Cheap flights from Warsaw to Seattle

May is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also a comfortable time to land in the Pacific Northwest: school is still in and the summer rush has not started. Fares are listed for every month, so you can compare the whole year at a glance. Prices climb through June, July and August, when both Poland and the USA empty out on holiday, then settle again in autumn. December is the other expensive stretch, because Christmas and New Year fill the transatlantic connections, and Thanksgiving week is heavy on the US side. For quieter cabins, look at Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday departures, and book a few months ahead for summer or Christmas.

No low-cost carrier flies this route. Every airline between Warsaw and Seattle is full-service, so a checked bag, meals on the long legs and seat selection are usually part of the ticket rather than extras. The mix spans American Airlines, United Airlines and Air Canada on the North American side, and British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Icelandair, Condor, KLM Cityhopper and Turkish Airlines on the European side. Since nothing is non-stop, each of them routes you through its own hub, and what separates them is mostly connection time and how the schedule fits your day. Fare families still differ, so check what your specific ticket includes.

You land at Seattle Tacoma, the airport that serves the city and the one that takes the long-haul arrivals from Warsaw. It sits south of downtown, and the light rail from the terminal is the easiest way into the centre if you are travelling light. Buses, taxis and ride-hailing cover the same run and make more sense with heavy bags or a landing late at night. Coming back, leave extra room: the drive south can slow down badly with traffic, and Seattle Tacoma gets busy at the start of the day. Check which terminal your onward or return flight uses before you arrange a pickup.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw's two airports sit on opposite sides of the city and Modlin is the smaller one.
• Since nothing on this route is non-stop, compare total travel time and connection length, not just the fare.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, a missed connection is your own problem, so leave a long buffer.
• Make sure your passport and any US entry authorisation are valid before you pay.
• Read the price calendar month by month: May is the cheapest, while summer and Christmas cost noticeably more.
• Confirm what baggage is included, because the rules change with the fare family even on full-service airlines.
