Cheap flights from Krakow to Bastia

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar tracks fares from September through December and again from February to July. Summer is the busy stretch: June and July fill up first, and seats on the connecting leg are the ones that disappear. Spring and autumn sit in the middle, and October and November often undercut May. Midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper than weekend ones, and they leave you more choice of connections. If you are set on travelling over the holidays, book well ahead, since the cheapest December fares go to those who book early.

Nobody flies Krakow to Bastia non-stop, so every option here is a connection built from two carriers. Wizz Air and Easyjet are the low-cost names in the mix, and Norwegian and Norwegian International sit close to them: the ticket is cheap, but a checked bag and a seat choice are usually extras, so read the fare rules. KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, Austrian, Luxair and HOP! are the full-service side, where a bag is more often part of the fare and one ticket keeps the connection protected. Mixing a low-cost first leg with a full-service second leg can save money, but then the two flights are separate contracts: if the first one runs late, the second is your problem.

Your flight lands at Poretta, the airport that serves Bastia, a short drive from the centre. The usual ways into town are the shuttle bus and the taxi rank outside the terminal, and rental cars are there if you are driving on. Because you arrive on a connection from Krakow, ask at the first check-in whether your bag is checked through to Poretta; on separate tickets you collect it and check in again at the transfer airport. If you land late, sort out your transfer before you fly rather than at the curb.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that both legs of the trip sit on one ticket, or leave a generous gap between them if they do not.
• Confirm what your low-cost fare includes, since Wizz Air, Easyjet and Norwegian often charge extra for a checked bag.
• Leave from Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, and plan around the whole journey rather than the first flight alone.
• Carry a passport or ID that meets the entry rules for France and is valid for your travel dates.
• Book early for June and July, when the summer seats on the connecting leg go first.
• Compare December against spring and autumn before you commit, since December is the cheapest month on the calendar.
