Cheap flights from Krakow to Barcelona

December is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are flexible, aim for the run-up to Christmas rather than the summer peak. Spring and early autumn are pleasant in both Krakow and Barcelona and fares sit in the middle, while July and August are the busiest and most expensive, when everyone wants the Mediterranean. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and school breaks push prices up at both ends of the route. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel and earlier than that for summer.

Wizz Air, Ryanair, Wizz Air Malta and Easyjet are the low-cost names here, where the fare buys a seat and a small cabin bag and everything else, from a bigger bag to a chosen seat, costs extra. Norwegian and Norwegian International sit in the same low-cost camp. LOT Polish Airlines, Air Serbia, Scandinavian Airlines and Swiss are the full-service carriers, so a checked bag and a drink are usually part of the ticket. Not every option is non-stop: check whether your flight goes direct or changes planes, and whether your bags are through-checked if it does.

Barcelona's airport, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona - El Prat, lies outside the city and is the one you will land at on this route. Buses, the train and taxis all cover the run into the centre, so getting to your hotel is straightforward. Check which terminal your flight uses, because low-cost and full-service carriers do not always share one, and allow extra time if you land late at night. If you are travelling on along the coast, make sure your onward connection leaves from the same terminal.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow flies out of Balice, so confirm your departure airport and terminal before you leave for the airport.
• Check that your low-cost fare includes the cabin bag you plan to bring, and add a checked bag at booking if you need one.
• See whether your ticket is non-stop or changes planes, since the airline list mixes direct and connecting options.
• If you book the legs separately, leave a generous gap so a delay on the first flight does not cost you the second.
• Carry a valid passport or national identity card for Spain and check the entry rules that apply to you.
• Book early for December if you want the lowest fares, and watch the school breaks on both ends of the route.
