Cheap flights from Sharm El Sheikh to Warsaw

December comes out cheapest on this route, and it falls in the middle of the season when the Red Sea is warm and easy to swim in, with mild days and cooler evenings. From September through April the route fills up quickly, and the Christmas, New Year and Polish school holiday weeks push fares up sharply, so book those well ahead. Spring and autumn suit Warsaw itself, mild and green, while midsummer there is warm and the Egyptian coast is hot. Flying midweek, Tuesday to Thursday, usually costs less than a weekend departure, and a morning flight leaves you more room if plans change.

Several carriers fly between Sharm El Sheikh and Warsaw, and they split into two groups. The low-cost side includes Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK, Easyjet and SkyUp MT, with Pegasus, Sun Express and Neos Air covering the leisure and charter end of the market. Aegean Airlines and Turkish Airlines are the full-service names here, and they often route through a hub rather than flying straight. What you get differs: a low-cost ticket usually covers your seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage, seat choice and food added on, while a full-service fare tends to bundle more in. Check the fare rules on the booking page before you decide.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at shapes your first hour in the city. F. Chopin sits inside Warsaw, a short ride from the centre by bus, train or taxi. Modlin lies well to the north, outside the city, and getting in usually means a shuttle bus or a train connection with a transfer, so allow extra time. Check the airport name on your ticket before you fly, because the two are not interchangeable and a transfer between them eats into your day. Late arrivals at Modlin are the ones to watch, since the shuttle and rail links thin out at night, so have a backup plan ready.

• Confirm which Warsaw airport your flight lands at, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart.
• Check what your low-cost fare includes and add any checked baggage before you get to the airport.
• If you are booking separate tickets for a connection, leave a generous gap so a delay on the first leg does not cost you the second.
• Make sure your passport is valid well beyond your travel dates and check the current entry rules for Poland.

• Decide between the Red Sea beach season and a milder spring or autumn trip before you lock in dates.
