Cheap flights from Poznan to Vienna

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar shows fares on the softer side from late autumn through winter, with September and October worth a look too. The catch is the holiday window: Christmas and New Year fall inside that cheap stretch and push fares up, so aim for the weeks after the decorations come down. Midweek departures tend to undercut Friday and Sunday, when most people want to fly. Fares are listed for September through April and again in July, so check the calendar before you fix your dates.

There are no low-cost carriers on this city pair. What you get instead is a mix of full-service and regional operators: LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its regional arm KLM Cityhopper, Air France, Scandinavian Airlines, Air Baltic, Air Dolomiti, Helvetic Airways, Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation. All of them sell this as a connecting itinerary, so the real differences lie in the connection, the cabin and what the fare includes. On the smaller regional aircraft flown by Cityjet, KLM Cityhopper and Braathens, cabin space is tight, so measure your bag before you pack it.

You land at Vienna Schwechat, the airport serving the Austrian capital, and it sits outside the city rather than on its edge. Trains and the airport bus both run from the terminal into the centre, with the train the quicker option and the bus the slower one when traffic builds. Because your flight from Poznan Lawica comes with a change of planes, your hold bag is normally checked through to Vienna, but keep essentials with you in case the connection is tight. If you land late, note that the last trains thin out, and a taxi from the terminal is the fallback.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Poznan has one airport, Lawica, so there is no departure airport to choose between.
• Every itinerary on this route involves a change of planes, so look at the connection time before you pick a fare.
• If the legs are sold as separate tickets, a delay on the first flight is your problem rather than the airline's.
• Check what the fare includes, since a cabin bag is standard on full-service tickets but hold luggage depends on the fare family.
• Carry a passport or identity card, because Austria sits in the Schengen area and carriers still check documents at the gate.
• If your dates are flexible, aim at the January window, when this route is at its cheapest.
