Cheap Flights from Praia to Warsaw

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar runs from September through February and again in April. Winter is low season on both ends: Cape Verde stays warm while Warsaw turns cold, and fares ease once the Christmas rush is over. Summer is the opposite, with Polish holiday travel pushing fares up from June onward. If you can move your dates, aim for a midweek departure outside school breaks rather than a Friday or Sunday. Book a few months ahead for the winter sun season and earlier still if you are travelling around Christmas, New Year or the Easter period.

Five airlines show up on this route: SATA Azores Airlines, TAP Portugal, Edelweiss Air, Royal Air Maroc and ASKY Airlines. They are network carriers rather than budget ones, and none of them flies Praia to Warsaw non-stop, so every option is a connecting itinerary with at least one stop. TAP Portugal and Royal Air Maroc connect through their home hubs in Lisbon and Casablanca, while SATA Azores Airlines and Edelweiss Air add island and seasonal routings. What is included depends on the fare family you pick rather than on the airline, so compare baggage and seat rules before you decide.

Warsaw has two airports, and your ticket decides which one you land at. F. Chopin sits close to the city, a short ride from the centre by train, bus or taxi, and it handles most of the long-haul arrivals. Modlin lies well outside Warsaw to the north and is served mainly by coaches and shuttle buses timed around flight arrivals, so allow extra time for the transfer. Check the airport code on your itinerary before you book onward transport, and if you land late at night, confirm that buses are still running or arrange a transfer in advance.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Praia departures leave from Francisco Mendes, the city's only airport, so there is no terminal choice to make on the Cape Verde side.
• Check whether your ticket lands at F. Chopin or Modlin in Warsaw, because the two airports are far apart.
• If your itinerary is built from separate tickets, leave a generous buffer so a delayed first leg does not cost you the second.
• Compare fare families rather than airlines, since baggage and seat selection vary with the fare you buy.
• Confirm your passport validity and any entry requirements for Poland well before departure.
• Look at February first if your dates are flexible, and check the price calendar for the months around it.
