Cheap flights from Sarajevo to Warsaw

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the weeks either side of it stay quiet as well. Spring and early summer bring warmer weather in both cities, and fares climb with them; the price calendar covers September through July, so you can see how each month compares before you commit. Weekday departures are usually calmer and cheaper than weekend ones, with Friday and Sunday evenings the busiest. Watch the winter holidays and the spring long weekends, when demand between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland picks up.

Ten carriers serve this route, a mix of budget and full-service names. Wizz Air Malta is the low-cost option, with Eurowings and Sun Express also leaning towards the cheaper end of the market. Croatia Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, Scandinavian Airlines, Turkish Airlines and Air Serbia are the full-service carriers. Some fly you straight there, while others route you through a hub, which can mean a longer travel day but sometimes a fare or a schedule that suits you better. Budget fares usually come with less included, so check what your ticket covers before you compare it with a full-service one.

Warsaw has two airports and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin is the main one and the closer of the two to the centre, with bus and train links plus taxis and ride-hailing doing the run into town. Modlin sits well outside the city and takes longer to reach, so a cheaper fare there can cost you more once you add the transfer. Check your booking before you leave, because landing at the wrong airport for your plans means a long detour across the city.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport you land at, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and the transfer differs.
• Confirm what your fare includes if you book a low-cost ticket, since cabin and checked baggage are often charged on top.
• Watch the connection time if your trip is on two separate tickets, because a missed leg is not covered by the other airline.
• Make sure your passport or identity card meets the entry rules for Poland and stays valid for the whole trip.
• Aim for January if you want cheaper fares, and book early for the winter holidays and the spring long weekends.
• Sarajevo has one airport, so the departure side is simple, but leave time for the run out to the terminal.
