Cheap flights from Krakow to Batumi

April is the cheapest month for this route, so aim for it if your dates are flexible. Fares are listed here from September through July: the calendar covers autumn, winter, spring and early summer, but not August, when the Batumi beach season peaks. Late spring and early autumn balance mild weather with calmer prices, while winter means a cold Krakow and a quiet Batumi. Midweek departures and avoiding the start and end of school breaks usually cost less. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and summer travel, and earlier if you want a specific connection, since every itinerary here changes planes.

Nothing flies this route non-stop, so the airline you pick decides where you change planes and how long the whole trip takes. The mix runs from full-service names such as LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, Austrian, Swiss, Turkish Airlines and El Al Israel Airlines to leaner operators like Air Baltic, Pegasus and Air Dolomiti. What is included varies by carrier and by fare family: on some tickets a checked bag and seat selection come with the fare, on others they are paid add-ons. Compare total journey time, the number of stops and the baggage allowance, not just the headline fare. A cheaper ticket with a long layover can end up costing more once you add a bag.

Batumi airport is the only arrival point on this route, and it sits close to the city, so the transfer into town is short whichever way you go. Taxis wait outside the terminal; agree the fare or make sure the meter is running before you set off, and keep some local currency for the ride. Buses and ride-hailing apps cover the same trip for less, though late at night the choice narrows. If you are staying along the seafront, check whether your accommodation is walkable from where the bus drops you. Krakow departures all leave from Balice, so there is no airport puzzle at the start — just leave enough time for the security queue in peak season.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your ticket leaves from Balice, the only Krakow airport serving this route.
• Confirm what the fare includes on Air Baltic, Pegasus and the other carriers, because a base ticket may not cover a checked bag.
• If a booking splits the trip across two separate tickets, leave a long buffer so a delay does not cost you the onward flight.
• Carry a passport valid well beyond your return date and check the current entry rules for Georgia.
• Compare total travel time rather than the fare alone, since every option here includes at least one connection.
• Look at April and the shoulder months first if you can move your dates.
