Cheap flights from Warsaw to Leeds

May is usually the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar on this page shows how the rest of the year compares. Spring and early autumn tend to be quieter and cheaper than the summer school holidays, when seats fill up and fares climb. Christmas and the New Year are busy in both directions, with people travelling to see family. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, are generally lighter than Friday evenings and Sunday returns. Book a few weeks ahead for summer and the holidays; in the quieter months you can often leave it later.

Wizz Air, Ryanair and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names here, and Sun Express flies leisure schedules. LOT Polish Airlines, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its regional partner KLM Cityhopper, Air France and Aer Lingus cover the full-service and connecting options. Low-cost fares usually include a seat and a small cabin bag only, with checked luggage, seat selection and food as paid extras, while full-service tickets normally bundle a checked bag and a snack. Direct flights are the quick choice; connections through the carriers' home hubs are usually sold on one ticket, so a missed connection is the airline's problem rather than yours.

Flights land at Leeds/Bradford, the airport that serves the city and the wider Yorkshire region. It sits outside Leeds rather than on the edge of the centre, so build in time for the transfer: buses run into town, and taxis or pre-booked transfers are the other common options. If you are heading on to Bradford, York or the Dales, check whether a direct bus or a hire car beats going into Leeds first. Coming back, allow extra slack, since the approach roads can be slow at peak times, and check which entrance your airline uses. Warsaw is the simpler end, with both of its airports linked to the centre by public transport and taxi.

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight leaves from, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and the wrong one means a missed flight.
• Confirm what your low-cost fare includes, since a cabin bag and a checked bag are usually paid extras.
• If your trip is split across two tickets, leave a generous gap in case the first leg is delayed.
• Make sure your passport or ID meets the entry rules for the United Kingdom and stays valid for the whole trip.
• Look at the price calendar before you fix your dates, since May is usually the cheapest month on this route.
• Decide whether a direct flight or a cheaper connecting one suits you, and compare the total journey time.
