Cheap flights from Surabaya to Warsaw

November is the cheapest month for this route, and the months around it, September, October, April and May, usually sit close behind. December is the busiest stretch, with the end-of-year holidays in Poland pushing fares up, and the Eid travel period does the same for departures from Indonesia. Midweek flights are generally quieter than weekend ones, so Tuesday and Wednesday departures often cost less than a Friday or Sunday. Book a few months ahead if you can: on a long connecting route like this, fares climb as the cheaper seats sell out, and the price calendar on this page shows how each month compares.

Every airline on this route connects, so you will change planes at least once, usually at the carrier's home hub. Garuda Indonesia, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and China Southern Airlines are full-service, with a checked bag and meals normally part of the fare. Scoot, Batik Air Indonesia, Malindo Air and Homer Air lean low-cost, where the fare you see usually covers a seat and a cabin bag, and the rest is added at booking. That difference matters on a long trip: on a budget fare, add the baggage and meal you actually need before you compare totals, and check how long each connection is.

Warsaw has two airports. F. Chopin, the main one, sits close to the city centre, while Modlin lies well to the north and handles mostly low-cost arrivals. From Chopin you reach the centre by train, bus or taxi in a short ride; from Modlin the journey takes longer and is usually done by shuttle bus or car, so build in extra time if you land late in the evening. Check which airport your ticket actually uses, because the two are far apart and a transfer between them is not something to arrange on arrival. Confirm your connecting airport too, since a long layover can push your arrival into the next day.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Confirm the baggage allowance on a low-cost fare before you book, as cabin-only tickets are common on this route.
• If your trip is booked as separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights, because a missed connection will not be protected.
• Look up the entry and visa rules for Poland well before departure, and check that your passport has enough validity left.
• Flights leave Surabaya from Juanda, so allow time for the drive to the airport and check your terminal.
• Book early for the cheaper months and avoid the end-of-year rush if your dates are flexible.
