Cheap flights from Burgas to Krakow

March is the cheapest month on this route, and it falls just outside the summer rush, so you get lower fares and a calmer city. Fares also show up for September, October and November, when the crowds thin out and Krakow turns crisp. From April through August, prices climb toward the school holidays and long weekends. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. For spring and autumn travel, booking a few weeks ahead is usually enough; for summer, give yourself more room.

Several carriers fly this route, and they split into two camps. Ryanair, Wizz Air and Buzz are the low-cost names, so the headline fare buys the seat and little else, with extras added one by one. Austrian, Eurowings, Eurowings Discover, Norwegian, Norwegian International, Air Baltic and Luxair sit on the full-service side, where fares tend to bundle more and a connection through a hub becomes an option. Which one suits you depends on whether you travel with hand luggage only or check a bag, and on whether you want a nonstop hop or a longer day with a transfer. Check what each fare actually includes before you compare totals.

Krakow is served by Balice, the airport that handles the city's traffic, and it sits a short ride from the centre rather than out in open country. The usual ways into town are the airport train, which links up with the main rail station, and buses and taxis that take you closer to the Old Town. Late arrivals are worth planning for, because the rail link thins out in the evening and you may be left with a bus or a taxi. If your trip continues to another Polish city, the main station is where those connections begin.
