Cheap flights Warsaw to San Jose

March is the cheapest month for this route, and the price calendar carries fares for every month from September through August, so you can see how the rest of the year compares. Late autumn and the first half of December are usually calmer, while the summer school holidays and the days around Christmas push airfare up on both sides of the Atlantic. Flying out of Warsaw midweek tends to cost less than a Friday or Sunday departure, and booking well ahead matters most in the peak weeks. Polish holidays in spring and the American Thanksgiving rush in November are worth planning around.

Nothing flies this route nonstop, so every itinerary pairs a European airline with a US carrier. American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines handle the transatlantic leg, while Iberia, Finnair, British Airways, Swiss, Air France, Condor and Nordic Regional Airlines bring you into their own hubs for the connection. These are full-service network carriers rather than low-cost airlines, but what your ticket includes still depends on the fare: baggage and seat rules are set by the airline that issues it, and on a connection the allowance for the short European hop can differ from the long-haul leg. Read the fare conditions before you pick.

San Jose Municipal is the airport that serves the city itself, so you land in San Jose rather than at one of the bigger Bay Area airports further out. From the terminal you can reach downtown by taxi, rideshare, bus or light rail, and the drive is short compared with the airports around San Francisco Bay. Because every itinerary here connects, you clear US immigration at your first point of entry, not in San Jose, so leave a comfortable margin between flights. Late arrivals are worth checking against the last buses and trains of the day.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Warsaw has two airports, F. Chopin and Modlin, so check which one your flight leaves from.
• Every itinerary here connects, so look at the layover length and whether both legs are on one ticket.
• Book the legs separately and a missed connection is yours to fix, not the airline's.
• Check the baggage allowance for the long-haul leg and the short European hop separately.
• Make sure your passport and US entry authorisation are valid well before departure.
• Fares are lowest in March, so compare that month with the summer and holiday weeks.
