Cheap flights from Amsterdam to Katowice

January is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the month the price calendar points to first. Fares climb through autumn and stay higher from spring onwards; the calendar here runs from September to June, so if you want to travel in high summer, book well ahead. Midweek departures are usually quieter than Friday and Sunday, when people fly home for the weekend. Around Christmas and New Year the connecting hubs get busy, so allow more time for the change in both directions.

No airline flies Amsterdam to Katowice non-stop, so every ticket here is a connecting one, and the airline list is really a list of ways to change planes. Easyjet, Vueling Airlines and Transavia Airlines are the low-cost names on the route. LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, Helvetic Airways, Air Dolomiti and Iberia are full-service carriers, where the fare is more likely to include a checked bag and a seat assignment. On low-cost tickets, baggage is normally charged on top, so compare the total rather than the headline fare.

You land at Pyrzowice, the airport that serves Katowice. It sits outside the city rather than on its edge, so the transfer into town is a separate step from your flight and worth sorting before you book. Buses and taxis are the usual ways in, and the ride takes a while, so do not plan a tight onward connection on the day you land. If you arrive in the evening, check the last departure into the city before you commit to the ticket. Leave the same buffer on the way home, and remember that a winter delay at your connecting airport eats into it.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Schiphol is the only airport on the Amsterdam side, so the choice you have to make is where you change planes, not where you start.
• Every ticket here involves a connection, so keep both legs on one booking if you want the airline to rebook you when the first flight runs late.
• On low-cost fares, add the checked bag to the fare before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• Check the entry rules for Poland and that your passport has enough validity left for the trip.
• January is the cheapest month; for summer travel, book early, since the price calendar stops at June.
• If your dates are flexible, Warsaw and Krakow are the other Polish cities served from Amsterdam.
