Cheap flights from Warsaw to Skopje

February is the cheapest month on this route, so if your plans are flexible, aim for late winter. Fares climb through the summer peak and around the Christmas and New Year weeks, when both Warsaw and Skopje fill up with people travelling home. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel and further out for summer, when the low-cost seats go first.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names here, with fares that cover a seat and a small cabin bag and charge extra for checked luggage and seat selection. LOT Polish Airlines flies the route as a full-service carrier, so a checked bag and a snack usually come with the ticket. The rest of the list — Pegasus, Air Dolomiti, Austrian, Sun Express, Air Baltic, Lufthansa and Helvetic Airways — mostly appears on connecting itineraries through their own hubs, which adds time but can be cheaper when direct seats are gone.

Skopje has one airport, so there is no wrong airport to land at — every flight on this route arrives at the same place. It sits outside the city, and buses and taxis run from the terminal into the centre; the transfer is simple, but leave time if you land late in the evening. Because Warsaw has two airports, the mix-up usually happens at the departure end, so check whether your ticket names F. Chopin or Modlin and plan the trip to that airport separately.
