Cheap flights from Vilnius to Warsaw

November is when fares on this route tend to be at their lowest, in the quieter stretch after the summer rush and before the Christmas travel period. September and October still hold on to decent weather in both cities, while spring and early summer fill up with city-break travellers. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, when people fly out and back for the weekend. Avoid the days around Christmas, New Year and Easter if you can be flexible, and book a few weeks ahead when your dates are fixed.

Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and Wizz Air keep fares down, and Norwegian and Norwegian International also serve the route, with Air Baltic covering the region from its Baltic base. Full-service options include LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Finnair and Scandinavian Airlines, often with a connection through their hubs, while Cityjet flies regional services. On low-cost tickets you pay extra for checked bags and usually for seat selection, and food and drink are chargeable. Full-service fares normally include a cabin bag and a checked allowance, with a meal on longer legs.

Warsaw has two airports. F. Chopin sits close to the city, a short ride from the centre by bus, train or taxi, and it handles most arrivals from Vilnius. Modlin lies well outside town to the north and is used mainly by low-cost carriers; from there you reach the centre by shuttle bus or train, and the trip takes considerably longer, so allow extra time. Check which airport your ticket names before you book ground transport, and if you land late, make sure your onward connection still runs.

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart.

• If your trip is built from separate tickets, leave a generous gap in case the first leg is delayed.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card accepted for travel to Poland.
• Book early for Christmas, New Year and Easter, when seats go quickly.
• Compare November departures, the month when fares on this route are usually lowest.
