Cheap flights from Shenzhen to Warsaw

October is the cheapest month for this route, and the months around it in autumn and late winter usually come close. Summer and the weeks around Chinese New Year and Golden Week are the busiest, when seats out of Shenzhen fill early and fares climb. In Warsaw, the Christmas and New Year period and the long weekends in spring pull prices up on the return direction. Midweek departures tend to be quieter than Friday and Sunday flights. Book well ahead for summer and holiday travel, and use the calendar to see how the rest of the year compares.

The airlines that appear on this route are Etihad Airways, Sichuan Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Uni Air, Hainan Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Air China and Singapore Airlines. None of them is a low-cost carrier in the classic sense, so the difference is not hand luggage versus checked bags but the fare family you pick and where you change planes. Full-service fares often include a checked bag and meals, but the cheaper fare classes on the same airline may not, so read what each fare includes before comparing totals. Some carriers sell the whole trip on one ticket, others cover only one leg, which matters if a connection is missed.

Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and they are not interchangeable. Chopin sits close to the city centre and is the one most long-haul itineraries use, with buses, trains and taxis reaching the middle of town in a short ride. Modlin lies well outside Warsaw, so getting in means a coach or a train plus a transfer, and the trip takes noticeably longer. Check which airport your ticket names before you arrange a pickup, and allow extra time on the way back if you are leaving from Modlin.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight lands at, since the city has two and they sit far apart.
• Confirm the baggage allowance on every leg, especially when the itinerary mixes different carriers.
• If the trip is booked as separate tickets, leave a generous buffer between flights, because a missed connection is not protected.
• Check passport and visa requirements for Poland and the Schengen area before you pay.
• Decide how flexible your dates are, since fares move a lot between the cheapest month and the summer peak.
• Look at where you change planes and how long the layover is, as some routings involve more than one stop.
