Cheap flights from Szczecin to Warsaw

March is when fares on this route usually dip, and the price calendar below shows how the rest of the year moves. Late autumn and winter are generally quieter, while the run from spring into summer brings more demand and higher fares. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to be calmer than Friday evenings and Sunday nights, when people travel home. Watch the Polish holiday periods around Christmas, Easter and the long weekends in May, plus the start and end of school breaks, when seats fill earlier and the cheaper fares go first.

LOT Polish Airlines is the carrier on this route and flies it non-stop, so you board in Szczecin and land in Warsaw without a change of plane. It is a full-service airline rather than a low-cost one, and that usually shows in what a fare covers: a cabin bag, often a checked allowance, and fewer extras added at the end of booking. The exact contents depend on the fare you choose, so read the baggage and change rules before you pay. If Warsaw is only a stop on a longer trip, keep the whole journey on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at shapes your plan. F. Chopin sits close to the city and is a short bus, train or taxi ride from the centre, and it handles most of the traffic on this route. Modlin lies well outside town to the north, so allow real time for the transfer: buses and rail services run into the city, and the journey takes noticeably longer than from Chopin. Check your arrival airport before booking ground transport, because a ticket bought for one is no use at the other. Late arrivals mean thinner public transport, so have a fallback in mind.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check your departure airport, since Szczecin flights use Goleniow, which sits outside the city and needs a transfer.
• Confirm what your LOT fare includes, as baggage and seat rules change with the fare family.
• Leave a generous gap if you are connecting onward on a separate ticket.
• Both cities are in Poland, so a valid national ID card or passport covers the journey.
• Book early if you are flying around Christmas, Easter or the May long weekends.
• Compare March against your own dates, since that month usually brings the lowest fares.
