Cheap flights from Warsaw to Tallinn

December is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also when both capitals fill up with Christmas market visitors, so book early if you want the low fares and a room to go with them. Outside the winter holidays, spring and early autumn are the calmest stretches for walking around either old town, while midsummer is the peak in Estonia and sells out quickly. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures give you far more to choose from than Friday evenings and Sunday nights. Watch the school breaks in both countries, and remember that the days right around Christmas and the New Year go first.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Norwegian and Norwegian International all sell fares on this route, and they keep the ticket low by charging separately for a checked bag and for choosing your seat. Full-service options include LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Scandinavian Airlines and Lufthansa, where a bag and a changeable ticket are usually part of the fare. Nordic Regional Airlines and Cityjet also appear among the options. Direct flights exist, but many of the fares you see involve a change of plane, so read the itinerary before you pick.

Every flight lands at Lennart Meri, Tallinn's airport, which sits close to the city rather than out in the countryside. From the terminal you reach the centre by public transport or taxi in a short ride, and the old town is easy to cover on foot once you are there. The airport is compact and quick to get through, so a normal amount of time is enough. On the way home, check which Warsaw airport your return leaves from, because F. Chopin and Modlin are far apart and mixing them up is the classic mistake on this route.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your departure is from F. Chopin or Modlin, since Warsaw has two airports and they are a long way apart.
• On a low-cost fare, add the checked bag and the seat to the ticket before you compare it with a full-service option.
• If the itinerary changes planes, keep both legs on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport or ID card for Estonia and check the entry rules for your nationality before booking.
• Look at December on the price calendar first, then compare it with spring and early autumn dates.
• Book the days around Christmas and the New Year early, because they go first.
