Cheap flights from San Salvador to Warsaw

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it sits inside the window where fares are published, which runs from September through March. Outside that window there is little to compare, so if your dates are flexible, aim at the colder months on the calendar rather than the middle of the year. The end-of-year holidays fall inside that window and push prices up, so book well ahead if you want to travel around Christmas or New Year. Midweek departures often price differently from weekend ones, so test both before you commit.

Nine carriers are listed on this route: Avianca, Copa Airlines, Taca Intl Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Air Europa, American Airlines, United Airlines, Iberia and AeroMéxico. None of them is a low-cost carrier in the strict sense, they are network airlines, so the fare you choose matters more than the name on the tail. There are no direct flights, so every one of them sells you a connecting itinerary, and the difference between them comes down to where you change and how long the layover is. What is included in the fare, from checked baggage to seat selection, varies by ticket type rather than by airline, so read the fare conditions before you book.

Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and they are not interchangeable. Chopin is the main gateway and the closer of the two to the city centre, with bus and rail links plus taxis doing the run into town. Modlin sits well outside the city and needs a longer transfer, usually by coach or shuttle, so build that time into your plans. Check your ticket before you fly: the airport code decides where you land, and a connection that looks convenient into Chopin can turn into a long ride if you arrive at Modlin instead.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that Comalapa International is your departure airport, since it is the only one serving San Salvador.
• Confirm which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, F. Chopin or Modlin, and how you will get from there to where you are staying.
• Read the baggage allowance on the exact fare you are buying, since a cheaper ticket type may not include a checked bag.
• If your trip is built from separate tickets, leave a generous buffer between flights, since a missed connection is not protected.
• Check the entry requirements and passport validity rules for Poland well before departure.
• Book early for December and January travel, and remember that February is usually the cheapest month on this route.
