Cheap flights from Krakow to Brindisi

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar shows it: fares drop once the summer crowds leave southern Italy and stay low through the quiet weeks before Christmas. September and October still give you warm sea and lower fares than July and August, the busiest and priciest months. December, January and February are cold and quiet, while May brings the first warm days back. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and booking well ahead helps when the trip involves a connection. Keep an eye on Polish and Italian public holidays, when both ends of the route fill up quickly.

Every option between Krakow and Brindisi is a connection, and the airline you pick decides how much of the journey is protected. Wizz Air and Easyjet are the low-cost names here: the fare covers a small cabin bag and little else, with checked luggage, seat choice and food costing extra, and a missed connection is on you. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, Eurowings, British Airways, Air Baltic, Turkish Airlines and HOP! are full-service carriers — one ticket, a checked bag, a meal on longer legs and a rebooking if a delay breaks the connection. When the price gap is small, the full-service ticket is the calmer buy.

Brindisi's Casale airport sits a short drive from the city centre, close enough that a bus or a taxi gets you into town in minutes rather than hours. The local bus is the usual way in and also stops near the railway station, which is handy if you are continuing along the coast. If you are heading to a beach resort or a countryside stay, arrange a transfer or a hire car before you fly, because rural services are limited and thin on the ground. Casale is a small airport, so bags arrive quickly, but late landings can mean the last buses have gone — check the timetable against your arrival time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that your ticket leaves from Krakow Balice and lands at Brindisi Casale, since these flights use no other airport in either city.
• On a low-cost fare, add checked baggage and seat selection before you pay, because it costs more at the airport.
• If your connection sits on two separate tickets, leave a long buffer — a delay on the first flight is not the second airline's problem.
• Check that your passport or ID is valid for travel to Italy and matches the name on the booking.
• Look at the price calendar for November, the cheapest month, before you lock in your dates.
• Book the whole trip on one ticket where you can, so a missed leg gets rebooked for you.
