Cheap flights from Krakow to Gothenburg

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers most months of the year, so you can compare before you commit. Late autumn and winter are quieter, while summer and the run-up to Christmas push fares up as people travel between Poland and Sweden. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, so shift your dates by a day if you can. For winter trips, booking a few weeks ahead is usually enough; for the summer peak, start earlier.

Several carriers serve this route. Ryanair is the low-cost option, and its fares are built up from extras rather than included in the ticket. LOT Polish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Finnair, Norwegian International, Nordic Regional Airlines, German Airways, Air Serbia and Cityjet fly the route as full-service or regional operators, and most of their schedules mean a connection through a hub rather than a direct flight to Landvetter. What you get for the money differs between the two kinds of ticket, so read the fare rules before you pick. If your trip involves a change of plane, check whether both legs sit on one ticket.

Gothenburg's airport is Landvetter, which sits outside the city, so plan the transfer rather than expecting a walk into town. Airport coaches link the terminal with the centre, and taxis and rental cars wait outside arrivals; the coach is what most people take. If you land late in the evening, check the last coach of the day before you fly, and have a payment card ready for the ticket. On the Krakow side, Balice is the city's airport, so there is no risk of turning up at the wrong one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm your departure airport and terminal on the booking, since Krakow's flights leave from Balice.
• If you book a low-cost fare, decide on cabin and checked baggage before you pay rather than sorting it at the airport.
• On connecting itineraries, check whether both legs are on one ticket, so a delay on the first flight does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a valid passport or national identity card for Sweden and check the entry rules that apply to you.
• Compare October fares against the summer months before you fix your dates, because the gap can be wide.
• Leave yourself room between flights if you change planes, and avoid tight transfers at busy hubs.
