Cheap flights from Krakow to Florence

December is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are flexible, aim for the run-up to Christmas rather than high summer. Fares are listed from September through July, and the pattern is familiar: late autumn and winter sit lower, while spring and the summer months climb as Tuscan holidays fill the planes. Fly midweek where you can, since midweek departures tend to undercut the weekend ones. Watch the school breaks and the Easter period, when both Krakow and Florence get busy, and remember that Italian public holidays can lift fares even when Poland is quiet.

No airline flies Krakow to Florence non-stop, so every option here is a connection. Wizz Air and Easyjet are the low-cost names you will see; Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Luxair, Helvetic Airways, Cityjet, HOP! and Nordic Regional Airlines are the network and regional carriers that operate the connecting legs. That mix decides what you get: low-cost tickets start bare and you add cabin or hold baggage and seat choice as extras, while full-service fares usually fold more into the price and keep you on a single through ticket with one check-in. On separate tickets, nothing protects you when the first leg runs late.

You land at Peretola, Florence's own airport, which sits close to the city rather than out in the countryside, so the transfer into the centre is short. Buses and taxis cover the run between the terminal and the middle of town, and the local tram is another option if you are travelling light. Because the route is connecting, check which airport your second leg uses and how much time you have between flights, since a tight change in a big hub is the usual reason a cheap itinerary turns sour. Leaving Krakow, everything goes from Balice, so there is only one departure point to plan around.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow flies from one airport only, Balice, so there is no second departure point to weigh up.
• Every itinerary here is a connection, so judge the total journey time and the layover, not just the departure time.
• On separate tickets a missed connection is your cost, so leave a long gap or book the whole trip as one ticket.
• Low-cost fares from Wizz Air or Easyjet often exclude hold baggage, so add the bag before comparing prices.
• Check that your ID or passport is valid for Italy and for every country you transit, since you cross more than one border.
• December is the cheapest month on this route, so test your dates against the price calendar before booking summer.
