Cheap flights from Bari to Krakow

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also when the crowds thin out in both cities. Fares stay reasonable from late autumn into early spring, then climb through the summer school break, when travellers on both sides head away. August is the one month missing from the price calendar here, so plan further ahead if that is when you must travel. Midweek departures, Tuesday or Wednesday, usually cost less than a Friday or Sunday flight. Christmas, New Year and Easter are the dates when fares jump at both ends of the route.

Low-cost carriers do the heavy lifting here: Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, with Vueling Airlines and Transavia Airlines also showing up on the route. Full-service options such as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, ITA Airways and Swiss usually mean a connection through a hub, and their fares tend to include more than a low-cost ticket. Mokulele Flight Service also appears among the carriers listed for this route. On a low-cost fare the cabin bag is usually all you get unless you pay for more, so add your bag to the price before you compare.

Flights land at Krakow's Balice airport, outside the city, and the usual ways into the centre are the rail shuttle and the bus, with taxis and ride-hailing at the terminal if you arrive late. The station sits at the airport itself, so you can reach the old town without changing. Allow extra time on the way back, because security queues at Balice stretch out in summer and around the winter holidays. If your ticket says Krakow, check the airport code, since this is the field that serves the city. On the Bari side, Palese is the departure airport, and it is a small one, so check-in closes sooner than you may expect at a major hub.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure airport is Palese, the only airport serving Bari, before you commit to a fare.
• Add a checked bag to the low-cost price if you need one, because the cabin allowance alone rarely covers a week away.
• If your trip is built from two separate tickets, leave a long gap between flights, since a missed connection is yours to sort out.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland, and check the expiry date well before you fly.
• Book early for August travel, as it sits outside the months shown on the price calendar.
• Fly midweek in October if your dates are flexible, when fares on this route tend to be lower.
