Cheap flights from Warsaw to Tel Aviv Yafo

November is the month this route usually prices lowest, and the calendar covers every month from September through August, so you can see how far fares move across the year. Summer and the big holiday periods in Poland and Israel are the busiest and the priciest; late autumn and the quieter weeks of winter are where the savings sit. Flying out midweek rather than at the end of the week often shows up cheaper on the calendar, but check your own dates instead of assuming. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips, and earlier than that if you are travelling around Christmas, New Year or the spring holidays.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost options on this route, with fares that start small and grow as you add bags and seats. LOT Polish Airlines and El Al Israel Airlines are the full-service names here, and Aegean Airlines, Sky Express, Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian and Helvetic Airways sell connections through their own hubs. What differs most is what comes with the ticket: a low-cost fare buys you a seat and whatever cabin allowance it states, while a full-service fare bundles more in. Compare the total for the trip you are actually taking, not the headline fare.

Ben Gurion International is the airport serving Tel Aviv Yafo, and it sits a short ride south-east of the city, close enough that the train or a taxi into town does not take long, though traffic on the approach can stretch it. The train stops at several stations across Tel Aviv, and shared taxis and buses cover the same journey. Allow extra time on the way out, because security checks at Ben Gurion are thorough and begin before you reach the gate. Public transport in Israel largely stops for Shabbat, from Friday afternoon into Saturday evening, so plan your arrival day around that.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Work out whether you are leaving from F. Chopin or Modlin before you search, because the two Warsaw airports do not serve the same carriers.
• Check what a Wizz Air or Wizz Air Malta fare includes, since baggage and seat choice are usually sold separately.
• If you mix airlines, keep the connection on one ticket or leave time to collect bags and check in again.
• Check your passport and the current entry rules for Israel before you pay.
• Book early for school breaks and religious holidays, when seats on this route go first.
