Cheap flights from Warsaw to Dalaman

Dalaman is at its busiest in high summer, and September is the cheapest month on this route, when the sea is still warm and the crowds thin out. Late spring and early autumn are comfortable for sightseeing, while the winter months are quiet, with some resorts and boat trips winding down. Midweek departures tend to cost less than weekend ones, and Polish school holidays push fares up, so book well ahead for those dates. If your plans are flexible, compare a few weeks either side of your target date before you commit.

Nonstop flights link Warsaw with Dalaman, and several carriers sell seats on the route. Wizz Air and Buzz are the low-cost names, and Smartwings Poland and Pegasus sit in the same holiday bracket, so expect the fare to cover the seat and little else unless you add extras. LOT Polish Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa Cityline, Austrian and Swiss are full-service carriers that usually route passengers through their own hubs, which can mean a connection instead of a nonstop. Air Baltic works somewhere between the two models. Baggage, seat selection and change rules differ from ticket to ticket, so read the fare conditions before paying, especially with hold luggage or sports gear.

Dalaman Airport is the only airport serving the area, and it sits outside the town itself, surrounded by pine forest. The run into Dalaman centre is short, but many travellers are heading further along the coast, where the road transfer takes considerably longer. Shared shuttles, private transfers, taxis and car hire are all available at the terminal, and pre-booked transfers are the usual choice for resort hotels. Allow extra time on arrival days in high season, when passport control and baggage reclaim get busy, and remember the drive to your resort can be long after a late landing.

• Check whether your flight leaves from Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw's two airports are far apart and the wrong one costs you the trip.
• On low-cost tickets, add up the cabin and hold baggage you actually need before comparing fares.
• If your itinerary is split across two tickets, leave a generous buffer in case the first flight runs late.
• Confirm that your passport and any entry rules for Turkey are valid for your travel dates.
• Book early for Polish school holidays and the summer peak, when seats on this route go first.
• Decide whether you want a nonstop or a cheaper connecting flight through a hub before you fix your dates.
