Cheap flights from Poznan to Abu Dhabi

December is the cheapest month for this route, and the price calendar also holds fares for September, October, November, January and April. Autumn and early winter tend to be quieter on the Poznan side, while the Emirates fill up once the European winter sets in, so the weeks around Christmas and New Year are the ones to book well ahead. Flying out midweek and coming back on a weekday usually costs less than a weekend-to-weekend trip. If your dates are flexible, compare a December departure with a January one before you commit, and check the calendar for the months that suit your plans.

Nothing flies Poznan to Abu Dhabi non-stop, so every option is a connecting itinerary, and the airlines that show up are mostly full-service names: LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss and Scandinavian Airlines. Regional operators do much of the short flying — Lufthansa Cityline, KLM Cityhopper, Cityjet, Helvetic Airways and Braathens Regional Aviation — usually on the first leg out of Lawica, with the long haul on the bigger brand. There is no low-cost carrier on this route, so you are comparing full-service fares rather than bare ones, and the allowance on the regional leg can differ from the mainline one.

Abu Dhabi International is the airport you land at, on the edge of the city rather than in the middle of it. A taxi or a ride-hailing car into the centre is the straightforward choice and takes roughly half an hour outside peak traffic; the airport bus is the cheaper option if your flight lands at a sensible hour. If you arrive after midnight, check that buses are still running before you count on them. Allow time at immigration during the winter high season, when several long-haul arrivals can land close together. If a connection leaves you overnight in a European hub, decide in advance whether to sleep at the airport or take a room nearby.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your fare is one ticket all the way, not two separate bookings, so a delay on the first leg does not strand you.
• Confirm the baggage allowance for both legs, since the regional operator's rules can differ from the mainline carrier's.
• Look at the connection time in the hub before you buy, because a short change with a checked bag is where trips go wrong.
• Have your passport and UAE entry requirements sorted early, and check whether you need a transit visa for the country where you change.
• Book December travel well ahead, since it is the cheapest month on this route and the winter weeks fill up fast.
