Cheap flights to Krakow

The city that is said to have been founded by the slaying of a dragon certainly has a rich, and occasionally tragic, history. And it’s all marvellously on display.

Wawel Castle, the atmospheric Old Town, Rynek Glowny (Europe’s largest market square), and the former Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, all have their story to tell. But today they are joined by hip clubs, cosy cafes, cutting-edge galleries, bohemian bars and exquisite dining options.

Fancy booking a cheap flight to Krakow to find out what all the fuss is about?

Let’s show you how.

When to book cheap flights to Krakow

Spring and autumn are your best bets for cheap flights and good weather. Summers tend to see high air fares and the city’s streets crammed with tourists. It is in July when the city really comes to life as street art and jazz festivals add a contemporary vibe to the Old Town.

It is cold in Krakow in winter. The city is usually snow-covered from mid-December to mid-March. This has a romantic appeal of its own, and it certainly means many bargain fares can be found, but do wrap up well. Skiing enthusiasts take note: Krakow is just a short drive from several ski resorts.

    Getting from John Paul II International Airport to Krakow

    John Paul II International Airport is situated seven miles west of the city centre. The best way to get from the airport to the heart of Krakow is to hop on a train from the station located near the passenger terminal. The journey will take around 15 minutes.

    The airport is also served by two regular bus lines and a night line, if trains are not running. The bus will take about 35 minutes to reach the centre.

    In addition taxis are available outside the arrivals hall and car hire can be arranged at the airport.

    Things to see and do in Krakow

    With a magnificent castle at its heart, the city centre’s arteries are flooded with Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance glory. Nowhere else in Poland can boast so many historical buildings and monuments, nor such vast collections of art.

    Stroll through the Old Town to take it all in, before you head for the main market square (Rynek Glowny), one of the finest medieval squares you’ll find anywhere.

    Krakow’s tragic 20th century history can be almost felt on a walking tour of its Jewish quarter. It is brought horrifically to life in the former concentration camp of Auschwitz, which lies just a bus or train ride from the centre. The Jewish quarter of Kazimierz is now an increasingly trendy area of Krakow: restaurants, bars and galleries are constantly springing up, as are some rather tasty boutique hotels.

How to survive the flight to Krakow?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Krakow could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Krakow?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Krakow in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
