Cheap flights from Newcastle to Warsaw

December is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the winter months around it, November, January and February, stay close behind, so a cold-weather trip is the value option. September and October are a good compromise: the Polish summer crowds are gone, the light is still good, and fares have not yet climbed. Summer is peak for both cities, with school holidays pushing prices up on both ends. Midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday tend to be quieter than Friday and Sunday. Watch the run-up to Christmas and the New Year, when Poles fly home and Newcastle travellers head out at the same time, and book well ahead for those weeks.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so the carriers listed here sell connections rather than direct flights. Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names, with fares that cover a seat and a small cabin bag; checked luggage, seat selection and food cost extra. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa Cityline, British Airways, Aer Lingus, Eurowings and HOP! are full-service, so a hold bag and a snack are usually included, and the airline rebooks you if a connection is missed. Sun Express and Emirates also appear on some itineraries. Full-service tickets usually cover the whole trip in one booking; on low-cost and mixed itineraries, check whether the legs are protected.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at changes the last leg of the trip. F. Chopin is the closer of the two, a short ride from the centre, with a train link, city buses and taxis from the terminal. Modlin sits well outside the city to the north, so allow more time: a dedicated shuttle bus and the rail link are the usual ways in. Check the airport on your booking before you plan the transfer, because low-cost tickets often land at Modlin while full-service connections use Chopin. Late arrivals leave fewer buses and trains running, so have a backup plan.
