Cheap flights from Warsaw to Guayaquil

Prices on this route are listed for September through March, and July also shows fares, with March coming out cheapest of the months shown. That covers autumn, winter and early spring departures from Poland, so the northern winter is the stretch with the most choice — and the busiest, around Christmas and New Year, when seats go early. If your dates are flexible, look at midweek departures and at flying out and back on different days, since connections through European hubs often price differently depending on the day. Book well ahead for the winter window and keep watching the calendar as your dates get closer.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name in this mix, which usually means a bare fare with everything from checked bags to seat choice added on. The rest — Nordic Regional Airlines, Finnair, Swiss, British Airways, LOT Polish Airlines, EuroAtlantic Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Turkish Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines — are full-service carriers, where a checked bag and meals are normally part of the ticket on the long leg. No airline flies the route non-stop, so every option pairs two or more legs. Watch how those legs are ticketed: a single through ticket means the airline looks after you if a connection is missed, while two separate bookings leave that risk with you.

Guayaquil has one airport, Jose Joaquin De Olmedo, so there is no choice to make once you land. It sits within the city rather than far outside it, which keeps the ride into the centre short — taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual way in, and it is worth agreeing the fare or checking the app before you get in. If you are travelling straight on to the coast or the Andes, leave a comfortable gap between landing and your onward bus or flight. Have your first night's address to hand for the driver, and sort your transfer before you fly rather than at the kerb.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide whether you are leaving from F. Chopin or Modlin, because they are separate airports and moving between them takes time.
• Check what your fare includes if you fly low-cost, since a checked bag on a long trip is usually an extra.
• Make sure a connecting itinerary is one ticket, or leave a generous gap if you booked the legs separately.
• Confirm your passport and the entry rules for Ecuador well before departure, including passport validity.
• Book early for the winter months around Christmas and New Year, when seats go first.
• Look at March if your dates are open, since that is the cheapest month shown.
