Cheap flights from Warsaw to Asmara

February is the month when fares tend to be lower on this route. The price calendar shows fares for September, October, November, December, February and May, so you can compare those months. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and booking early gives you more choice. Watch out for school holidays and public holidays in Poland and Eritrea, as fares rise and seats fill up. If your dates are flexible, aim for the shoulder seasons when demand is lower.

The airlines that serve this route are Etihad Airways, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Fly Dubai, Emirates, Swiss, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines. They are a mix of carriers, and the fare inclusions differ from one to another. No airline flies direct, so all options are connecting flights. Check baggage allowance and whether meals are included, as these vary by airline and ticket.

Asmara International is the only airport serving Asmara. It is a short drive from the city centre. Taxis are the usual way into town, and it helps to agree on the fare before you get in. The airport is small, so allow time for immigration and baggage. Make sure you have the right visa or entry permit for Eritrea before you travel.
