Cheap flights from Krakow to Helsinki

November is the month when fares on this route tend to sit at their lowest, and the price calendar here shows how the rest of the year compares. Late autumn and the dark weeks before Christmas are quiet, while June and July fill up with summer travel and the fares follow. Midweek departures on a Tuesday or Wednesday usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, when weekenders and business travellers compete for the same seats. Around Christmas, New Year and Finnish Midsummer, book well ahead, because those dates sell out early and the cheap seats go first.

You can fly this route non-stop, or connect through a hub if the timing or the fare suits you better. Norwegian and Wizz Air are the low-cost names in the mix, so check what the fare includes and add your bag and seat before you compare totals. Finnair, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines are the full-service carriers, and their tickets tend to include more, though the details depend on the fare you choose. Nordic Regional Airlines and Cityjet fly some legs as partner operators, so the airline on your ticket may not be the one painted on the aircraft.

Your flight lands at Helsinki-Vantaa, the airport that serves the Finnish capital, set outside the city to the north. Trains and buses both run between the airport and the centre, and the train is usually the easiest option if you are travelling light, while a taxi is quicker door to door and costs more. Coming back, give yourself extra room in the morning and evening peaks, when the roads and the security queues are at their busiest. If you are connecting onward in Finland, check whether your next flight leaves from the same terminal.
