Cheap flights from Warsaw to Alexandria

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar shows fares for September through April plus July, so autumn and winter give you the widest choice. Summer school holidays and the weeks around Christmas and New Year push fares up on the Warsaw end, while spring travel often lines up with Easter. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday ones, and booking a few months ahead helps on a connecting itinerary where the second leg sells out first.

Wizz Air is the low-cost option here, and Air Arabia also keeps fares lean, but neither flies nonstop, so both route you through a hub. The rest of the list is full-service: Lufthansa and its Cityline arm, Austrian, Aegean Airlines, Finnair, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways. What you get differs sharply: budget fares keep the base low and charge for extras, full-service fares bundle more. Compare the two before you commit, and remember that a budget hop to a hub plus a Gulf or Turkish carrier onward can beat one through-ticket.

Alexandria is served by Borg el Arab, the city's airport, and it sits well outside the built-up area, so build the transfer into your plans rather than treating it as a quick hop from the terminal. Taxis and shuttle buses are the usual ways into the centre, and the ride is long enough that you should agree the fare before you set off. If your connection lands late, check whether buses are still running before you count on them.
