Cheap flights from Recife to Warsaw

November is the cheapest month to fly from Recife to Warsaw, and the weeks on either side usually sit close to it. Recife stays warm all year, so the season that matters is Warsaw's: spring and early autumn are mild and easy to walk, winter is dark and cold, and summer brings the crowds and the higher fares. Midweek departures tend to cost less than weekend ones. Book a few months ahead if you want the cheaper months, and expect the weeks around Christmas, New Year and Easter to fill up early.

The airlines on this route fall into two camps. GOL, Azul and the two LATAM names are the Brazilian carriers, whose fares tend to price bags and seat choice separately. TAP Portugal, Iberia, ITA Airways, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines are the full-service options, where a checked allowance and meals usually come with the ticket. Some itineraries are nonstop, but most involve a change at a hub in Europe or North America, and the length of that connection matters as much as the fare. Check what is included before you compare prices.

Warsaw has two airports, and your ticket decides which one you land at. F. Chopin is the closer of the two, a short ride from the centre with a train link and city buses running into town. Modlin sits well outside the city and needs a longer transfer, usually by a dedicated shuttle bus or a taxi booked ahead. Check which airport your booking uses before you arrange a pickup, and if you land late, sort your transport before you fly rather than at the kerb. Carry some local currency for the ride in, and be wary of unlicensed drivers offering fares at the exit.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Recife departures all leave from Guararapes International, so confirm the airport on your ticket before booking a transfer.
• On GOL, Azul and LATAM fares, check whether a checked bag is included or sold separately.
• If your trip is split across two tickets, leave a generous gap between the flights in case the first one runs late.
• Check that your passport and any visa or entry rules for Poland are valid well before departure.
• For the cheaper months, book early — seats around Christmas, New Year and Easter go first.
• Confirm whether you land at F. Chopin or Modlin, since the transfer into Warsaw differs.
