Cheap flights from Warsaw to Philadelphia

June is the cheapest month to fly this route, and late spring generally brings lower fares than the summer peak. September and October are quieter and still comfortable in both cities, while the run-up to Christmas and the New Year is the most expensive stretch. In the United States, Thanksgiving travel in late November and the Independence Day weekend push prices up on the Philadelphia end; Polish holidays around Christmas and Easter do the same from Warsaw. Midweek departures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually cheaper than Friday or Sunday flights, and booking a few months ahead helps on a connecting itinerary.

There are no direct flights between Warsaw and Philadelphia, so every airline here sells a connecting itinerary. The carriers on the route are British Airways, Nordic Regional Airlines, Aer Lingus, LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, TAP Portugal, Air Dolomiti, Lufthansa, Air Baltic and Swiss. Most are full-service airlines rather than low-cost carriers, so what is included depends on the fare family you pick rather than on the airline alone. LOT Polish Airlines is the home carrier from Warsaw, while the rest connect through their own hubs in Europe. Check the baggage allowance and the connection time for each option, since a short change can be tight on a transatlantic trip.

You will land at Philadelphia International, the only airport serving the city. It is a short drive from the centre, and taxis, rideshares and public transport are the usual ways into town. Because there are no direct flights from Warsaw, you will clear US immigration and customs on arrival in Philadelphia, so allow time for that after a long flight. If any part of your journey is on a separate ticket, you may need to collect and recheck your bag, so check the rules before you fly.

• Which Warsaw airport you are leaving from, since the city has two and they are not in the same place.
• Whether the fare includes a checked bag, especially on the cheapest hand-baggage-only tickets.
• Whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate tickets mean you may need to recheck your bag.
• That your passport and any visa or ESTA for the United States are valid for the whole trip.
• That the connection time at the European hub is realistic for you, given passport checks and terminal changes.
• That you are not travelling in the most expensive weeks around Thanksgiving, Christmas or the summer peak.
