Cheap flights from Warsaw to Tirana

October is the cheapest month to fly from Warsaw to Tirana, so if your dates are flexible, start there. Summer is the busiest stretch and school holidays push fares up, while winter is quieter apart from the Christmas and New Year rush. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and booking a few weeks ahead usually beats leaving it to the last minute.

The low-cost side of this route is Ryanair, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta. The full-service side is LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with its KLM Cityhopper regional arm, Lufthansa, British Airways, ITA Airways and Sky Express. A low-cost seat and a full-service ticket are not the same product, so compare what each fare includes rather than the headline figure. Nonstop service exists on the route, and the full-service carriers more often mean a connection through a hub, so read the itinerary before you commit.

Tirana is served by a single airport, Nene Tereza Intl, which sits a short ride from the city centre. Most people get into town by bus or taxi, and a pre-booked transfer is the calm choice if you land late at night. The terminal is compact and easy to walk through, so the formalities take less time than at a large hub. On the way home you make the same journey in reverse, so leave a buffer before your flight to Warsaw.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your ticket leaves from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw has two airports and they are not interchangeable.
• On Ryanair and Wizz Air fares, confirm what the cabin bag allowance actually covers before you pay.
• If your trip is stitched together from two separate tickets, leave room for a delay and check whether your bags go through.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Albania and check the entry rules for your nationality before booking.
• Book early for summer and around Christmas, when seats on this route go quickly.
• Decide whether a nonstop low-cost seat or a connecting full-service ticket suits your dates better.
