Cheap flights from Krakow to Bari

October is the cheapest month for this route, and September and November usually come close behind it. Summer is the expensive stretch: school holidays in Poland and Italy fill the direct flights, and fares climb from late spring into August. If your dates are flexible, fly midweek rather than at the weekend and stay clear of the first and last weekends of the school breaks. For summer travel, book as early as you can, because the direct seats go first and the connecting options fill up after. The price calendar covers every month of the year, so check where your dates land before you commit.

The airlines on this route fall into two groups. Ryanair, Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet and Norwegian are the low-cost names: the fare covers a seat and a small bag, and a larger cabin bag, a checked bag or a seat choice costs extra. ITA Airways, Air Serbia, KLM Cityhopper, German Airways and Mokulele Flight Service are the full-service and regional carriers, where more is included in the ticket and connections are more common. Compare the total rather than the headline, because a low-cost fare with bags added can end up above a full-service ticket. And check whether a connection is on one ticket, since separate bookings leave you to sort out a missed leg.

Bari has a single airport, Palese, and that is where you land on this route. It sits outside the centre, so build in time for the transfer instead of assuming you can step out of the terminal into the old town. Plan the last leg before you fly: how you get from Palese into Bari depends on the hour you land, and a late arrival narrows your choices to a taxi. If you are heading further along the Puglia coast, decide whether to go into the city first or travel straight on from the airport. On a low-cost ticket, allow for the wait at baggage reclaim if you have paid for a checked bag, and keep your receipt in case it does not arrive with you.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the airport code on your ticket: Krakow flies from Balice and there is no second airport to fall back on.
• On a low-cost fare, add the cabin bag and the checked bag you actually need before you compare totals.
• If your itinerary changes planes, make sure it is one ticket, because a self-transfer connection leaves you to cover a missed leg.
• Check which travel document Italy accepts for your nationality and that it stays valid for the whole trip.
• Book early for summer and around school breaks; October and the months either side are where the calendar usually dips.
• If you land late at Palese, sort out your transfer into Bari before you fly rather than at the airport.
