Cheap flights from Bangalore to Krakow

December is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is also the coldest and busiest in Krakow, so weigh the lower fare against holiday crowds. Fares are also tracked through September, October, November, January, February, March, May and June, which covers the Polish winter and spring and the months either side of the Indian monsoon. Late spring and early autumn tend to give the mildest weather at both ends. Midweek departures from Kempegowda Intl usually cost less than weekend ones, and the December holidays fill the long-haul cabins first, so book well before you plan to travel.

Ten carriers sell tickets on this route, and none of them flies it non-stop. Air Arabia is the low-cost name in the list. Qatar Airways, Gulf Air, Oman Air, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Turkish Airlines take you through their Gulf hubs; Lufthansa, Swiss, British Airways and LOT Polish Airlines connect in Europe instead. Full-service fares on the Gulf and European carriers normally include a checked bag and meals, and one through-ticket means the airline looks after you if a connection is missed. On a low-cost fare, baggage and seat choice cost extra, and if you buy the legs separately, a delay on the first one is your problem, not theirs.

You land at Balice, Krakow's airport, which sits a short ride outside the city rather than in the middle of it. A train and a bus both run between the terminal and the centre, and taxis wait outside arrivals; the ride is short enough that a taxi is a realistic option after a long journey with a connection behind you. Allow time for border checks, since Poland is in the Schengen area and you may be asked for your onward booking and travel insurance. If your connection lands late, check whether the last train or bus has gone before you count on it.

Country facts: Wikidata

• All flights leave from Kempegowda Intl, so there is no second Bangalore airport to choose between.
• Check whether your fare includes a checked bag — the low-cost option on this route charges for it separately.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave a long buffer at the connecting airport — a missed connection is then yours to fix.
• Confirm your visa position for Poland and the Schengen area before you pay, and check that your passport has enough validity left.
• December is the cheapest month here, so if you want that fare, book it early rather than waiting for winter.
• Compare total journey time, not just the fare — a cheap connection through the Gulf can add hours to your trip.
