Cheap flights from Warsaw to Hong Kong

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the weeks around it often stay reasonable if you dodge the holiday peaks. Spring and autumn are the busiest stretches for business travel out of Warsaw, while the Lunar New Year period fills planes in the other direction. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday ones. Book well ahead for summer and for the Christmas run, and lean on the price calendar whenever your dates can move.

Every carrier listed on this route is a full-service airline rather than a low-cost one, so a checked bag and meals are usually part of the fare on the long-haul legs. LOT Polish Airlines is the home carrier and feeds you through its Warsaw base, while Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Turkish Airlines route you via Gulf or Turkish hubs. Lufthansa, Swiss, Lufthansa Cityline and Helvetic Airways connect through German and Swiss airports, and Air India and Air China through their own networks. Regional partners operate some of the shorter legs, so check who actually flies each segment and what the baggage rules are for the whole ticket.

Hong Kong International sits on reclaimed land well away from the urban core, so treat the transfer as part of the journey rather than assuming you land downtown. The Airport Express train is the quickest and most predictable way in, running to Kowloon and Central, with buses and taxis covering the rest of the territory. Taxis are colour-coded by destination, so join the right rank for your hotel. On the way out, leave extra time if you are heading on into mainland China afterwards.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide whether you are leaving from F. Chopin or Modlin, since they are separate airports with different transfer options.
• Check the baggage allowance on every segment, including any short leg flown by a regional partner.
• Confirm whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate tickets mean you collect your bags and check them again.
• Make sure your passport and any entry documents for Hong Kong are valid well beyond your travel dates.
• Book early for the Lunar New Year and Christmas periods, when seats on this route fill quickly.
• Compare total journey time, not just the fare, since layovers vary a lot between carriers.
