which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, F. Chopin or Modlin, before arranging a transfer.
• Book early if you are travelling around Mardi Gras, Christmas or the New Year, when seats on this route go quickly.
• All New Orleans flights leave from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, so there is no airport choice at that end.
