Cheap flights from Nice to Warsaw

December is the month with the lowest fares on this route, and prices are listed for every month of the year, so you can compare the whole calendar before you commit. Summer on the Riviera and the run-up to Christmas in Warsaw are the peak periods, while late autumn and the weeks after the New Year tend to be quieter. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and it pays to book a few weeks ahead when a public holiday or school break falls in either country.

Low-cost carriers on this route include Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet, Transavia France, Vueling Airlines and Norwegian International, and they usually keep the base fare low by charging for extras such as checked bags and seat selection. Full-service airlines such as KLM, KLM Cityhopper, Scandinavian Airlines and Air Nostrum tend to include more in the ticket, though the exact allowance depends on the fare you choose. Direct flights are available, and some of the listed airlines also sell connecting itineraries, so check whether your trip is non-stop or runs through a hub before you book.

Warsaw has two airports: F. Chopin, which sits closer to the city centre, and Modlin, which is further out and mostly used by low-cost carriers. From Chopin you can reach the centre by train, bus or taxi, and the journey is straightforward. Modlin is less convenient, with a bus connection into Warsaw and to Chopin airport, so allow extra time if you land there. Check which airport your flight uses before you book, because the two are on opposite sides of the city and the transfer makes a real difference to your arrival.
