Cheap flights from Warsaw to Montpellier

October is the cheapest month to fly this route, which fits the pattern: autumn fares drop once the summer crowds leave the Mediterranean coast, and the weather in southern France is still mild. September and November are close behind, and the calendar also covers the winter months, December through March, plus June. Avoid the Christmas and New Year peak, when both Poland and France travel heavily, and book well ahead for June. Midweek departures, Tuesday to Thursday, tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and early morning or late evening connections are often the cheaper ones. If your dates are flexible, compare a few weeks either side before you commit.

None of these airlines fly Warsaw to Montpellier nonstop, so every option involves at least one connection. Wizz Air and Norwegian are the low-cost names on the list, with fares that cover a seat and a small cabin bag, and anything else added at a fee. British Airways, Air France, KLM, Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, Swiss and Austrian are full-service carriers, where a checked bag and food are usually part of the ticket. Cityjet is a smaller regional name, so check its own baggage rules separately. On a connecting trip the airline you book with is not always the one flying each leg, so check who operates both parts before you decide.

Montpellier has one airport, Mediterranee, and it sits a short distance outside the city rather than in it, so you will need a transfer at the end of the trip. A shuttle bus connects the terminal with the city, and the tram network takes you onward from there, with taxis and hire cars available at the airport as well. If you land late in the evening, check the last shuttle and tram times before you book, because services thin out after the main part of the day. Because you are connecting, your bags may be checked through to Montpellier, but on separate tickets you collect them at the transfer airport and check in again.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your flight leaves from F. Chopin or Modlin, since Warsaw has two airports.
• On low-cost tickets, confirm what the fare includes and add a checked bag if you need one.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave a generous gap at the transfer airport and be ready to collect and re-check your bags.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for entry to France and that you carry whatever the airline asks for at check-in.
• Fly in October if your dates are open, and book early for the June and Christmas periods.
• Compare total journey time, not just departure time, because a tight connection can ruin an otherwise simple trip.
