Cheap flights from Krakow to Brussels

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the weeks either side of it, from late autumn into winter, stay quieter than the summer rush. Fares climb in the run-up to Christmas and around Easter, when people fly home to family and school breaks line up in both Poland and Belgium. Midweek departures on a Tuesday or Wednesday usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and early morning or late evening connections are often the ones left at lower fares. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and summer, and further out if you are travelling over the holidays, because seats on the connecting legs fill up first.

There are no non-stop flights between Krakow and Brussels, so every option is a connecting itinerary. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names on the route, and their fares are hand baggage only unless you pay to add a checked bag, a seat or priority boarding. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Scandinavian Airlines, Swiss, Norwegian International, German Airways and Air Serbia are the full-service carriers, where a checked bag and food are normally part of the ticket. Connections are made through the home hub of whichever airline you pick, so total travel time and layover length vary between carriers — check the connection before you compare fares.

Brussels Airport is the arrival point for this route, and it lies outside the city rather than in it, so you need a transfer after landing. The airport has its own station, which makes the train the straightforward way into the centre, with buses and taxis as the alternatives if you land late or carry a lot of luggage. Check which Brussels station your onward plans need, since the city has more than one, and keep an eye on the time if you arrive on an evening flight, when onward connections get thinner. If you are connecting in Brussels rather than staying, follow the transfer signs rather than exiting through arrivals.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that your ticket leaves from Balice, the airport serving Krakow, and not from another city.
• Every itinerary on this route connects, so check the layover length and whether both legs sit on one ticket.
• On Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, add a checked bag and a seat when you book if you need them, since the fare covers hand luggage only.
• Check the entry rules for Belgium and that your passport or identity card stays valid for the whole trip.
• If you travel in November, the cheapest month for this route, expect fewer departure times to choose from.
• Where you can, book both legs on one ticket so a missed connection is handled by the airline rather than by you.
