Last December, FCF wrote a report on Airline Tactical Fares and The Upgrade Mindset, highlighting a range of different low-priced (or “tactical”) fares. Two of these were “destination-specific” and “holiday” tactical fares, meaning that certain routes and times of the year offer lower fares when compared to high-priced options.

Knowing the destinations and travel times that are extraordinary discounted in Business Class can net you a much more comfortable and relaxed vacation—one that starts when you board the plane.

Furthermore, if you’re an Opportunity Traveler, and have a broad bucket list of destinations, and go with the one that affords the best overall life experience. Right now, one is Warsaw, Poland.

New Hidden Low-Fare Destinations in Europe

Over the years we’ve seen many different low-fare destinations in Europe including Sofia, Dublin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Bucharest, Budapest, and even Palermo and Naples, Italy. It’s always changing.

Now it’s Warsaw’s turn. We’ve found fares starting as low as $1,843 round-trip from Atlanta, Boston, and New York to Warsaw with SkyTeam airlines Air France, Delta, and KLM for travel in April.

Or, another way to look at how great the deal is to compare it to other high-fare destinations on major airlines. Take New York to Vienna, for instance, starts at $3,245, a savings of $1,402 (43%)—and just 75 minutes / $60 away!

Or from Los Angeles starting at $2,443, when tickets from LA to Warsaw are normally $3,000+. Plus, we’ve got other (normally) high-fare routes on major airlines going for way cheap, such as Frankfurt starting at $4,020, a savings of $1,577 (39%).

Warsaw in Spring

Warsaw, Poland’s “Phoenix City,” literally rose from the ashes after being bombed catastrophically during World War Two. There’s lots to see and do in Warsaw for a day or two even if you’re just “using it” to get to the region, including:

• The restored “Old Town,” a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring a market place packed with cafes, shops, restaurants and St John’s Cathedral.
• The Royal Castle, completely rebuilt after its destruction in the war, home to two famous Rembrandt paintings.
• The imposing Palace of Culture and Science offering 360-degree views of the city from its 30^th floor terrace.
• The Praga district with its trendy shops and eateries, and the cool Neon Museum.
• The Rising Museum, all about Warsaw’s relentless WWII resistance.
• A must-have drink at the Marriott Hotel’s Panorama Bar, with spectacular views across the city.
• My Favorite: The Fryderyk Chopin Museum, showcasing the work of Poland’s amazing composer.

BEWARE OF DESTINATION BLINDNESS

If you don’t see a deal to Vienna in FCF but there’s a deal to Warsaw, why not check out Warsaw? Then hop on over to Vienna. Travel in Europe is cheap. Jump on a train or fly between these two beautiful cities—they’re just over an hour’s flight from one another. 

If any part of this plan so far is freaking you out, consider this: Warsaw is closer to Vienna than Chicago is to New York (yet we probably think nothing of traveling from Chicago to NYC but develop the cold sweats when thinking about traveling between European cities).

Warsaw and Berlin are the same flight time apart as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Let that sink in! Breathe in. Breathe out. You can do this.
