Cheap flights from Krakow to Denver

June is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares tracked for September through December and again from March to May usually sit higher. Late spring and early autumn suit both cities: Krakow is pleasant to walk before the summer crowds arrive, and the mountains around Denver are still clear of heavy snow. Weekday departures are generally kinder to your budget than weekend ones. Skip the weeks around Christmas and New Year, when transatlantic seats sell out early, and book well ahead if you want to fly in June or during the summer holidays.

No airline flies this route nonstop, and the carriers that appear on it are network airlines rather than low-cost ones: LOT Polish Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, KLM Cityhopper, Turkish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Austrian, Swiss, Cityjet and Nordic Regional Airlines. Each of them routes you through its own hub, so the connection, not the first leg, is what separates one itinerary from another. Because these are full-service carriers, the fare you choose matters as much as the airline — what comes with the ticket, from cabin bag to checked luggage, depends on the fare family, so read the details before you compare.

Denver International sits well out on the plains east of the city, so the run into downtown takes a good while; keep that in mind if you land late or plan a tight onward connection. The airport train reaches Union Station in the centre, which is the simplest way in when you travel light, while buses, taxis and ride-hailing cars cover the same trip for more. Denver sits high above sea level, so take the first day gently after flying in from Krakow. Winter weather can hold up arrivals and departures, and the terminals are spread out enough that changing concourses eats time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you are flying out of Balice, the only airport serving Krakow.
• With no nonstop flights, look closely at where you change and how long the layover is in winter.
• If the legs come on separate tickets, a missed connection and your bags are your problem, not the airline's.
• Confirm what the fare includes, because hand-baggage tickets and full-fare ones look alike until you add luggage.
• Sort your United States entry documents before you book, since you cannot board without them.
• If your dates are flexible, aim at June and steer clear of the Christmas and summer peaks.
