Cheap flights from Krakow to Bristol

November is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar covers every month from September through August, so you can compare before you commit. Winter fares outside the Christmas and New Year rush tend to sit lowest, while late spring and the summer school holidays push them up. Midweek departures are usually quieter and cheaper than Friday and Sunday flights, which matters if your dates are flexible. Book well ahead for Christmas, Easter, half-term and the summer peak, because those seats go first.

More than one carrier flies this route, and they fall into two groups. Ryanair, Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet and Jet2 are the low-cost names, where the ticket covers your seat and hand luggage and most other things are add-ons. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its regional partner KLM Cityhopper, plus German Airways, Sun Express and Pegasus, sell fares with more built in, and some of those itineraries involve a change of plane. Compare what each fare actually includes before you choose on price alone.

Bristol Airport is where you land, and it sits outside the city rather than on its edge, so the transfer into the centre is part of the trip. Buses and taxis both run from the terminal to the centre; if you arrive late in the evening, check the last departure before you commit to a flight time. Bristol Airport is the only one serving the city on this route, so you fly home from the same terminal. On the Krakow side, Balice is the city's single airport, which keeps both ends of the journey simple.
