Cheap flights from Krakow to Diyarbakir

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares shown on this page come from the months that actually have data: September through December, plus February and March. Late autumn and winter are quieter, and the summer heat in Diyarbakir peaks in the middle of the year, so spring and autumn are the easier months to travel. Midweek departures often price lower than weekend ones, when people working in Europe fly home. Avoid the Christmas and New Year weeks, and check the Ramadan and Kurban Bayrami dates before you fix your plans, because Turkish domestic traffic fills up around them.

No airline flies Krakow to Diyarbakir non-stop, so every option is a connection. Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa and Austrian are the full-service names here, and they sell the trip as one ticket, which means a missed connection is their problem rather than yours. Pegasus and Sun Express are the low-cost choices, usually routed through Turkey, with fares that rise once you add bags or a seat. LOT Polish Airlines and Air Dolomiti usually fly the first leg out of Balice and feed a hub where you change. Compare the total with bags included, and check whether the connection is on one ticket or two.

Diyarbakir Airport is the only airport serving the city, and it sits outside the built-up area rather than in the middle of it, so plan on a road transfer at the end of your trip. Taxis wait outside arrivals, and shuttle buses and shared minibuses run towards the centre and the bus station; agree the fare before you set off if no meter is used. If your connection lands late at night, arrange a transfer in advance or check that a bus still runs, because options thin out after the last arrival. The terminal is small, so bags tend to come out quickly, but there is not much to do there if you face a long wait before your onward ride.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your first leg leaves from Balice, the only airport in Krakow.
• Confirm whether the whole trip is on one ticket or two bookings, because a self-transfer leaves you carrying the risk of a missed connection.
• Read the baggage rules on the low-cost fares, since a cheap ticket with no checked bag can end up costing more than a full-service one.
• Check the passport and visa rules for Turkey well before you fly.
• Fix your month before you book — October is the cheapest here, and the price calendar shows which months have fares.
• Book early if your dates fall on a Turkish public holiday, when domestic flights fill up.
