Cheap flights from Zadar to Warsaw

September is when fares on this route settle down, after the Adriatic summer rush and before the Christmas traffic builds. The price calendar covers most months from September through June, so you can compare autumn, winter and spring departures side by side. Midweek flights generally come in lower than weekend ones, and school holidays in both countries push prices up. If your dates are flexible, late September and October are the sweet spot, when Zadar is quieter and Warsaw is still mild.

Wizz Air and Ryanair are the low-cost names here, and the ones to watch if you travel with hand luggage only. Croatia Airlines, the Croatian flag carrier, is the full-service option from the region, while Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, Austrian, Eurowings, Eurowings Discover, Edelweiss Air and Luxair mostly sell tickets that route you through a hub instead of flying you non-stop. Direct flights do exist between Zadar and Warsaw, so check the routing before you compare prices. The difference shows up in what is included: low-cost fares usually charge extra for a cabin bag and a checked suitcase, while full-service tickets tend to include a checked bag and a drink on board.

Warsaw has two airports, and they are not interchangeable. F. Chopin is the main one and sits closest to the centre, with trains, buses and taxis running into town. Modlin lies further north and handles mostly low-cost traffic, so reaching the centre takes longer and usually means a coach or a taxi rather than a quick hop. Check your ticket before you leave Zadar, because a fare into Modlin when you are staying near the old town adds a long transfer at the end of the day. Both airports have car hire desks and taxi ranks outside arrivals.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Warsaw airport your ticket uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin sit on opposite sides of the city.
• On Wizz Air and Ryanair, price a cabin bag and a checked suitcase into the fare before comparing it with a full-service ticket.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave a long gap between them, because a missed connection is yours to sort out.
• Bring a valid passport or national ID card; Croatia and Poland are both in the EU, so a card is usually enough for EU citizens.
• Book September early if you want the lowest fares, since that is the month prices settle.
• Look at the price calendar before you fix a date, as the spread between September and the summer months is wide.
