Cheap flights from Krakow to Corfu

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it is easy to see why: the summer rush is over, the sea is still warm, and seats are easier to find. September and early November sit close behind, while June, July and August are peak and priced like it. Winter months keep a thin schedule, mostly through hubs, and the Greek Easter and the Polish long weekends in May fill planes fast. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday. Book early for summer, and late for autumn.

Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost names you will see most often on this route, and Easyjet joins them on some summer dates. Aegean Airlines, Air Serbia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa Cityline, Eurowings and Helvetic Airways are the full-service and regional options, and they usually mean a connection rather than a straight hop. On a low-cost ticket you pay for a cabin bag separately and get no food; on the full-service carriers a checked bag and a drink are normally part of the fare. Connecting itineraries through a hub add time but can be cheaper outside summer.

Corfu's airport, I Kapodistrias, sits a short drive from Corfu Town, close enough that a taxi or the local bus into the centre takes only a few minutes. If you are heading to the resorts along the coast, the transfer is longer, and the bus network thins out in the evening. Taxis are metered but the queue at peak arrivals can be long, so pre-booked transfers are worth considering. In summer the airport gets busy, and baggage can take a while; keep that in mind if you land late.
