Cheap flights from Quito to Warsaw

January is the cheapest month for fares on this route, and the price calendar covers September through June, so the sweet spot sits in the northern winter and the shoulder months around it. Quito sits on the equator, where temperatures barely change through the year, while Warsaw swings from a cold, dark winter to a warm summer. Departing midweek usually costs less than a weekend departure, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year fill up early and stay expensive. If your dates are flexible, compare a January trip with one in late autumn or early spring before you commit.

The airlines that fly this route are Air Canada, Turkish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Copa Airlines, British Airways, Air Europa, Avianca, American Airlines, Iberia and Lanperu. They are network carriers rather than low-cost operators, so a checked bag tends to be part of the fare, though the lightest fare families on some of them leave the bag out and charge for seat selection. Because nothing flies non-stop, each of them sells a connecting itinerary, and what changes between them is where you change planes, how long the layover is, and whether the whole trip is on one ticket. A single ticket protects you if a connection is missed; two separate tickets do not.

Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and they are not in the same place. F. Chopin is the main one, close enough to the centre for a short bus, tram or taxi ride, which makes it the easier arrival. Modlin sits well outside the city and is reached by a dedicated shuttle bus or rail link, so add time for the transfer and check the last departure of the day before you land. Before you book, make sure you know which airport your ticket names — a change of airport in Warsaw is not something you want to discover on arrival.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which Warsaw airport your ticket names, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Check the baggage allowance on the cheapest fare, as the lightest fares on some carriers exclude a checked bag.
• If your itinerary is split across separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights, because a missed connection is not protected.
• Check the entry rules for Poland well ahead, including passport validity and any visa your nationality needs.
• Book early for travel around Christmas and New Year, and look at January if your dates are flexible.
• Compare total journey time and layover length, not just the headline fare.
