Cheap flights from Warsaw to Kefallinia

The cheapest fares on this route usually land in November, when the island has gone quiet and the season's flights are winding down. Prices climb through July and August, when Polish school holidays and Greek island holidays overlap, and stay high into September before easing in October. May and June are the sweet spot for warm weather without peak demand. If your dates are flexible, fly midweek rather than at the weekend, and book well ahead for July and August; for May, June and October you can often leave it later.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name here, with fares that usually cover a cabin bag and little else unless you add luggage and seat selection. Enter Air flies seasonal holiday programmes, where a checked bag is often part of the package. Aegean Airlines and Sky Express are the full-service and regional options, while Swiss, Lufthansa Cityline, Helvetic Airways and Air Baltic turn up on connecting itineraries through their hubs, where a checked bag is normally included. A few names in search results, such as Hahn Air Systems and CitizenPlane, are ticketing partners rather than carriers you will see at the gate.

Kefallinia has a single airport, so there is no second gateway to compare, and the transfer into town is short by Greek island standards. The terminal is small and gets crowded when several seasonal flights land close together, which slows the baggage belts and the rental desks. Taxis wait outside arrivals, and pre-booked transfers and rental cars are the usual ways to reach the island's main town and the resort villages; buses run in season but are tied to flight times rather than to a frequent timetable. Arrange your transfer before you fly if you land late in the evening, and keep your accommodation's contact details to hand in case your flight slips.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin, since the two Warsaw airports are not interchangeable.
• On a low-cost fare, confirm what cabin and checked baggage is included before you pay for extras.
• If your trip uses separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights, as a missed connection is not protected.
• Check the entry rules for your nationality; Greece is in the Schengen area and requirements depend on your passport.
• Decide early between a direct seasonal flight and a connecting itinerary, as they go on sale at different times.
• For July and August book as soon as your dates are fixed; for May, June and October you can usually wait.
