Cheap flights from Warsaw to Bangalore

November is when fares on this route tend to bottom out, and the months either side of it usually stay close. The price calendar runs from early autumn through midsummer, so you can compare month by month before you commit. Weekday departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, often undercut weekend ones, though the difference depends on how the connections line up. In Poland, school holidays and the Christmas and New Year stretch push fares up; in India, the autumn festival season and the wedding months do the same for inbound travel. Book a few months ahead for the cheapest window, and keep an eye on the monsoon months if you would rather trade rain for lower demand.

Ten carriers serve this route, none of them non-stop. Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa, Austrian, LOT Polish Airlines and KLM Cityhopper are full-service names, where long-haul fares normally include a checked bag and meals, with the connection on one ticket. Lufthansa Cityline and KLM Cityhopper mostly handle the European legs that feed those hubs. Air Arabia is the low-cost option, where the fare usually covers a cabin bag only and checked luggage costs extra. Helvetic Airways and HI Fly Transportes Aereo fly on a charter or wet-lease basis, so you may meet them through a tour operator rather than a booking screen. Check that the whole journey sits on one ticket before you pay.

Bangalore's Kempegowda International sits well outside the city to the north, far enough that the drive in is a real part of the trip. Most travellers take an app-based cab, a pre-paid taxi from the counter in arrivals, or one of the airport shuttle buses that run to points across the city. Traffic is heavy through the morning and evening peaks, so leave generous room before a domestic connection or a meeting. The airport handles a lot of international arrivals at once in the small hours, and immigration queues can be long then. Keep your bag tags and the arrival card handy, and confirm which terminal your onward transport picks up from.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide between Warsaw Chopin and Modlin before you search, since low-cost departures often leave from the second one.
• Check the baggage allowance on a low-cost fare, where a cabin bag only is common and a checked bag costs extra.
• If your trip is split across two tickets, leave a long buffer at the connection, because a missed leg on a separate booking is yours to fix.
• Confirm your entry documents for India in good time and check your passport validity.
• Book earlier for November and the festive weeks, when demand on this route tightens.
