Cheap flights from Adelaide to Krakow

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it falls inside a run of priced months that starts in September, carries through December and picks up again in February and March. December fares climb as the Christmas and New Year rush builds, so book early if you have to travel then. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the price calendar shows which dates move. Keep the seasons in mind too: October is spring in Adelaide and autumn in Krakow, so the weather at either end will not match.

No airline flies Adelaide to Krakow non-stop, so every ticket is a connecting one. Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific funnel you through their home hubs, Qantas sells the trip with partner carriers, and Lufthansa, KLM, Swiss and Finnair bring you in through European gateways. Jetstar is the low-cost option in the mix and often covers only part of the journey. With full-service carriers a checked bag and meals are usually part of the fare; with low-cost and light fares they are not, so read what each ticket includes before you compare.

Krakow is served by Balice, the city's only commercial airport, and it sits a short ride from the centre rather than out in the countryside. A train link and local buses connect the terminal with the city, and taxis and ride-hailing wait outside arrivals. If your connection lands late, check the last transfer times before you commit, because services thin out overnight. Allow time for passport control after a long-haul leg, and keep a payment card handy for the trip into town.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your connection is on a single ticket, or leave a longer gap if you booked the legs separately.
• Look at what each fare includes, since Jetstar and light fares usually charge extra for checked bags.
• Make sure your passport and any entry requirements for Poland are valid before you pay.
• Compare the months with published prices, starting with October, which is the cheapest.
• Check the layover airport and the length of the stop, because there are no direct flights on this route.
