Cheap flights from Warsaw to Samos

November is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar covers September, October, November, December, January, May and July. Summer is the busy stretch: Greek island demand peaks in high season and Polish school holidays push fares up, while May and September sit either side of it with warm weather and fewer people. Winter is quiet and cheap, but the island slows down outside the season. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead pays off for summer travel. Watch Polish public holidays and the start of the school break, when seats go early.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name here, with checked bags and seat choice charged on top of the fare. LOT Polish Airlines flies full-service out of Warsaw, and Aegean Airlines covers the Greek side of the journey. Sky Express is a Greek regional carrier, while Swiss, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa Cityline, Helvetic Airways and Air Baltic mostly turn up on connecting itineraries through their own hubs. Hahn Air Systems appears as a ticketing partner rather than the operator at the gate. Direct flights exist on this route, but plenty of results are one-stop, so check whether your trip is a single booking or two separate tickets.

Aristarchus of Samos is the island's airport, and the run into the main town is short by island standards. Most people take a taxi, a pre-booked transfer or collect a rental car at the terminal. Buses meet some flights rather than all of them, and the timetable thins out in the evening, so line it up against your landing time before you count on it. If you are staying on another part of the island, a car gives you far more freedom, and reserving it ahead matters in summer when the small local agencies sell out. Late arrivals can find taxis scarce, so arrange your transfer before you fly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin, since Warsaw's two airports serve different airlines and are not close to each other.
• Look at what your low-cost fare includes, as Wizz Air charges extra for checked bags and seat selection.
• Confirm that a connecting itinerary is a single ticket, so a delayed first leg does not cost you the second.
• Make sure your passport or ID card is valid for Greece and check the entry rules that apply to you.
• Book early for summer and around Polish public holidays, and consider November if you want the quiet season.
