Cheap flights from Warsaw to Windhoek

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers every month of the year, so you can see how the rest of the year compares before you commit. Fares climb around Christmas and New Year, when families travel, and again during the European school holidays. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the quieter weeks after the holidays are easier on the wallet. For the busy months, book well ahead. For October and the quieter stretches, you can decide later and still find a seat.

Nobody flies Warsaw to Windhoek non-stop, so the airlines on this route are the ones that can carry you across Europe, the Gulf or Africa. Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways route you through their Gulf hubs; Ethiopian Airlines and TAAG Angola Airlines do it through Africa. LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, TAP Portugal, KLM Cityhopper, Braathens Regional Aviation and HI Fly Transportes Aereo appear on the European legs. These are full-service carriers rather than low-cost ones, so a checked bag is usually part of the fare, though regional legs can come with tighter allowances. Check what each ticket includes before you compare totals.

Hosea Kutako International is the only airport serving Windhoek, and it sits a fair way outside the city, so the drive in takes a while rather than a few minutes. There is no train link. Shared shuttles, pre-booked transfers and taxis meet the main arrivals, and car hire desks are at the airport if you plan to drive yourself. If your connection lands late at night, arrange the transfer before you fly, because desks and shuttle counters can be quiet by then. Lodges and guesthouses in the city centre or in the suburbs usually offer pick-ups, so ask when you book your room.

• Decide between F. Chopin and Modlin before you search, since the two Warsaw airports serve different airlines.
• Check whether your fare includes a checked bag, especially if the first leg is operated by a regional partner.
• Allow plenty of time between connections, and be careful with separate tickets, where a missed leg is your problem, not the airline's.
• Confirm your passport is valid well beyond your return date and check the current entry rules for Namibia before you pay.
• Book October if price is your priority, and use the price calendar to compare the weeks on either side.
• Arrange your transfer from Hosea Kutako International in advance if you land at night.
