Cheap flights from Wroclaw to London

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it is easy to see why: the summer crowds have gone, schools are back and airlines still keep a full schedule. Late autumn and the run-up to Christmas push fares up, and so do the weeks around Easter and the May bank holidays, when Poles head to London and Brits fly the other way. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, usually cost less than Friday evenings or Sunday nights. If your dates are fixed, book well ahead. If they are not, let the price calendar pick the week for you.

The low-cost side of this route is Wizz Air, Ryanair and their UK arms, Wizz Air UK and Ryanair UK, which keep the direct fares keen and charge extra for a checked bag or a seat choice. LOT Polish Airlines flies the route as a full-service carrier, so compare what each fare actually includes before you choose. Connecting itineraries come from KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its regional partner KLM Cityhopper, Scandinavian Airlines and Helvetic Airways, while Mokulele Flight Service also appears among the carriers listed for this route. On a connection your bag may be checked through, but the rules of the first carrier decide what you can bring.

Where you land shapes the last leg of the trip. London City is the closest of the five to the centre, with the Docklands Light Railway and the Tube nearby. Heathrow has its own rail links and a Tube line, so you can reach the centre without a taxi. Gatwick, Luton and Stansted sit further out and lean on express trains and coaches into central London, and those tickets are worth buying before you fly. Watch the airport code on your booking: Wroclaw has one airport, Strachowice, but London has five, and a cheap fare to one of them can cost more in transfers than a slightly higher fare to another.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check your departure airport on the Polish side: Wroclaw flies from Strachowice, and that is the only one.
• Confirm which London airport you booked, because the transfer into the centre differs from each one.
• With Wizz Air or Ryanair, add a checked bag and a seat before you compare totals.
• If your connection is on separate tickets, leave a long gap; a missed leg is your problem, not the next airline's.
• Bring a valid passport and check the entry rules for the United Kingdom that apply to you before you fly.
• Book early for October, the cheapest month, and skip the Christmas and Easter weeks if you can.
