Cheap flights from Banjul to Krakow

November is the cheapest month on this route, so aim for it if your dates are flexible. Fares are also published for September, October, January, February and April, which gives you a shoulder-season window on both sides of the northern winter. Midweek departures usually price lower than weekend ones, and the Christmas period is the busiest stretch for both cities, so book that window early. For the rest of the year, watch the calendar on this page and set a fare alert rather than guessing.

There are no direct flights from Banjul to Krakow, so every itinerary here is a connection, usually through a hub in Europe or North Africa. Turkish Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Air Senegal, TAP Portugal and Brussels Airlines are full-service carriers, and their tickets normally include a checked bag and meals on the longer legs. Vueling is a low-cost airline and Neos Air is a leisure carrier, so on those the fare tends to cover a cabin bag only, with checked luggage and seat choice charged on top. When two airlines share the journey, the baggage rules of the first carrier usually decide what you can check.

You land at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, a short ride from the city centre. A rail link and buses run from the terminal into town, and taxis wait outside arrivals, so getting in is straightforward at most hours. Because the trip is a connection, the thing to watch is your bags: on a single through ticket they are usually checked all the way to Krakow, while separate tickets mean collecting them at the transfer airport and checking in again. Leave a comfortable gap between flights, and keep your onward boarding pass within reach.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm whether your itinerary is one through ticket or separate legs, because that decides who re-checks your bags at the connection.
• Check the baggage allowance for the whole journey, since the low-cost leg often carries a smaller limit than the long-haul one.
• Make sure your passport, visa and any entry requirements for Poland are in order before you pay.
• Aim at November if your dates are flexible, and compare it with the other months that show fares.
• Allow a generous gap at the transfer airport in case the first flight runs late.
• Check which airport you transfer through, as some hubs mean a terminal change or a second security check.
