Cheap flights from Washington to Poznan

January is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the one to watch if your dates are open. Fares also appear for September, October, November, February and May — the shoulder months, when Poznan is quiet and connections through European hubs are easier to find. Late autumn and winter are the low season here, and summer dates are not on the calendar yet. If Poznan looks expensive on your dates, Warsaw and Krakow are also served from Washington and are worth comparing.

The airlines on this route are all full-service: Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Air Canada, Swiss, Austrian, TAP Portugal, Brussels Airlines and Virgin Atlantic. There is no low-cost carrier in the mix, so the choice comes down to the connection city, the schedule and the airport you leave from rather than to what is or is not included. Nothing flies non-stop, so every option pairs a transatlantic leg with a European one, often on two airlines under a single ticket. Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two before you book.

Every flight on this route lands at Lawica, the only airport serving Poznan, so there is no second airport to choose between on the Polish side. It is a compact city airport rather than a long-haul hub, so the walk from the gate to the exit is short and passport control is quick. Sort out your transfer into the centre before you land: check which buses, trains or taxis run from the terminal and how late they operate, because a late connection can leave you arriving after the last service. On the Washington side, remember that Dulles, Reagan National and Baltimore are separate airports with separate transfer times.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Washington airport you are leaving from — Dulles, Reagan National and Baltimore are not interchangeable.
• Compare the whole journey, not the first leg: this route always connects, so the layover airport matters as much as the fare.
• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate tickets mean you carry the risk of a missed onward flight.
• Confirm what your fare includes for checked baggage, especially when two airlines share the trip.
• Make sure your passport and any entry document for Poland are valid well beyond your travel dates.
• Book around January if your dates are flexible, and compare the shoulder months before you commit.
