Cheap flights from Warsaw to Paris

Fares on this route tend to be at their lowest in November, outside the school breaks and the summer rush. Spring and early autumn are pleasant for walking the city, while July and August bring the crowds and the highest demand. December and the winter months are quiet apart from the holiday period, when prices jump for the days around Christmas and New Year. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, are usually calmer and cheaper than Friday evening or Sunday returns. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and summer travel, and use the price calendar to compare the months either side of your dates.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Ryanair, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta all fly this route, with the usual model of a small cabin bag included and everything else paid for separately. Full-service options include LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, British Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian and Norwegian International, plus Aegean Airlines. On those, a checked bag and seat selection are typically part of the fare, and some of them route you through a hub rather than flying you straight there. Check whether your ticket is direct or a connection before you compare totals, because a cheap fare with a long layover is rarely the bargain it looks like.

Paris has three airports and they are not interchangeable. Charles De Gaulle and Orly sit within the city region, with trains and buses running into the centre throughout the day; Charles De Gaulle is the larger of the two and the one most full-service flights use. Beauvais Tille is much further out and mostly serves low-cost arrivals, so the transfer into Paris takes considerably longer and the last bus of the evening leaves early. Whichever you land at, work out the transfer before you book, and check the airport on your ticket rather than assuming you are flying into the one you expected.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin, since Warsaw's two airports are far apart.
• Confirm what your low-cost fare includes, as Ryanair and Wizz Air charge separately for checked bags and seat selection.
• If your trip involves a connection, make sure it is one ticket, or leave a generous buffer.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for France and check entry rules for your nationality.
• Book early for spring and summer departures, and compare November against your preferred dates.
• Plan the transfer from Beauvais Tille if you land there, as it sits furthest from the centre.
