Cheap flights from Krakow to Asuncion

Fares on this route are at their lowest in March, so aim for that month if your dates are flexible. Prices are published for September through March, covering the European winter and the run-up to spring; the December holidays and the New Year week fill up early, so book those well ahead. Midweek departures from Krakow tend to be lighter on the wallet than Friday or Sunday flights, and the same goes for the return leg from Paraguay. March is also late summer in Paraguay, a good time to walk Asuncion before the cooler months arrive.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so your ticket will combine at least two flights. LOT Polish Airlines and KLM Cityhopper cover the short hop out of Krakow, while Air France and its regional partner HOP! feed the long-haul legs; British Airways, Scandinavian Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines also appear on connecting itineraries. Fly Dubai and Helvetic Airways show up on some routings as well. These are full-service and regional carriers rather than low-cost ones, so a checked bag is often part of the fare, but the allowance differs between airlines and between legs. Check what each ticket includes before you compare totals.

You land at Silvio Pettirossi, Asuncion's airport, which serves the Paraguayan capital and sits a short road transfer from the centre. Taxis and ride-hailing apps meet arrivals, and local buses run into town if you would rather keep costs down; agree the fare or check the meter before you set off. Because every itinerary from Krakow involves a change of planes, your bags are usually checked through to Asuncion, but confirm that at the check-in desk in Balice, if the legs are on separate tickets you collect and re-check them at the transit airport. Keep some time in hand for immigration, which can be slow when several long-haul arrivals land together.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the airport code on your ticket, since Balice is the only airport serving Krakow and there is no second option to fall back on.
• Confirm whether your connection is one ticket or two separate bookings, since separate tickets mean you re-check bags and carry the risk of a missed flight.
• Read the baggage rules for every airline on the itinerary, because allowances differ between the European leg and the long-haul flight.
• Check your passport validity and the entry requirements for Paraguay before you pay.
• Compare March fares with the other months shown, since that is when this route runs at its lowest.
