Cheap flights from Vienna to Wroclaw

December is the cheapest month in the fare data, and it is also when both cities fill up for the Christmas markets, so the low prices sit right next to the busiest dates — book those weeks early. Spring and autumn are the calm middle ground, with prices already on the calendar for September, October, November, January, February, March, April and August. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday, and connections are easier to find outside the early morning and evening peaks. Watch Polish public holidays and Austrian school breaks, when the same seats sell for more.

Every option on this route is a connection, and the airline mix is wide. Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines and ITA Airways are the full-service names, and they usually sell a fare that includes a cabin bag and often a checked one. Eurowings, Cityjet, Braathens Regional Aviation and Air Dolomiti sit at the lighter end, where the seat is priced on its own and bags, seat choice and changes are added at checkout. On a connecting trip the two legs are often flown by different carriers, so compare what each fare actually includes rather than the headline figure.

You land at Strachowice, Wroclaw's airport, a short ride outside the city rather than a walk from the centre. Buses run between the terminal and the middle of town, and taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals; the ride is the simplest option if you land late. Allow time for the transfer when you plan the rest of your day, and have some local currency or a working card ready for the bus. If your connection puts you in after midnight, check that your onward transport still runs.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you leave from Schwechat Intl — Vienna has a single airport, so there is nothing to mix up.
• With no direct flights, study the connection time and the change airport; a tight transfer is where cheap itineraries fall apart.
• If the legs are on separate tickets, a missed connection is your problem, not the airline's, so weigh that against the saving.
• Read the baggage rules on the lighter fares from Eurowings, Cityjet, Braathens Regional Aviation and Air Dolomiti before comparing totals.
• Make sure your passport or ID card is valid and meets the entry rules for Poland.
• Book December early if the Christmas markets are the point of the trip, and check the price calendar first.
