Cheap flights from Warsaw to Alicante

October is when fares on this route tend to be at their lowest, in the calm stretch after the summer rush and before the Christmas travel window. Summer is peak season at both ends, so seats sell early and prices climb through the warm months. Spring and early autumn are the sweet spot for weather and value, while winter is mild on the Costa Blanca and mostly about escaping the Polish cold. Midweek departures are usually cheaper and quieter than Friday and Sunday flights, and school breaks and public holidays push fares up on both sides of the route, so book those well ahead.

Ryanair and Wizz Air, including Wizz Air Malta, are the low-cost names on this route, with Norwegian and Norwegian International also flying it. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa and Helvetic Airways are the full-service carriers. On a low-cost ticket you pay for what you use: a small cabin bag is usually included, but a checked bag, a seat choice and food cost extra, and changes are rarely free. Full-service fares normally bundle a checked bag and a seat assignment, which can make them competitive once you add the extras to a low-cost ticket.

Alicante is served by a single airport, a short drive south of the city centre along the coast. Buses run between the terminal and town through the day, taxis wait outside arrivals, and car hire desks sit in the terminal if you plan to explore the Costa Blanca. The run into the centre is quick outside rush hour, but summer traffic can slow it down, so leave a margin if you are heading straight to a hotel or catching a train onward. If you are picking up a rental car, read the return instructions and fuel policy before you drive off.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight leaves from, since the city has two and they sit on opposite sides of town.
• Check whether your fare includes a cabin bag or a checked bag, because low-cost tickets often sell them separately.
• Check whether a connecting itinerary is on one ticket or two, since separate tickets mean you carry your own bags and cover a missed connection yourself.
• Check that your passport or ID is valid and meets the entry rules for Spain.
• Check how far ahead you are booking, as summer seats on this route go early and October is when fares tend to dip.
