Cheap flights from Poznan to Nice

October is the cheapest month on this route, and fares stay low through November and into the winter, when fewer people fly south. September and late spring are the sweet spots if you want warm sea without peak-season fares. Weekday departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. Avoid the school holidays around Christmas, the February break and the French summer exodus in late July and August, when seats to the Riviera fill up early. Book a few weeks ahead for autumn, and earlier for summer travel.

There are no direct flights, so every itinerary involves at least one connection. Wizz Air and Wizz Air UK are the low-cost options, with fares that cover a seat and a small cabin bag and charge extra for checked luggage or a chosen seat. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France and ITA Airways are full-service carriers, so a checked bag and a meal are usually included, and connections through Warsaw, Munich, Amsterdam, Paris or Rome are common. Scandinavian Airlines, Braathens Regional Aviation and Helvetic Airways also appear on some routings. Compare the total with bags added, not just the headline fare.

You land at Cote D'Azur, the airport for Nice and the wider French Riviera. It sits right on the coast, a short ride from the city centre, so a bus, a train or a taxi gets you into town quickly. The bus is the low-cost way in, trains from the airport station are quick if your hotel is near the line, and taxis are easiest with luggage or a late arrival. The airport has more than one terminal, so check which one your flight uses before you arrange a pickup. If you are heading on to Cannes, Antibes or Monaco, onward trains and buses leave from near the airport.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate bookings mean you reclaim and recheck your bags.
• On Wizz Air and Wizz Air UK, price a checked bag and a seat before comparing with a full-service fare.
• Poznan flies from Lawica, so confirm your departure airport and allow time to reach it.
• France requires a valid passport or identity card, so check yours is in date before booking.
• October is the cheapest month, but fares climb for Christmas, the winter break and the summer peak.
• Leave a comfortable gap at the connecting airport, since one-stop itineraries are the first to slip.
