Cheap flights from Poznan to Athens

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar carries fares for September, October, November and December, then January, February, April, May, July and August. Summer is peak: July and August fill with island hoppers and Greeks heading home, and Athens turns hot. Spring and autumn are the comfortable window for sightseeing, while winter is mild and quiet, which is why fares fall. Midweek departures are usually calmer than weekend ones. Book early for summer travel and leave winter bookings later.

The airlines on this route are a mixed group: LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with its KLM Cityhopper partner, Lufthansa and Air Dolomiti, Swiss and Helvetic Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, Cityjet and CitizenPlane. Direct flights exist, so you can pick a non-stop and skip the transfer. Connecting itineraries usually change planes at a hub and may hand one leg to a partner carrier, so the name on the boarding pass is not always the name you booked. What is included varies by fare, so read the baggage and seat rules for your own ticket instead of assuming they are the same across carriers.

You land at Eleftherios Venizelos, the airport serving Athens, which sits well outside the city, so treat the transfer as part of the journey. Metro, suburban rail, express buses and taxis all run into the centre; rail and metro dodge the traffic, and the taxi rank waits outside arrivals. If you land late, check the last transfer of the day before you commit. On the Poznan side you leave from Lawica, the city's only airport, so there is no wrong-airport risk on the way out.
