Cheap flights from Tehran to Warsaw

May comes out cheapest on this route, and the spring window around it is short, so it pays to book early. Autumn and early winter also show up with fares worth watching, while the deep winter months and the summer peak tend to run higher. Midweek departures are usually quieter than weekend ones at both ends. Avoid the days around Iranian New Year and the Christmas and New Year stretch if you can, when seats fill fast and connections get tight. For the rest of the year, booking a few weeks ahead is usually enough.

Pegasus and Fly Dubai are the low-cost names here, and their fares usually cover a seat and a cabin bag, with checked luggage added on top. Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and Emirates connect through their own hubs, so a single ticket keeps your bags checked through even when the stopover is long. Lufthansa, Austrian and Swiss route via German, Austrian and Swiss hubs, with full-service fares that normally include a checked bag. Delta Air Lines and American Airlines turn up on longer itineraries with an extra stop. On any connection, check whether the whole trip sits on one ticket.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin sits close to the city, with buses and trains running into the centre and taxis waiting outside arrivals. Modlin is well outside town to the north and relies on a shuttle bus or a train link to get you in, so add that leg to your plans before you land. Whichever you use, confirm the airport code on your ticket rather than the city name, and if you arrive late, check that public transport is still running or arrange a ride in advance.

Country facts: Wikidata

• If your ticket says Warsaw, check which airport it means, because F. Chopin and Modlin sit far apart and are not linked to each other.
• On a low-cost fare, work out what a checked bag adds before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• On a connection, make sure the whole journey is on one ticket so a missed leg is the airline's problem, not yours.
• Check the entry rules for Poland and your passport validity well before departure.
• Book early for May, the cheapest month, and again around Iranian New Year and the Christmas stretch.
• If you land at Modlin, plan the transfer into the city in advance.
