Cheap flights from Warsaw to Sao Paulo

March is the cheapest month on this route, and fares around it stay reasonable through the European spring. The Brazilian summer holiday season, which runs through December and into February, is the expensive stretch, when families fly home and seats go early. Aim for a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday departure if you can, since weekend departures out of Warsaw tend to cost more. Book a few months ahead for the March window, and watch the price calendar, because connections on this route move more than the nonstop fares you may be used to.

No airline flies Warsaw to Sao Paulo nonstop, so every ticket is a connection. LOT Polish Airlines is the home carrier at Warsaw, and Wizz Air is the low-cost name in the mix. TAP Portugal, Iberia, Air Europa and Finnair are full-service European carriers that route you through their home hubs, while Turkish Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines add longer connections through the eastern Mediterranean and Africa. LATAM Airlines and Azul cover the Brazilian end, and they are worth checking if you want a domestic hop after landing. On a low-cost ticket expect to pay extra for a checked bag; on the network carriers a bag and a meal usually come with the fare.

Sao Paulo has three airports and they are not interchangeable. Guarulhos International handles the long-haul arrivals from Europe and sits well outside the city, so plan on a bus, a taxi or a rideshare for the last stretch into town, and allow for traffic that can turn it into a slow crawl. Congonhas is the close-in field, handy for domestic hops but rarely your international arrival. Viracopos is in Campinas, a separate city altogether, and reaching Sao Paulo from there takes a coach or a car. Check which airport your ticket actually names before you book the onward leg.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide between F. Chopin and Modlin before you search, because the two Warsaw airports serve different airlines.
• Check what the fare includes on a low-cost ticket, since a checked bag is usually charged on top.
• Leave yourself room at the connection if the legs are booked on separate tickets, because you may need to collect and recheck your bags.
• Confirm passport validity and any visa or vaccination requirements for Brazil well before departure.
• Book early if you are aiming at March, the cheapest month on this route.
• Note which Sao Paulo airport you land at, since Guarulhos, Congonhas and Viracopos are far apart.
