Cheap flights from Warsaw to Ercan

September is the cheapest month to fly this route, and fares stay reasonable through autumn and into winter, with another dip in March. Summer is the busiest and priciest stretch, when families travel and resorts on the island fill up. Midweek departures, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays, tend to cost less than weekend ones. Book a few weeks ahead for summer, and watch Polish school holidays and the Christmas and New Year period, when connecting seats sell out early. Northern Cyprus is warm enough for swimming from late spring to October, while winter is mild and quiet.

Airlines flying this route include Pegasus, Sun Express, Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Austrian and Scandinavian Airlines. Pegasus and Sun Express are the low-cost options, while the rest are full-service carriers. None of them fly Warsaw to Ercan nonstop, so every itinerary includes at least one connection, and the airline you pick often decides where you change planes. What a ticket includes varies a lot between fare types: low-cost fares usually come without a checked bag, while full-service ones tend to bundle one in. Read the baggage and change rules for your exact fare before you pay.

Ercan is the only airport on this side of the island, so every itinerary ends there. It sits outside the main towns rather than in the centre, and the usual ways into town are a pre-booked shuttle, a shared transfer, a taxi or a hire car. Allow time for the drive, especially if you land late in the evening or are heading to a resort on the coast. Because the airport serves northern Cyprus, entry formalities and onward travel can differ from what you would expect on the southern side of the island, so have your documents ready and confirm your transfer before you fly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which Warsaw airport you are leaving from, since F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Check what your low-cost fare includes, because a checked bag or a seat choice can change the total.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, leave a long buffer and be ready to rebook if the first leg is delayed.
• Confirm your passport or ID is valid for entry to northern Cyprus and check the current rules before you travel.
• Fly in September for the lowest fares, and book early if you are travelling in summer or over the holidays.
• Ask your transfer company exactly where the driver will meet you at Ercan.
