Cheap flights from Krakow to Buenos Aires

May is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers every month from September through July, so you can compare the whole year before you commit. Argentina sits below the equator, so its summer falls in the European winter, which is when Buenos Aires fills up and fares rise. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the weeks around Christmas, New Year and Easter push fares up. Book a few months ahead for the long-haul legs, because seats on connecting itineraries get expensive close in.

No airline flies Krakow to Buenos Aires non-stop, so every itinerary on this route is a connection, and the carrier you choose decides where you change planes. Turkish Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France are the full-service names here, with KLM Cityhopper, HOP! and Nordic Regional Airlines often operating the short first leg. Finnair and Fly Dubai add more connection options, while Easyjet is the low-cost piece of the picture: a cabin bag is usually included, a checked bag and seat selection cost extra. When the legs are sold separately, each ticket carries its own baggage rules.

Buenos Aires has two airports and your ticket will name only one of them. Jorge Newbery sits close to the centre, a short ride from the neighbourhoods most visitors stay in, and it handles many regional arrivals. Pistarini, also called Ezeiza, is well outside the city, and the drive in takes considerably longer, so plan for it. Taxis, remises and shuttle buses run from both. At Pistarini the official taxi desk inside the terminal is a safer bet than a driver who approaches you in the hall. Check the airport code on your confirmation before you arrange a transfer.
