Cheap flights from Stockholm to Warsaw

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar usually shows the deepest dips in the first weeks of the year, once the Christmas rush is over. Winter in both cities is dark and cold, which keeps fares down, while late spring, summer and the run-up to Christmas are the busiest and priciest stretches. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday evenings and Sunday returns. Watch Swedish school breaks, Midsummer, and Polish long weekends in May and around All Saints' Day, when seats go early. Book a few weeks ahead for ordinary dates, and further out for holidays.

Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost carriers here, with fares that cover a seat and a small cabin bag and not much else, so add a checked bag or a seat choice only if you actually need it. Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian, Norwegian International, LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are the full-service options, where a checked bag and refreshments depend on the fare family you pick. Nordic Regional Airlines and Mokulele Flight Service also appear among the carriers listed for this route. Direct flights exist, but some itineraries connect instead, so check the routing and the total travel time before you commit.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin sits close to the city, a short ride from the centre by taxi, ride-hailing app, bus or the commuter train that runs to the central stations. Modlin lies well outside town to the north, and reaching the centre means a shuttle bus or a train connection, which adds real time to the journey. Check which airport your ticket names before booking, and think about your arrival hour, because the train and bus options thin out late in the evening. If you land at Modlin, plan the last leg in advance rather than sorting it out on the pavement.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from Arlanda or Skavsta International, since they sit on opposite sides of Stockholm.
• Confirm what your low-cost fare includes, especially cabin bag size and whether a checked bag is added.
• If a connection is on separate tickets, leave a generous gap and expect to collect and re-check your own bags.
• Carry a valid passport or national identity card, since airlines check documents even within the Schengen area.
• Decide between F. Chopin and Modlin before you book, because the transfer into Warsaw differs a lot.
• Book early for Christmas, New Year, Easter and the Polish long weekends, and look at January if your dates are flexible.
