Cheap Flights from Salzburg to Warsaw

The cheapest month on this route is December, and the price calendar covers September through May, so the widest choice of dates falls in autumn, winter and early spring. If your plans are flexible, start with December and work outwards from there. Book a few weeks ahead for winter departures, and earlier still if you are travelling over the end of the year, when connecting seats go first. Spring and autumn are the calmer stretches for a trip like this, with more room to move your dates around.

Ten airlines appear on this route, and none of them fly it nonstop, so every itinerary here is a connecting one. Transavia and the two Eurowings brands are the low-cost names in the list; Lufthansa, Austrian, British Airways, BA EuroFlyer, Scandinavian Airlines, Turkish Airlines and El Al Israel Airlines are full-service carriers. The practical difference is what comes bundled with the fare, so read the baggage allowance and the change rules before you choose. Where you change planes matters as much as which carrier you start with.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable: F. Chopin is the closer of the two to the centre, while Modlin sits further out and adds a longer transfer at either end of your stay. Both are linked to the city by bus, and rail connections run from the main one, with taxis and ride-hailing available at both. Check which airport your ticket actually names before you book a hotel, and leave generous time on the way back if your flight home is early in the morning.
