Cheap flights from Warsaw to Ljubljana

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar reflects that, with the deepest winter weeks quiet on both ends. Fares climb through spring and stay high across the summer school holidays, when both Warsaw and Ljubljana fill with visitors; September and October bring them down again before the Christmas and New Year rush. Midweek departures are usually calmer and cheaper than Friday and Sunday. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel and earlier for summer, and watch Polish and Slovenian public holidays, which lift demand on the days around them.

Wizz Air and Norwegian are the low-cost names here, selling seat-only fares where a cabin bag is included but checked luggage and seat selection cost extra. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM and its Cityhopper arm, Lufthansa, Swiss, Helvetic Airways, Air Baltic and Nordic Regional Airlines are full-service carriers, whose fares normally include a cabin bag, a checked allowance and a drink on board. Some fly the route directly, while others sell connections through their home hubs, a stop that often widens your choice of departure times. On a connection, check whether it is one ticket or two, since separate tickets leave you carrying the risk of a missed onward flight.

Ljubljana's airport, Brnik, lies outside the city in open countryside, so plan on a transfer rather than a short ride on a city line. The usual ways in are the airport bus that meets arrivals, a taxi or pre-booked transfer, and a rental car if you are heading on towards the coast or the mountains. Give yourself more time than you expect on the way back, since the road to the airport can be slow in the morning peak and through the summer. If you land late, check the last bus before you commit to a flight that arrives after it.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport you fly from, because Chopin and Modlin sit on opposite sides of the city.
• Confirm what your low-cost fare includes, since hand luggage rules and checked bag fees differ from the full-service carriers.
• If your trip is booked as two separate tickets, leave a generous buffer for the connection and ask whether you must collect and re-check your bags.
• Make sure your passport or identity card is valid for the whole stay in Slovenia.
• Look at the price calendar before fixing dates, as February is the cheapest month and the summer weeks cost more.
