Cheap flights from Krakow to Biarritz

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares shown for September and November sit close behind it. Late autumn and winter are quiet on the Polish side, so midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones. July is the other month with prices on the calendar, and it is the expensive one: school holidays in both countries push connecting fares up, and the same happens around Christmas and New Year, when everyone flies home. Book a few weeks ahead for autumn and winter trips; for July, start looking much earlier, because the cheap seats on the long legs go first.

No airline flies Krakow to Biarritz non-stop, so every option here is a connection, and where you change planes depends on the airline you pick. Wizz Air and Easyjet are the low-cost names on the route: the fare is low, but a checked bag, a seat choice and sometimes a cabin bag cost extra, and the legs may be sold separately. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France and its regional partner HOP!, Lufthansa, Swiss, Air Baltic, Air Dolomiti and Helvetic Airways are full-service, so baggage is normally included and a missed connection on a single ticket is theirs to fix. Compare the total, not the headline fare.

You land at Biarritz Pays Basque, the airport that serves Biarritz and the surrounding Basque coast of France. It is a compact airport, a short ride from the centre of Biarritz, so the transfer is quick once you are through. Buses and taxis cover the run into town, and car hire desks are on site if you want to explore the coast at your own pace. Two things to watch: the airport gets quiet outside the summer months, so late arrivals may find fewer buses and taxis, and if your itinerary changes planes, make sure your bags are checked all the way to Biarritz before you leave Krakow.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you are flying out of Balice, since Krakow has no second airport to fall back on.
• On Wizz Air and Easyjet, add the cost of a checked bag and a seat before you compare fares.
• If the two legs are booked separately, leave a long gap, because a delay on the first flight is your risk, not the airline's.
• Carry a valid passport or ID card for France and check it covers the whole trip.
• Look closely at the connection time, since Krakow to Biarritz has no non-stop option.
• Book early for July and the winter holidays, and keep October in mind if your dates are flexible.
