Cheap flights from Warsaw to Dusseldorf

November usually comes out cheapest on this route, and the weeks on either side of it stay gentle on the wallet too. Spring and early summer are busy with city breaks, while the run-up to Christmas fills planes with shoppers heading for the German markets and Poles flying home. Midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday tend to be quieter than Friday evenings and Sunday nights. Watch Polish and German public holidays, which cluster around Easter, the first days of May, Corpus Christi and All Saints, and book a few weeks ahead when school breaks overlap.

Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta and Norwegian and its international arm fly this route as low-cost carriers, with hand luggage only in the base fare and everything else added on. Eurowings and Eurowings Europe Malta sit between the two camps, while LOT Polish Airlines, KLM, KLM Cityhopper and Scandinavian Airlines are the full-service names, with a cabin bag and often a checked allowance included. Direct flights exist on the route, but not every fare you see is nonstop, so check the routing before you pick. On low-cost tickets, add a bag and a seat early rather than at the airport, and remember that a connection built from separate tickets is your own risk if a flight slips.

Dusseldorf International sits close to the city, a short train or taxi ride from the centre, with the S-Bahn running into the main station and on towards the trade fair grounds. Weeze Airport is a different story: it lies well outside the city, nearer the Dutch border, and the journey in takes much longer, usually by coach or car, so a cheap fare there can cost you time. Check which airport your ticket actually names before you plan the rest of the day, and if you land late, confirm that trains or coaches are still running. The airport station is the simplest way into town, with a taxi as the fallback when you arrive after the last connection.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin, because the two Warsaw airports are far apart and the wrong one is a costly mistake.
• Read the baggage rules on low-cost fares, where the base ticket usually covers hand luggage only.
• If your trip is built from separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights since a missed connection is not protected.
• Carry valid ID or a passport and check the entry rules for Germany before you travel.
• Book early for the busy Christmas market weeks and around Polish and German public holidays.
• Compare the airport pair as well as the fare, since Weeze is much further from Dusseldorf than the international airport.
