Cheap flights from Warsaw to Brussels

October is usually the cheapest month to fly this route, with prices easing after the summer rush and before the Christmas market season fills Brussels hotels. Spring and early summer are pleasant in both cities, while late autumn and winter are darker but quieter, apart from the run-up to Christmas, when Brussels gets busy and fares climb. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to cost less than Friday evenings or Sunday returns. Book a few weeks ahead for the cheaper months, and watch Polish and Belgian public holidays, which can push demand up on either end.

Several carriers fly this route. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost options, and Norwegian and Norwegian International also keep fares lean; on those, the ticket usually covers a small cabin bag and everything else is added at booking. Full-service names such as LOT Polish Airlines, Brussels Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa and Scandinavian Airlines tend to include more in the fare and give you easier rebooking. Some of these operate direct, others connect through a hub, so check the routing before you compare what is included.

Brussels Airport is the only airport serving the Belgian capital, and it sits outside the city, a short train ride from the centre — the station is right under the terminal, so you can be in town quickly after landing. Trains, buses and taxis all run into the city; the train is the simplest if you are heading for the centre or the EU quarter. Allow extra time on the way back, since check-in and security queues build up in the morning peak. If you land late, check the last train times before you rely on them, and buy your ticket from the machine or counter rather than from anyone offering a ride inside the terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Warsaw has two airports, so confirm whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin before you book your transfer.
• On low-cost tickets, check what the fare includes and add checked baggage at booking rather than at the airport.
• If your itinerary connects, make sure the legs are on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Check that your passport or ID is valid for entry to Belgium and carries the right stamps.
• Look at the price calendar for your month, since October is usually the cheapest and Christmas dates cost more.
• Compare the total for a carry-on only against a fare that includes a checked bag.
