Warsaw, Poland’s vibrant capital city, seamlessly blends its storied past with modern innovation. The city has attracted many types of travelers mainly for its history, culture, and cosmopolitan charm.<\/p>

There are many aspects to the city, from the meticulously restored Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the sleek skyscrapers of the bustling city center. The city also has plenty of luxury hotels<\/a> catering to their business travelers and leisure visitors.<\/p>

We recently visited the city after our first trip on LOT Polish Airlines<\/a> that originated with a flight from New York to Warsaw<\/a> and then onwards from Warsaw to Istanbul.<\/p>

While we only had a day in the city it was clear there were many instances of its modern luxury that preserves the Eastern European style.<\/p>

While Warsaw does attract many travelers from Europe, there is very limited options for direct flights from the US. If you are originating in a city that offers service we will tell you the best option to fly into Warsaw.<\/p>

Airports Near Warsaw<\/h2>

Warsaw is primary served by two international airports, welcoming more than 20 million travelers a year. The majority of international travelers will be arriving or transiting via Chopin Airport that serves the majority of passengers.<\/p>

Chopin Airport (WAW), the largest airport in Poland, is located about 10 kilometers from the city center and make for an easy journey into Warsaw. The majority of flights arriving into Chopin arrive from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. If you are traveling on a long haul flight into Warsaw it is very likely you will arrive in Chopin.<\/p>

On the other hand, Modlin Airport (WMI) was opened in 2012 to primary serve low-cost airlines. Located a bit far from the city center at 40 kilometers, there are still several options to make it into Warsaw.<\/p>

Airlines Flying To Warsaw<\/h2>

If you are departing from the US, there are limited options if you want to fly direct. The only two airlines that offer service are LOT Polish Airlines and more recently Air Belgium. Unfortunately none of the major US airlines fly directly to Warsaw and will require a stop offer and continuation on a code share partner.<\/p>

If you are flying via Europe you have several additional options to LOT and Air Belgium that include Wizz Air, Smartwings, Ryan Air, and Enter Air. The good news about these carriers is you can usually find extremely cheap tickets for your onward journey.<\/p>

If you are departing from the US, the major cities served by direct flights include New York and Chicago. If you are not located in one of these cities you may need to transfer to them to fly in nonstop to Warsaw.<\/p>

Airfare to Warsaw<\/h2>

Ticket prices to Warsaw can vary depending on season and with the rise of low cost carriers you can now find tickets as cheap as $300 – $600 roundtrip. If you are planning around major airline you can expect $600 – $800 in off peak season and $800 – $1,000 during peak season. We like using Skyscanner to find the best deal<\/a> and their compare page makes it easy.<\/p>

Here is a breakdown of average round trip prices by month.<\/p>
