Cheap flights Krakow – Kittila

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is also the month when Lapland is at its coldest and darkest. Fares stay low through the winter months from September to March, with the price calendar showing the dips and spikes. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the Christmas and New Year weeks are the busiest, so book those early. If you want snow, aim for the winter; if you want light, wait for the months outside this window.

No airline flies Krakow to Kittila non-stop, so every option here is a connecting one. Finnair and its regional partner Nordic Regional Airlines feed the Finnish end through Helsinki, which keeps the last leg short. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air Dolomiti are full-service carriers: fares usually include a checked bag, and rebooking is handled through the connection. Easyjet and Eurowings sell low-cost seats, where the base ticket covers a cabin bag only and extras are added at booking. Mixing a low-cost leg with a full-service one works, but check that both tickets sit in the same booking.

Kittila airport is the only one serving the destination, and it is a small Lapland field rather than a big hub, so you walk off the plane and out quickly. The village centre is a short transfer away, and taxis and shuttle buses meet the winter arrivals; some hotels and ski resorts run their own pickups, which you arrange before you fly. If you plan to drive, arrange a car before you arrive, and expect snowy, dark roads in the middle of winter. There is no second airport to confuse you here, but do check your connection, since you will arrive on a domestic Finnish leg.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the connection airport and the layover length, because no airline flies this route non-stop.
• Confirm what your fare includes, since low-cost tickets on this route charge separately for a checked bag.
• Buy the whole trip on one ticket where you can, so a missed connection is the airline's problem, not yours.
• Carry a passport or identity card that Finland accepts, and check whether you need a visa.
• Fly in February for the lowest fares, and book early if you travel over Christmas or New Year.
• Watch the return legs in March, when seats fill with skiers heading home.
