Cheap flights from Warsaw to Olbia

September is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is easy to see why: the Sardinian crowds thin out while the sea is still warm. Fares climb through the summer school holidays and stay high until late August, then fall again in autumn. Winter and early spring are quieter, with fewer direct options and more connections through hubs. Midweek departures are usually cheaper than weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead helps for summer travel. Around Polish public holidays and the Italian holiday weeks, seats on both legs fill up quickly, so decide early.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost carriers on this route, and they are the ones most likely to fly you straight to Olbia in season. Expect a bare fare: a small cabin bag is included, while checked luggage and seat selection cost extra. Eurowings works in a similar low-cost style. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France are the full-service names here, and they usually route you through their hubs, with a checked bag and refreshments included in most fares. KLM Cityhopper and Cityjet operate the smaller regional legs that feed those connections, so one ticket can carry more than one carrier name.

Olbia Costa Smeralda is the airport you land at, and it sits close to the city rather than out in the countryside, so the transfer into the centre is short. Buses and taxis are the usual ways into town, with more buses running in summer when the flights are busiest. If you are heading for the resorts along the northern coast, the drive is longer and a hire car or a pre-booked transfer makes more sense than a city bus. In high season, baggage reclaim and the rental desks can eat into your first afternoon, so pick up your car early or arrange the transfer in advance. Check the last transfer times before you land if your flight arrives in the evening.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight leaves from, because F. Chopin and Modlin are not interchangeable and the transfer between them takes time.
• Look at what the fare includes on the low-cost carriers, since a small cabin bag is often all you get.
• If you book the legs separately, leave a generous gap, as a missed connection on separate tickets is your problem, not the airline's.
• Make sure your travel document is valid for Italy, and check the rules if you do not hold a Polish passport.
• Decide early for summer and September travel, when direct seats sell out first.
• Confirm the last transfer from Olbia airport if your flight lands late in the day.
