Cheap flights from Warsaw to Baghdad

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar runs from September through April, so that whole stretch is worth comparing before you settle. Midweek departures tend to cost less than weekend ones, and flying out on a Tuesday or Wednesday can make a difference when the fare is close. Holidays in Poland around Christmas and the New Year, and Iraqi public holidays, can tighten availability, so book early if your dates fall near them. If you are travelling in the months outside the calendar window, check back for fresh fares.

There are no direct flights between Warsaw and Baghdad, so every option here is a connecting itinerary. The full-service carriers here are Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Austrian, Aegean Airlines, Egyptair and LOT Polish Airlines, along with the regional arms Lufthansa Cityline and Air Dolomiti. They usually bundle more into the fare, while Air Arabia and Fly Dubai sell a lighter base ticket with extras on top. Baggage rules can differ between the carriers on a single booking, so read the allowance for each leg before you pay.

Baghdad International is the airport serving the Iraqi capital, and it handles the arrivals for this route. The airport sits outside the city proper, and the drive in is usually by taxi or a pre-arranged transfer; allow extra time because traffic in Baghdad can be heavy. Check whether your hotel offers an airport pickup, and keep your onward plans flexible for late-night landings.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you fly from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw's two airports are not interchangeable.
• Check what the fare includes on a low-cost carrier such as Air Arabia or Fly Dubai, since hand luggage only is common.
• Make sure a self-transfer between separate tickets leaves enough buffer, as a missed connection is your own risk.
• Look into Iraq's entry rules well ahead, as visa requirements depend on your nationality and purpose of travel.
• Compare fares across the months with published prices, from September through April, and note December is the cheapest.
• Decide if you want a longer layover in a hub city, since every option on this route connects.
