Cheap flights from Warsaw to Bari

September is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it also puts you in Puglia while the sea is still warm and the summer crowds have thinned. Fares climb through the summer peak and again around Christmas and New Year, so if your dates are open, look at late spring and early autumn instead. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, which are the ones weekenders fight over. Book a few months ahead for summer travel; in the quieter months you can often leave it later. Italian public holidays in spring and the August holiday period push prices up at both ends of the route.

Ryanair and Wizz Air, including Wizz Air Malta, are the low-cost operators here, and they are the ones to look at if you travel with hand luggage only: a small cabin bag is included, while a checked bag, a seat choice and priority boarding are paid extras. The full-service carriers, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with KLM Cityhopper, Air France and Austrian, normally fly you through their home hubs, so the trip takes longer but the fare tends to include a checked bag and refreshments. Norwegian and Norwegian International also serve the route. On a low-cost ticket, add whatever you need when you book rather than at the airport.

Bari has one airport, Palese, and it sits close to the city, so the transfer is a short one rather than a long haul from the terminal. The usual ways into town are the shuttle bus and the local rail link to the centre and the main station, plus taxis and rental cars if you would rather drive. Allow extra time in summer, when several arrivals land together and the queues at the carousel and the taxi rank grow. If you are continuing along the coast or into the countryside, arrange a car at the airport or check onward train times before you land, since evening services thin out.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin, since Warsaw's two airports are far apart.
• On low-cost fares, decide about checked baggage and seat selection before you pay.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, leave a generous gap and expect to cover a missed onward flight yourself.
• Carry a valid passport or ID card and check the entry rules for Italy that apply to you.
• Compare September with the summer months if your dates are open, as that is where the saving usually sits.
• Book early for summer and the Christmas period, when seats fill up.
