Cheap flights from Thira to Warsaw

June is the cheapest month on this route, and the months around it behave differently: the Aegean high season pushes fares up in July and August, while late September and October bring milder weather and quieter planes. Winter is low season on Santorini, with fewer flights and many island businesses closed, so a trip then is more about getting to Warsaw than about the island. Warsaw sees heavier demand around the Polish holidays and the turn of the year, when families fly home. Midweek departures tend to be cheaper than weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead helps on summer dates.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name on this route, with a bare-fare model that means a cabin bag and any checked luggage cost extra. Aegean Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, Swiss and Edelweiss Air are full-service carriers, where a checked bag and usually a drink or snack come with the fare. Sky Express and Olympic Air cover Greek regional flying, often as the first leg of a connection. Hahn Air and Hahn Air Systems are interline specialists, so you may see them on a ticket rather than on the aircraft itself. Direct flights exist between Santorini and Warsaw, but many itineraries connect through a hub, so check the total travel time before you choose.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin sits close to the city, a short ride from the centre by train, bus or taxi, and it handles most of the long-standing carriers. Modlin is well outside town to the north, and getting in means a dedicated bus or shuttle timed to the flights, plus a longer journey. Check which airport your ticket names before you arrange a transfer, and if you land late, confirm that buses are still running or plan a taxi. Both airports have car hire and public transport links, but Modlin's connections are thinner outside peak hours.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and a transfer between them takes time.
• Confirm what your fare includes if you fly low-cost, since a cabin bag, a checked bag and a seat choice are usually add-ons.
• If your itinerary is built from separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights, as a missed connection is not protected.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for travel to Poland and meets the entry rules for your nationality.
• Book early for July and August, when demand runs high in both directions.
• Look at June first if price matters, since that is the cheapest month on this route.
