Cheap flights from Warsaw to Giza

December comes out cheapest on this route, and the months around it — late autumn and the first part of the year — are priced too. Winter is the season Poles fly south for sun, so fares climb over Christmas and New Year; the weeks just before and after the holidays are calmer. Spring and autumn bring milder temperatures in Giza, while midsummer heat keeps some travellers away and can push fares down outside the school break. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights. If you want the lowest fare, book well ahead for the winter window and watch the price calendar as your dates get closer.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Pegasus, Air Arabia and Fly Dubai sell seats on the cheap and charge extra for a checked bag, a seat choice and often a cabin bag beyond the small one. Air France, Swiss, Emirates, American Airlines and Helvetic Airways are the full-service names, where a checked bag and meals usually come with the ticket and the price reflects it. Direct service exists on this route; the rest of the list gets you there with a connection, so a cheap headline fare may mean a longer day of travel. Check what is included before you compare the totals.

Your flight lands at Sphinx International Airport, the airport that serves Giza and the western edge of the Cairo area. It is the gateway to the pyramids district, so most travellers clear the airport and head straight there. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual ways into town; many hotels and tour operators will send a driver if you arrange it ahead. Agree the fare before you get into a street taxi, or book through an app so the price is set in advance. Carry some Egyptian pounds for the first hours and keep small notes handy. On the way back, leave a generous margin — traffic around Giza can stretch any journey.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your flight leaves from F. Chopin or Modlin, since Warsaw's two airports are far apart.
• On Wizz Air, Pegasus, Air Arabia and Fly Dubai, add the cost of a checked bag and a seat before you compare.
• If a cheap fare routes you through a hub, make sure both legs sit on one ticket so a delay is covered.
• Confirm your passport is valid well beyond your travel dates and check the current entry rules for Egypt.
• Look at the price calendar before you lock dates — December is the cheapest month and the winter holidays push fares up.
