Cheap flights from Warsaw to Alghero

October is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it also lands in a pleasant stretch on Sardinia, with warm sea and quieter beaches. September and the spring months of March, April and May sit close behind, then prices climb through June, July and August, when the island fills up and school holidays push demand higher. Midweek departures on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday tend to cost less than weekend ones, and Saturday is often the priciest. Book well ahead for summer travel, and keep an eye on Polish long weekends in May and around the start of November, plus Italian public holidays in mid-August, when both ends of the route get busy.

Wizz Air, Ryanair and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names on this route, and they are the ones to look at first if you want the direct hop from Warsaw to Alghero. LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Lufthansa Cityline and Swiss are full-service carriers, and their tickets on this pair usually mean a connection through a hub rather than a nonstop. Air Baltic sits somewhere between the two, with a mix of fares. The practical difference is what comes with the ticket: low-cost fares are cabin-only by default, with seat choice and checked bags added at a cost, while full-service fares generally include a checked bag and a meal or drink on board.

Alghero's airport is Fertilia, a small Sardinian field set a short drive outside the city, close enough that a taxi or a transfer gets you into the old town quickly. Buses run between the terminal and the centre, with timetables that thicken in summer and thin out in winter, so it is worth checking the schedule against your landing time before you commit. Car hire desks sit at the airport if you plan to explore the coast and the beaches north and south of Alghero. Late arrivals can be awkward: some services stop for the night, and taxis may be limited, so arrange a transfer in advance if you land in the evening.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your departure is from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw uses both airports and they sit far apart.
• On a low-cost ticket, check the cabin bag and checked bag rules before you pay, since they are sold separately.
• If your trip is stitched from separate tickets, leave a generous buffer for the connection and for collecting your bags.
• Confirm that your passport or ID card is valid for travel to Italy and meets the entry rules for your nationality.
• Book early for June through August and around Italian public holidays, when seats on this route fill up.
• Plan your transfer from Fertilia ahead of time if you land late, as evening services into Alghero thin out.
