Cheap flights from Bremen to Krakow

November is the cheapest month on this route, and fares stay low through the quieter weeks of late autumn and winter. Prices are shown for September through February, so the page covers the whole cold-season window, when demand drops between the summer rush and the spring. Weekday departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, tend to be calmer than Friday and Sunday, when people fly home for the weekend. School holidays and the run-up to Christmas push fares up at both ends of the route, so book early if you need to travel then. If your dates are flexible, compare a few days either side before you commit.

Nothing on this route is non-stop, so every option pairs two flights. Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Austrian and Swiss are the full-service names here, and their fares usually include a carry-on bag plus a checked allowance on the higher fare families. Eurowings, Pegasus and Sun Express sit closer to the low-cost model: the base fare covers your seat and a small bag, and everything else is paid for separately. Helvetic Airways, Lufthansa City Airlines and Lufthansa Cityline turn up as the regional partner on some connections. Compare the total, not the headline fare, because a cheap ticket with a paid bag can end up costing more than a full-service one.

Your flight lands at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, and it sits outside the city rather than in it. A train runs from the airport to the main station, and buses and taxis cover the same trip if you arrive late or carry a lot of luggage. The ride into the centre is short, so you are in town soon after landing. On the way back, allow time for the transfer, and remember that a connecting itinerary means two boarding gates, not one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure airport is Bremen, since the city has only one.
• Look at the connection time in your itinerary, because a tight change at a hub is where cheap fares go wrong.
• On low-cost tickets from Eurowings, Pegasus or Sun Express, add the checked bag before you compare fares.
• If your legs are booked separately, you collect and re-check your bags and a delay is yours to solve.
• Carry a passport or identity card valid for Poland and check the entry rules for your nationality.
• Book early for the winter holidays and the Christmas weeks, when seats on this route fill up.
