Cheap flights from Warsaw to Zurich

November is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the quiet weeks on either side of it usually follow. Summer school holidays and the run-up to Christmas push fares up at both ends, and the ski season from December onwards keeps Zurich-bound seats in demand. Midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, when business travellers fill the cabins. Book a few weeks ahead in the low season and earlier for peak weekends; if your dates are flexible, compare the whole month before you commit.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names on this route, and Norwegian and Norwegian International fly a similar model. LOT Polish Airlines, Swiss, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its KLM Cityhopper regional arm, Scandinavian Airlines and Air France cover the full-service side, usually with connections through their hubs rather than a direct hop. What is included differs fare by fare, so read the baggage allowance and the seat fee before you pay. Direct flights exist, but the connecting options often widen your choice of departure times.

Zurich Airport is the only airport serving the city, so every flight on this route lands there, direct or with a stop. It lies outside the centre, and the usual way in is the train, with buses and taxis as backups. Give yourself time after landing for border checks, and check the last connection of the evening if your flight arrives late. If you booked a connecting itinerary, your bag may be checked through to Zurich or you may need to collect it at the transfer airport, so confirm which before you fly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you leave from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw's two airports are far apart and the wrong one costs you the flight.
• On Wizz Air, Norwegian and other low-cost fares, confirm what the ticket includes for bags and seats before you pay.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, leave a long buffer, because a missed leg is not the airline's problem.
• Check entry and passport rules for Switzerland before you book, since they are not the same as for Poland's neighbours.
• Compare November against the summer and Christmas weeks, when fares on this route climb.
