Cheap Flights from Warsaw to Cape Town — $470

Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) is Poland’s primary international gateway and typically serves as the city’s full-service hub, hosting national carrier LOT and many European network airlines alongside some long-haul services. It sits about 10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes by car without heavy traffic) south-west of the city centre, with express train links to central Warsaw taking around 20 minutes and costing modest fares, plus regular buses and taxis. Travelers can expect a relatively comfortable, well-equipped terminal good for connections; downsides can include peak-hour queues and slightly higher fares compared with secondary airports. Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI) functions mainly as a budget/low-cost point for Warsaw, commonly used by carriers such as Ryanair and other discount airlines. Located approximately 35–40 km north-west of central Warsaw, transfer times are typically 40–60 minutes by shuttle bus or car depending on traffic, with shuttle fares usually lower than regular taxis. It can be a cheaper option for leisure travellers but can feel more basic in facilities and have fewer onward transport choices, so factor in extra time for transfers and occasional schedule limitations.

Cape Town International (CPT) is the city’s main international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional flights, serving full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 20–25 km from the city centre, with travel times ranging from roughly 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic.
