Cheap flights from Krakow to Harstad/Narvik

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar runs from September through July, so you can compare shoulder weeks before you commit. Autumn fares are the calmest. Winter and the northern summer are when demand climbs, and school holidays in Poland and Norway lift connecting fares on every carrier. Midweek departures usually price lower than Friday or Sunday flights, and a long layover is often what makes a cheap connection cheap. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel, and earlier still if you want to fly around Christmas or New Year.

The airline mix here is wide, and every one of them sells a connecting itinerary, because nothing flies nonstop from Krakow to Harstad. You will see LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Austrian, Swiss, Brussels Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian International, Norwegian and Helvetic Airways in the results. Norwegian is the low-cost name in that group, so its base fare looks small until baggage and seat selection are added — check what the fare includes before you compare totals. Full-service carriers usually fold a checked bag into the ticket, and a single through-ticket keeps you covered if a connection slips.

Harstad airport is the arrival point for both Harstad and Narvik, and the two towns sit a fair way apart, so decide which one you are actually heading to before you arrange the transfer. From the terminal you reach either by bus or by taxi, and car hire is worth booking ahead if you plan to drive in this spread-out country. On the Krakow side, Balice is the only airport, so there is no second one to confuse it with — allow time for the run into the city before an early departure. Check whether your bags are tagged through to the final airport or only to the connecting hub, since on separate tickets you collect and re-check them yourself.
