Cheap flights from Panama City to Warsaw

Fares on this route dip in April, which is the cheapest month in the calendar here. The rest of the year stays fairly even, with prices shown from September through May and again in July. Warsaw is coldest from late autumn into early spring, while April brings milder weather and the long weekends around Easter and the May holidays, so book early if you plan to travel then. Flights leaving midweek, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to be quieter and cheaper than weekend departures, and the same goes for the return leg. Give yourself a few weeks of lead time in high season, and more around Christmas and New Year.

Every airline on this route is a full-service carrier, and none of them flies non-stop, so you will always change planes somewhere. Copa Airlines and Avianca funnel travellers through their hubs in the Americas, while Lufthansa, Swiss, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Turkish Airlines and Air Europa connect through their home bases in Europe. LOT Polish Airlines is the one that brings you into Warsaw on its own metal for the last leg, and Condor is the leisure-minded option in the group. What you get for the fare differs by ticket type rather than by airline: baggage, seat choice and changes are usually add-ons on the lighter fares, so compare the total, not the headline.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin sits close to the city and is the one most long-haul itineraries use; buses, trains and taxis get you to the centre quickly. Modlin lies well outside the city to the north and handles mostly shorter, leisure-style flights, with shuttle buses and coaches timed to meet arrivals. Check which airport your ticket names before you arrange a transfer, because a ride booked to the wrong one is a long detour. Late arrivals can mean thinner public transport, so have a plan for getting in after dark.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Panama City has two airports, so confirm whether you leave from Paitilla or Tocumen International before you book.
• Check the baggage allowance on your fare, since a cheap ticket often covers only a cabin bag.
• If your trip is split across separate tickets, leave a long buffer for the connection in case the first flight is late.
• Make sure your passport and any entry documents for Poland are valid for the whole trip, including any layover country outside the Schengen area.
• Decide whether you want to land at F. Chopin or Modlin, because the airport changes how you get into the city.
• Book early if you are travelling in April or around the winter holidays, when seats fill fastest.
