The sweet spot for booking is 6-10 weeks before departure, with March and November offering the lowest prices (€360-390) due to lower demand between peak seasons. Avoid December and July-August when prices spike to €680-750. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are consistently cheapest, saving €50-100 compared to Friday-Sunday flights. Use Google Flights or Skyscanner to compare all carriers, but book directly with the airline for better customer service and easier changes.

Consider mixing carriers—for example, LOT to Vienna then another carrier east—for better pricing.
