Cheap flights from Poznan to Houston

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar carries fares for September, October, November, December, February, March and April. Late autumn and the weeks after the winter holidays are the quiet stretches, while the run-up to Christmas and the summer peak push fares up. Midweek departures, Tuesday to Thursday, tend to cost less than a weekend flight, and spring or autumn is a kinder time to land in Houston than the humid summer. If your dates are flexible, book a connecting itinerary a few weeks out and watch the calendar.

Every itinerary here is a connection, so choosing an airline really means choosing a hub. Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline and Air Dolomiti route you through Germany, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines through Amsterdam, Scandinavian Airlines through Scandinavia, and LOT Polish Airlines through Warsaw. United Airlines and Delta Air Lines carry the transatlantic and US legs, while Fly Dubai and Braathens Regional Aviation appear in some combinations. Fares differ more by ticket type than by brand, so compare what each fare includes, from baggage to seat selection, before you take the lowest line.

Houston shows up in the results with two airports, and which one you land at depends on your connection. Hobby is the closer of the two to downtown, while George Bush Intercontinental sits further north. Neither is a short walk from the centre, so plan on a taxi, rideshare or shuttle for the last leg, and add time if you arrive in the evening rush. Check the airport code on your ticket before you arrange ground transport, because a Houston arrival can mean either one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Poznan has a single airport, Lawica, so there is no departure-airport choice to make at the Polish end.
• Confirm what baggage your fare includes, since a light transatlantic ticket and a standard one differ sharply on checked bags.
• If the legs are booked on separate tickets, the second airline will not protect you when the first one runs late.
• Check your passport and US entry authorisation well before departure, as these take time to come through.
• Compare dates around November, the cheapest month, before you lock in a peak-season fare.
• Leave a comfortable buffer at your hub, because a tight change in winter weather is the usual way this trip goes wrong.
