Cheap flights from Wroclaw to Seattle

August is the cheapest month on this route, but it is also the peak of the summer season, so the saving only holds if you book early rather than late. Fares also appear for September, October, November, December and February, which covers autumn and the quieter weeks of winter — fewer families travelling, more room to move your dates. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. Two holiday periods push prices up: Christmas and New Year, when Poland and the United States both travel heavily, and American Thanksgiving in late November, which fills transatlantic cabins fast.

Every airline on this route is a full-service carrier rather than a low-cost one, and none of them fly it nonstop — you change planes at a European hub. LOT Polish Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines are the names you will see most often, with Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, Swiss, Air Dolomiti and Helvetic Airways covering the European legs, and United Airlines taking the long stretch across the Atlantic. Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation appear on some connections. Fare families differ from airline to airline, so check whether a checked bag is included or charged, and whether your connection sits on one ticket or two.

Seattle Tacoma is the airport you land at, and it sits south of the city, so the run into downtown depends on traffic — allow more time at rush hour. The light rail from the terminal is the simplest way in if you are staying central, with buses, shared shuttles, taxis and rideshare pickups as the alternatives. If you are heading to the northern suburbs, a car or a shuttle usually makes more sense than the train. Coming off a long transatlantic leg with a connection behind you, give yourself a slow first morning rather than planning anything tight.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your ticket leaves from Strachowice, since Wroclaw has only the one airport and there is no second option to mix it up with.
• Confirm whether your fare includes a checked bag, because the lightest tickets on these full-service airlines often do not.
• Make sure both legs of the connection sit on one ticket, or you carry the risk yourself if the first flight runs late.
• Check your passport validity and the current entry rules for the United States before you book anything.
• Book early for August, the cheapest month, because it is also the busiest time to leave Poland.
• Compare total journey time, not just the fare, since some connections add a long layover in Europe.
