Cheap flights from Poznan to Washington

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers September through March — the cooler half of the year in both cities. Late autumn and the first weeks after New Year tend to be calmer, while the run-up to Christmas and the days around Thanksgiving in the United States are the busiest and fares climb. Midweek departures, Tuesday to Thursday, usually cost less than a weekend flight, and a longer stop in a hub can bring the fare down. If your dates are fixed, book a few weeks ahead.

Every airline on this route is a full-service or regional carrier — there is no low-cost option between Poznan and Washington. You will see LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa and its regional arm Lufthansa Cityline, Swiss, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with KLM Cityhopper, Scandinavian Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Helvetic Airways and Braathens Regional Aviation. Since nothing flies nonstop, most tickets pair a short feeder leg from Lawica with a long-haul flight from a European hub. Check the baggage allowance and the layover airport on each leg before you book.

Washington is served by three airports, and your ticket decides which one you land at. Ronald Reagan National is the closest to the centre and the easiest to reach by rail or taxi; Dulles International sits further out in Virginia and is usually reached by bus, shuttle or car; Baltimore is in Maryland, a longer transfer away and often the one that appears on connecting itineraries. Check the airport code on both legs before you book, because moving between them on arrival is a long trip. Allow extra time if you land late in the evening, when transfers thin out.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Poznan has one airport, Lawica, so make sure your ticket leaves from there and not from another city.
• Nothing flies nonstop, so check where you change planes and how long the connection is.
• On a connecting itinerary, find out whether both legs sit on one ticket or on two — separate tickets mean you collect your bags and check them in again.
• Check the baggage allowance on every leg before you pay, as it is set per flight.
• Make sure your passport and any United States entry paperwork are in order well before departure.
• If your dates are flexible, compare January with the autumn and spring months on the price calendar.
