Cheap flights from Warsaw to Brasov

September is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is also a comfortable time to be in both cities — mild days, cooler evenings, no need to pack for extremes. Prices drift upward through the summer months and again around the winter holidays, when people travel to see family and demand rises at both ends of the route. If your plans are flexible, midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and booking several weeks ahead beats leaving it to the last minute. Keep an eye on Polish and Romanian public holidays too, since they can fill seats quickly.

Both carriers on this route, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, are low-cost airlines, and both fly it directly, so you are not looking at a connection through a hub. That keeps the journey short, but it also means the fare covers the seat and little else: checked baggage, seat selection and similar extras are priced separately, so add what you actually need while booking rather than at the airport. There is no full-service airline here, so if you want a meal or a flexible ticket included in the price, this is not the route for that. Compare the two operators on the same dates, since their schedules and add-on charges can differ.

Flights land at Brasov-Ghimbav, the airport that serves the city, and it sits outside the built-up centre, so plan a transfer rather than expecting to walk straight into town. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual way in, and there are bus connections as well; a rental car makes sense if you want to explore the area around Brasov on your own schedule. Agree the fare before you get into a taxi, and if you land late in the evening, check that public transport is still running before you rely on it. If you are heading further into Transylvania, sort out your onward transport before you land rather than after.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your ticket leaves from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw has two airports and they are not interchangeable.
• Add any checked baggage you need while booking, since low-cost fares on this route do not include it.
• Confirm your travel document is valid for Romania and covers your whole stay, including the return date.
• Decide your dates early if you want the lower fares, because prices climb as departure gets closer.
• If you are pairing this route with another flight, leave a generous gap between the two tickets, since they are not protected as one booking.
