Cheap flights from Warsaw to Gothenburg

March comes out as the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are flexible, aim for late winter. Prices are listed from September through July, covering the school year and the summer stretch; the deep winter weeks and the height of summer are when fares climb. Midweek departures usually give you more choice than weekend ones, and booking early beats booking in the final days before a holiday. Polish and Swedish school breaks fill the direct flights first, so plan around them if you can.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name on this route, so expect a bare fare with extras like checked baggage and seat selection added on. LOT Polish Airlines flies from its Warsaw base, and the rest of the list, Finnair, Nordic Regional Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Helvetic Airways and Air Baltic, are full-service and regional carriers. On those, a cabin bag is normally part of the ticket and connections are usually held on one ticket, which matters if a delay turns into a missed onward flight.

Every flight on this route lands at Gothenburg Landvetter, the city's main airport, which sits outside town rather than on the edge of the centre. The airport coach is the usual way in if you are travelling light, and taxis wait right outside arrivals for a faster but pricier ride. Allow time for the transfer if you have a meeting or a train to catch, and check the last coach of the evening before you book a late arrival. Renting a car at the airport makes sense if you plan to travel beyond the city.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your Warsaw departure leaves from F. Chopin or Modlin, because the two airports sit on opposite sides of the city.
• On Wizz Air, add checked baggage and seat selection to the fare before comparing it with a full-service ticket.
• If you build the trip from separate tickets, leave a generous gap, since a missed connection is yours to fix.
• Carry a valid passport or national ID for Sweden and check the current entry rules before you fly.
• Book early for March and steer clear of the weeks around Polish and Swedish school breaks.
• Decide on a checked bag before you pay, since the lowest fares rarely include one.
