Cheap flights from Seoul to Poznan

February is the cheapest month on this route, and it falls in the quiet stretch after the New Year rush. Winter also brings Seollal, when seats out of Incheon International fill quickly, so book early if your dates sit near the Lunar New Year. Spring and autumn are the busiest windows and the priciest, while midsummer is missing from the fare calendar altogether. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and a longer layover on the connection often trims the fare further.

Every carrier flying between South Korea and Poland here is a full-service airline, so there is no budget option on the route. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Swiss and Finnair bring you into Europe through their own hubs, while Emirates, Etihad Airways, All Nippon Airways and China Eastern Airlines route you through the Gulf or Asia first. The real difference is where you change planes and how long you wait there. What is included depends on the fare you pick rather than the airline, so compare the baggage line as closely as the fare itself.

Poznan has a single airport, Lawica, and it sits close to the city, so the transfer into the centre is short. Buses and taxis both run from the terminal, with the taxi rank right outside arrivals, and a ride-hailing app works if you have data on landing. Because every itinerary from Seoul involves a connection, your bags may be checked through to Poznan or you may need to collect and re-check them, depending on how the tickets were issued. Late arrivals mean fewer buses, so keep a backup plan for the last stretch and have a card ready for your first hours in Poland.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide between Gimpo International and Incheon International before you search, because the two serve different sets of connections.
• Look at the total journey time rather than the first leg alone, since every itinerary here includes at least one stop.
• Check whether your bags are through-checked when the connection is booked as separate tickets.
• Make sure your passport and any entry paperwork for Poland are valid well before departure.
• Use the price calendar for the month you want, because February usually comes out lowest.
