Cheap flights from Krakow to Alesund

October is the month where fares on this route drop, and it is the one the price calendar points to first. The calendar also holds fares for September, November, December, January, February, May, July and August, so you can watch the year move before you commit. Late autumn and the quiet weeks after the New Year are usually calmer, while July and August fill up with people heading for the fjords and the coast. Book a few months ahead for summer and the winter holidays, and leave short-notice bookings for the quieter stretches. Midweek departures tend to be easier to find and cheaper than weekend ones on a connecting route like this.

Nobody flies this route nonstop, so every ticket you see is a connection, usually with one change. Norwegian and Norwegian International keep fares low by charging separately for things like checked bags and seat choice, so compare the total rather than the headline. Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines, Helvetic Airways and Cityjet are the full-service names in the mix, and their tickets often bundle more, though the rules differ by fare family. Where you change matters too: a tight connection through a big hub is less forgiving if the first flight runs late.

You land at Vigra, the airport that serves Alesund, and it sits outside the town itself, so you need a transfer rather than a walk. The airport bus and taxis are the usual ways in, and a hire car makes sense if you plan to drive on along the coast. If you land late, check the last bus before you book a flight that arrives in the evening. Alesund spreads across several islands, and the road links between them run through tunnels and bridges, which matters if you are driving yourself. Heading further into the fjords? Sort out the onward leg in advance, because the town is a gateway for many travellers rather than the final stop.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your ticket is one booking end to end, because separate tickets put the missed-connection risk on you.
• Look at what the fare includes on Norwegian and Norwegian International, where bags and seats are usually added on.
• Confirm your passport or ID is valid for Norway, which sits in the Schengen area but still checks documents at the border.
• Compare the total with a full-service carrier such as Scandinavian Airlines or KLM Royal Dutch Airlines before you assume the low fare wins.
• Book early for July and August, and keep October in mind if your dates are flexible.
• Sort out your transfer from Vigra before you land, especially on a late evening arrival.
