Cheap flights from Krakow to Adelaide

May is the cheapest month on this route, and the calendar lists fares for most months from September through to June. May also falls in Adelaide's late autumn, when the city is mild and the summer crowds have gone, while Krakow is warming up. Flying midweek and avoiding the days around Polish public holidays and Australian school breaks usually trims the fare. Book the long-haul leg a few months ahead; the short European feeder flights tend to fill up closer to departure.

With no direct service, the airlines here carry you on one or both legs. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss, Finnair, Scandinavian Airlines and Turkish Airlines are full-service carriers that route you through their home hubs and normally include a checked bag on the long-haul portion of a standard fare. Nordic Regional Airlines, Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation are regional operators flying the shorter European legs, often on behalf of a larger carrier, and their baggage allowance can be tighter. Book both legs on one ticket and the airline handles a missed connection; book separately and that risk is yours.

Adelaide Airport is the only airport serving the city, and it sits close to the centre — a short drive rather than a long haul from the terminal. Taxis, rideshares and the regular airport bus all run into town, and the bus is the budget option if you are travelling light. Because you will almost certainly arrive on a connecting itinerary, check whether your bags are tagged through to Adelaide or only to the hub where you change planes. If it is the latter, you collect them and re-check them yourself, so leave yourself room between the two flights.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow flies from Balice only, so check the airport on your ticket before you pay.
• On a connecting itinerary, confirm whether your bags are tagged through to Adelaide or must be collected at the hub.
• If the legs are on separate tickets, leave a long buffer — the second airline will not rebook you after a delay.
• Compare what the fare includes: full-service carriers usually cover a checked bag on the long-haul leg, regional operators may not.
• Check your passport and Australian entry rules early, including whether a visa or electronic authorisation is required.
• Book the long-haul leg well ahead and aim for May if the price calendar allows it.
