Cheap flights from Warsaw to Brindisi

September is usually the cheapest month on this route, and it is also one of the nicer ones to travel: the Puglia coast is still warm but the peak crowds have gone. Fares tend to climb through the summer school holidays and around Christmas and Easter, when Poles travel home and Italians head north. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, are generally calmer and cheaper than Friday or Sunday. Book a few months ahead for summer and the run-up to Christmas; for spring and autumn, waiting a few weeks can pay off. If you are flexible, compare the price calendar before you commit.

Which airline you pick changes the trip more than the price tag suggests. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost options here: fares are one-way and unbundled, so a cabin bag, a checked bag and a seat choice all cost extra, and the fare rules are strict about changes. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM, Air France, ITA Airways, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines and Helvetic Airways are full-service, which usually means a checked bag in the fare and a protected connection if you change planes, though the routing often goes through the carrier's home hub. Direct flights exist on this route, so check whether the fare you like is nonstop or a one-stop itinerary before you pay.

Brindisi's Casale airport is a small, easy one, sitting just outside the city rather than far out in the countryside. A local bus runs between the terminal and the centre, and taxis wait outside arrivals; the ride into town is short enough that a taxi is a realistic option if you land late. If you are heading further down the Salento coast, this is where you pick up a hire car, and the desks are in the arrivals hall. Watch the time you land: this is a compact airport with a limited evening schedule, so late arrivals leave you with fewer buses and fewer staffed desks. Check where your onward transport leaves from before you book a tight connection.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide between F. Chopin and Modlin before you search — a cheaper fare from the wrong airport is not a cheaper trip.
• On Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, add a cabin bag and any checked bag before comparing the fare with a full-service ticket.
• If your itinerary connects, check whether it is one ticket or two — separate tickets mean no protection if the first flight is late.
• Check that your passport or ID is valid for Italy and that the name matches the booking.
• Match your arrival at Casale against the last bus into Brindisi if you are not hiring a car.
• Compare September with the peak summer months before booking, since fares are usually lowest then.
