Cheap flights from Wroclaw to Philadelphia

November is the cheapest month on this route, sitting inside a run of published fares that starts in September and carries through October, November, December and January. June and July are the other months with prices worth watching, but they are peak summer travel to the United States, so book those early. Midweek departures out of Wroclaw tend to price lower than weekend ones. If you are flying in late November, remember that American Thanksgiving falls then — the days around it are busy and costly, while the rest of the month stays quiet. For a December trip, try to avoid the Christmas and New Year window.

The airlines selling this route are a mix of European network carriers and regional operators: Lufthansa and its Cityline arm, Swiss, Air Dolomiti, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, United Airlines, Helvetic Airways, Braathens Regional Aviation and Cityjet. None of them is a low-cost carrier, so you are buying a full-service ticket, though what is included depends on the fare family you pick. United Airlines and Lufthansa sell the transatlantic leg; the smaller names mostly fly the European feeder segments. Baggage and seat rules follow the fare you book, not the airline name, so read the conditions before you pay.

Philadelphia International is where you land, a short ride south-west of Center City. A taxi or rideshare into town is quick outside rush hour, and the airport train runs to the downtown stations if you would rather skip the traffic. The terminals sit close together, so moving between them on foot or by shuttle is straightforward when your connection is on the ground. Two things to plan for: immigration queues after a long-haul landing can be slow, and the roads into the city clog up in the late afternoon.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which airport your connection goes through and how long you have between legs, because this route has no nonstop option and a tight change is the main risk.
• Make sure both flights sit on one ticket, or you carry the risk yourself if the first leg runs late.
• Look at what the fare includes for baggage, since the European feeder leg and the transatlantic leg can follow different rules.
• Have your passport and US entry authorisation ready before you book, because you will need them at check-in.
• Book early for June and July, and aim at November if you want the lowest fares of the year.
