Cheap flights from Warsaw to Malta

The cheapest month on this route is October, when the summer crowds have gone and the sea is still mild. Fares climb through July and August, the busiest stretch on the island, and again around Christmas, New Year and Easter, when Polish school holidays and long weekends push demand up. Late spring and early autumn give you good weather without the peak-season pricing. Midweek departures, Tuesday to Thursday, are usually kinder to your budget than Friday or Sunday flights. Book a month or two ahead for summer travel, and keep an eye on prices in the weeks before a winter trip, when seats often go for less.

Low-cost carriers do most of the heavy lifting here: Wizz Air, Ryanair, Norwegian and Norwegian International all show up on this route, and their fares usually cover a small cabin bag only, with checked luggage and seat choice added at a cost. Full-service options include LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss, Scandinavian Airlines and Aegean Airlines, where a cabin bag is normally part of the fare and connections are booked under one ticket. Mokulele Flight Service also appears in results. Direct flights exist on the route; if you book a connecting itinerary, check whether it is one ticket or two, because separate tickets mean you carry the risk of a missed connection.

Malta's airport at Luqa is the only one on the island, and it sits a short drive from Valletta and the harbour area, with the main resort towns within easy reach by road. Buses run from the airport into Valletta and along the coast, and the trip is simple if you are not in a hurry; taxis and pre-booked transfers are quicker and drop you at your door. The island is small, so even a transfer to the far side does not take long. Check the last bus departure if your flight lands late in the evening, and confirm where your accommodation actually is before you pick a transfer.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you are flying from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw's two airports sit far apart and the wrong one costs you the trip.
• On a low-cost ticket, add a checked bag and seat selection before you compare the total with a full-service fare.
• If your itinerary connects, make sure it is one ticket rather than two, so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Malta and check the entry rules that apply to your nationality.
• Book early for July and August, and look at October if you want the lowest fares of the year.
• Match your dates to the price calendar, since fares on this route move a lot from one month to the next.
