Cheap flights from Warsaw to Chisinau

October is the cheapest month on this route, and fares are listed right through the year, so you can compare any season. Summer is the busiest stretch in both Warsaw and Chisinau, and the winter holidays push fares up again; late spring and early autumn are the calm middle. Flying midweek, and staying flexible about the time of day, usually costs less than a Friday or Sunday departure. Book a few weeks ahead for summer and holiday travel, and watch the price calendar instead of trusting a single quote.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names here, so expect to pay extra for anything beyond a small cabin bag. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Austrian are the full-service choices, with KLM Cityhopper and Air Dolomiti flying the smaller regional legs of a connecting trip. Aegean Airlines, Air Baltic and Sun Express round out the list, mostly on one-stop itineraries through their own hubs. Whichever you pick, read what the fare includes before you compare the totals.

Chisinau has one airport, so there is no wrong-airport risk when you land, and the terminal is compact enough to get through quickly. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual way into the centre, and buses from the terminal cover the same trip. On the Warsaw side the city has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and they are not interchangeable, so check which one your ticket names before you plan your journey there. If you land late in Chisinau, arrange your transfer in advance.
