Cheap flights from Girona to Krakow

The cheapest month on this route is September, when the Costa Brava season winds down and Krakow is still mild enough for walking. Fares are published for September, October, November, December, January, April, June and July, so you can weigh a late-summer trip against a winter city break. June and July climb with the summer rush out of Catalonia, while November and January sit outside both the summer peak and the Christmas travel window. Compare a midweek date with a weekend one before you commit, and watch school holidays and local fiestas in Spain and Poland, which lift demand at both ends of the route.

Three carriers appear on this route: Ryanair, Jet2 and Luxair. Ryanair and Jet2 are low-cost airlines, so the fare you see is the starting point and anything extra is priced on top — check what is included before you add a bag or a seat. Luxair is a full-service carrier, where more tends to come as part of the ticket and the fare rules read differently. The route itself is direct, so the difference between them is not the flying time but what you get for the money and how the schedules line up with your dates.

Flights land at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, and it sits outside the city rather than in it. Trains, buses and taxis connect the terminal with the centre, so treat the transfer as part of the trip and check the last connection if you land late in the evening. On the way home, leave a margin between the city and the airport, because the road in slows down at peak times. If someone is meeting you, agree on the arrivals hall beforehand — Balice is compact but busy when several flights land together.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that your departure airport is Costa Brava, since every Girona flight on this route leaves from there
• Check what your fare includes for cabin and checked baggage before you add anything at checkout
• If you are stitching the trip together from separate tickets, build in extra time in case a leg runs late
• Carry valid travel documents for Poland and check the entry rules that apply to your nationality
• Book early for June and July, when summer demand out of Catalonia pushes fares up
• Compare September with the winter months on the price calendar, since the cheapest month is not always the one that fits your dates
