Cheap flights from Birmingham to Krakow

January brings cold weather and short daylight hours in Poland but often shows lower prices. September through July display fare data on this route, giving you plenty of options to compare. Weekday departures typically cost less than weekend travel around holidays or school breaks.

Low-cost carriers like Ryanair, Easyjet, and Wizz Air Malta charge extra for checked luggage and seat selection. Full-service airlines including Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, and Eurowings include more amenities in their base fares. Some operators fly direct while others require connections at their respective hubs across Europe.

Balice Airport sits approximately thirty kilometers northwest of Krakow's historic center. Public buses and taxis provide regular transport into town from the terminal area. You should allow extra time during peak seasons when queues form at customs and immigration checkpoints.
