Cheap flights from Krakow to Bogota

February is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also one of the quietest for travel between Europe and Colombia. Fares show up on the calendar from September through July, so spring and autumn departures are worth comparing before you fix your dates. Midweek flights usually cost less than Friday or Sunday ones, and the end-of-year holidays push prices up on both sides. For a long connecting trip, book a few months ahead rather than in the last weeks, and if you can be flexible, let the price calendar choose the month for you.

No carrier flies this route non-stop, so every option is a connection. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss, Air France, Finnair, Air Europa, Luxair, HOP! and Helvetic Airways are the full-service names here, and each routes you through its own hub, so the city where you change depends on the airline you choose. Wizz Air is the low-cost option, which means a lower base fare but a ticket that covers less. Compare what is actually included rather than the headline fare, and check the total time door to door, since a short hop plus a long layover can look cheaper than it really is.

You land at El Dorado, Bogota's only airport for this route, on the western side of the city. The centre is a straightforward drive away when the roads are clear, but traffic in Bogota is heavy for much of the day, so allow more time than the distance suggests. Official taxis and app-based cars are the usual way in, and it is worth arranging one before you leave the terminal rather than accepting a ride from someone who approaches you inside. The city sits high in the Andes, so take the first day slowly and drink more water than you think you need.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure airport is Balice, since that is where this route leaves from.
• Confirm whether bags are included, especially on a low-cost ticket where they are usually an add-on.
• Make sure both legs are on one ticket, because a self-transfer means collecting your bags and checking in again.
• Check passport and entry rules for Colombia well before you fly, and that your passport has enough validity left.
• Look at the price calendar before locking in dates, with February usually the cheapest month.
• Compare total journey times, not just fares, so a long layover does not turn into an extra night away.
