Cheap flights from Warsaw to Fuzhou

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar usually shows the same pattern around it: late autumn and the stretch after the Chinese New Year holiday tend to be gentler than summer. September and October are busy with students and business travel, December fills up before Christmas and around New Year, and April and May bring the spring rush plus the May holidays in China. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday especially, are usually calmer and cheaper than Friday and Sunday. Book a few months ahead for summer and for the weeks around Chinese New Year, when seats out of Europe sell out early.

The airlines on this route are all full-service carriers, so you are not weighing a budget option against a legacy one: Qatar Airways, KLM, LOT, Lufthansa, Finnair, Air China, Scandinavian Airlines, Austrian, Etihad and Turkish Airlines all show up in the results. None of them flies it non-stop, so each sells you a connection through its own hub, and that changes the total journey time and the number of stops. What is included depends on the fare you choose rather than the airline name, and the rules can differ between the European leg and the long-haul leg, so read the baggage and change conditions per leg.

Fuzhou has one airport for the city, and it sits a fair way outside the centre, so the last stretch is a road transfer rather than a metro ride. The usual ways in are the airport shuttle buses and a taxi or ride-hailing car, and the drive can slow down badly in the evening rush. Because nothing flies non-stop from Warsaw, you clear immigration at your first point of entry into China rather than in Fuzhou, and your bags may need to be collected and re-checked there depending on how the ticket is issued. Check your entry documents before you fly, and confirm whether you land at a domestic or an international terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Warsaw has two airports, Chopin and Modlin, so confirm which one your ticket leaves from before you plan the trip to the terminal.
• Check the baggage allowance on each leg, particularly on a light fare with no checked bag included.
• If the legs are separate bookings, leave a generous buffer at the connecting airport in case the first flight runs late.
• Confirm your entry documents for China and any transit rules at the hub where you change planes.
• Book early for summer and the weeks around Chinese New Year, and use the price calendar to aim at the cheaper months.
