Cheap flights from Sofia to Poznan

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the fare calendar covers September through February, so the whole autumn-to-winter stretch is worth comparing before you lock in dates. Late autumn and the weeks after New Year are quiet; the run-up to Christmas is the opposite, with people in both Bulgaria and Poland travelling home at the same time. If your plans are flexible, midweek departures usually price lower than Friday flights and Sunday returns. Once you have a fixed date, book rather than wait for a sale — on a connecting route the cheaper seats go first as the cabin fills.

No airline flies Sofia to Poznan nonstop, so every option here is a connecting itinerary, and the mix leans towards full-service network carriers: Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, Swiss and Aegean Airlines. Air Baltic, Helvetic Airways, Fly Dubai and El Al Israel Airlines also appear on this pair, each with its own connections and its own baggage rules. On the full-service names the fare family decides what you get — a light ticket may cover only a cabin bag, while a higher fare includes checked luggage. Compare the total rather than the headline fare, because a cheap ticket plus a paid bag can end up costing more than a flexible one.

You land at Lawica, Poznan's airport, which sits close to the city rather than far out in the countryside, so the transfer into the centre is short. Buses and taxis both cover that run, and it is worth checking the last connection of the evening if your flight arrives late. If the whole trip is on one ticket, your checked bag is normally tagged through to Poznan and you simply change planes at the hub; if you booked the legs separately, you collect your bag, clear arrivals and check in again, which needs a much longer buffer. Keep your onward plans loose on arrival day.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that both legs sit on one ticket, not two separate bookings, before you pay.
• Sofia Airport is the only departure point on the Bulgarian side, so there is no airport choice to make there.
• On light fares, confirm whether a checked bag is included or added at extra cost.
• Check your passport or ID card is valid for the whole trip and that the name matches the ticket.
• Allow a generous connection time at the hub, especially if your legs are booked separately.
• If your dates can move, compare November against the rest of the September to February window.
