Cheap flights from Warsaw to Ancona

The cheapest fares on this route tend to fall in January, once the Christmas and New Year rush is over and well before spring. September and October are the pleasant middle ground: the summer crowds have thinned along the Adriatic but the sea is still warm enough for a swim, and prices sit below the August peak. March is quiet and often windy on the coast, while August is the busiest and priciest month, when Italians take their holidays and Ancona fills up. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and booking a few months ahead helps on peak dates.

Nobody flies this route non-stop, so every option here means at least one connection rather than a single hop. Wizz Air is the low-cost name on the list, and its fare normally covers a small cabin bag only, with anything checked, a chosen seat or extra legroom added on top. Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, Air Baltic and Scandinavian Airlines are full-service carriers, where a checked bag and refreshments are usually part of the ticket and a missed connection is rebooked for you. A low-cost fare can look smaller until you add a bag and a seat.

Ancona has one airport, Falconara, set a short drive outside the city and close to the coast. The usual ways into town are the shuttle bus that meets arrivals, the train from Falconara station, a taxi, or a hire car if you are heading further along the Marche coast. Allow extra time on summer weekends, when the port and the coast road get busy with holiday traffic. If you land late, check the last bus or train before you book, since services thin out in the evening.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide whether you are leaving from Chopin or Modlin, since Warsaw's two airports are far apart and the wrong one costs you the flight.
• Check what the low-cost fare includes, because a cabin bag only goes so far on a longer trip.
• If you book the legs separately, leave a generous gap between flights so a delay does not strand you.
• Make sure your passport or ID card is valid for travel to Italy and meets the entry rules.
• Look at the price calendar before you fix dates, as January and the shoulder months usually undercut August.
• Think about whether you want to land in the morning or the evening, since connections into Falconara are limited.
