Summer Flights to Warsaw ?. Fare required.

I need to book 4 pax (2 adults, 1 X 12 yr . old and 1 X 10 yr old) from YYZ to WAW in August. Departing dates could be Aug. 4 to Aug. 6 and return dates Aug. 25 to Aug. 27.
I would appreciate if someone could suggest a good site / consolidator / travel agent where I could get a decent price. I don't have much experience in buying flights to Poland and the usual websites that I have been looking up seem quite expensive. Any Summer charter flights from Canada to Poland ?.

LO was selling YYZ-WAW last summer for about 1100CAD base fare.

Another option you may want to look at is booking AC on the YYZ-LHR portion on one ticket and on a second second, booking LO or BD (depending on who you get the cheaper fare with) on the LHR-WAW leg.

Try YYZ-LHR and LHR-WAW on LH. If you have mailing address in Poland, the fare on LH is much lower then if you list Canada. LH could issue e -ticket so mailing to Poland is not an issue. You should get good fare on LOT.

Question

FWIW, over the last few years I have opted for using a "Polish" travel agent. Somehow it always worked out better than booking online. I use PEKAO Travel on Bloor Street, but you can probably get the same fares with Syrena, Piast et al.

And there's also SkyEurope: http://www.skyeurope.com/in.php

The only problem problem with EZY and SkyEurope is that they leave from LTN and STN respectively. It takes about an hour and a half to two hours (maybe more!) to get to those airports by coach.

Ask our flight attendant and you will be served with delicious snacks or sweets for a substantial cost.

There is a company called "Polimex" who specializes in flights, freight, cargo, importing from Poland.

www.polimex.com

or just set foot in Roncesvales and look for a LOT sticker or model plane.
