Cheap flights from Warsaw to Poznan

March is the cheapest month on this route, and the months around it — late winter into early spring — tend to stay quiet as well. Summer and the run-up to Christmas are the busiest, when fares climb and the good departure times go first. On weekdays, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday departures usually cost less than Friday evening or Sunday, which is when people head home. Watch the Polish holiday calendar: the long weekends in spring and early summer, plus Christmas and the New Year, fill seats fast on both ends of the route. Booking a few weeks ahead helps, and if your dates are flexible, compare the whole month rather than a single day.

Direct flights are available on this route, which is what most people book when they want to keep the trip short. Alongside them you will see LOT Polish Airlines, Cityjet, Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Helvetic Airways, Austrian, Air Dolomiti, Air Baltic and Swiss. Most of these are full-service network airlines, and many connect through their own hubs rather than flying you straight there. That can mean a longer journey but sometimes a better departure time. Fare rules still vary by ticket, so check what your booking includes before you pay, especially if you plan to check a bag.

Poznan Lawica is the airport you land at, and getting into town is straightforward. Taxis and ride-shares wait outside arrivals, and public transport links the airport with the city centre, so you can pick whatever suits your arrival time and budget. If you land late, check the last connections before you book, since services thin out in the evening. One thing to watch on this route: Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, and they are not next to each other, so confirm which one your ticket names before you set off for the airport.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your Warsaw departure leaves from F. Chopin or Modlin, since the two airports are not interchangeable.
• Confirm what your fare includes if you are checking a bag, because full-service and low-cost tickets differ here.
• If your itinerary involves a connection, make sure it is on one ticket rather than two separate bookings.
• Travel within Poland is domestic, so bring a valid identity document or passport to the gate, and visitors from outside the EU should check entry rules.
• Book early for spring long weekends, Christmas and the New Year, when seats on this route sell out.
• Compare the whole month rather than a single date, since March is usually the cheapest month to fly.
