Cheap flights from Warsaw to Dubrovnik

October is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is easy to see why: the Adriatic is still mild, the summer crowds have thinned, and seats are easier to find. July and August are the busiest and priciest, when the Croatian coast fills up and school holidays overlap with the peak. June and September sit in between, with decent weather and softer demand. For lower fares, look at midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, and book a few months ahead for summer travel. Spring and late autumn are quiet at both ends, while the run-up to Christmas and the New Year brings a short spike in demand.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta fly this route with low-cost fares, and Norwegian works the same way. That means a basic ticket with a small cabin bag, while checked luggage, seat selection and food are priced as extras. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Aegean Airlines and Air Baltic are full-service carriers, where a checked bag and a snack usually come with the fare. Some of these sell direct flights, while others route you through a hub, which adds time but can open up more departure times and better connections.

Flights land at Dubrovnik Airport, the only airport serving the city. It sits outside the centre, so the last part of the journey is a transfer rather than a walk. The usual ways in are the airport shuttle bus, a local bus, a taxi or a pre-booked private transfer; the shuttle is the simplest choice if you are travelling light and staying near the old town. In summer several flights can land close together, so allow extra time for bags and for the queue at the taxi rank. If your accommodation is further along the coast or on an island, check that your transfer covers the whole distance before you book it.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you are flying from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw has two airports and they are not interchangeable.
• Check what the low-cost fare includes, since Wizz Air and Norwegian tickets often cover only a small cabin bag.
• If your itinerary changes planes, keep both legs on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport or ID card for Croatia and confirm the entry rules for your nationality before you fly.
• Book early for July and August, and look at October if you want the lowest fares of the year.
• Compare the total cost once bags and the transfer into town are added, not just the fare.
