Cheap flights from Poznan to Antalya

When to fly: September is the cheapest month on this route, when the summer crowds thin and the sea is still warm. Fares climb through the school holidays in July and August, and again around Christmas and the New Year, when Poles escape the grey for a bit of winter sun. Spring and late autumn are quieter. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead helps on summer dates. The price calendar above shows what each month actually costs.

Several carriers fly this route, and they differ in what you get. Wizz Air, Wizz Air UK and Buzz are the low-cost options, with hand luggage only in the basic fare and everything else paid for separately. Smartwings Poland, Enter Air, Mavi Gok Aviation and CitizenPlane mostly fly holiday charters, so seats often come as part of a package or a block booking. LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa are the full-service choices, usually with a connection and a checked bag included, and Air Baltic is another connecting option. Check whether your ticket is direct or a connection before you book.

Arriving at Antalya airport, you land close to the city rather than far out in the countryside, so the transfer into the centre is short. Buses, taxis and pre-booked hotel transfers all leave from the terminal, and if you are heading to a resort further along the coast, the drive takes longer. In peak summer, passport control and baggage claim get busy, so build in some slack. Have your transfer arranged before you land, and check which terminal your flight uses.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure airport is Lawica, since Poznan has one airport and the name on your ticket should match.
• Look at what the low-cost fare includes, because hand luggage only is standard on Wizz Air, Wizz Air UK and Buzz.
• If your ticket is a connection rather than a direct flight, make sure the whole trip is on one booking so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Confirm your passport and any visa or entry rules for Turkey before you pay, and check that it stays valid for your whole stay.
• Book early for July and August, and compare September, the cheapest month, against the shoulder weeks either side.
• Decide on a transfer or a taxi from Antalya airport before you land.
