Cheap flights from Krakow to Leeds

October comes out cheapest for this route in the fare data on this page, and the months on either side of it, September and November, often sit close behind. Summer and the Christmas period are when seats go first, so if your dates are fixed to then, book earlier and stay flexible about the day you fly. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, which is when weekend trips to Leeds and visits back to Krakow tend to cluster. Check the school breaks in both countries before you settle on a week.

Ryanair, Wizz Air, Easyjet and Jet2 fly this route direct, which keeps the journey short and the timetable easy to read. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, LOT Polish Airlines, Swiss, HOP! and Sun Express sell connecting itineraries instead, so your trip runs through another airport and takes longer door to door. Low-cost fares on the direct flights tend to price hand luggage only, with anything checked added at booking, while the full-service carriers fold more into the ticket. Compare the total you would actually pay, not just the headline seat.

You land at Leeds/Bradford, the airport that serves both Leeds and neighbouring Bradford, and it sits outside the city rather than in it. The usual ways into town are the bus, a taxi or a pre-booked transfer, and the ride drops you in the centre rather than at a station under the terminal. Give yourself room on the way back, because this is a smaller airport than the big hubs and the early departures bunch up at security. If you are carrying on into Yorkshire or over to the coast, sort your onward connection before you fly rather than after you land.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow departures all leave from Balice, so check your terminal and leave time for the drive from the centre.
• On Ryanair, Wizz Air, Easyjet and Jet2 fares, confirm what hand luggage is included before you add a checked bag.
• If you book a connecting itinerary with KLM, LOT, Swiss or HOP!, make sure both legs sit on one ticket.
• Travelling on a Polish or other non-British passport, check the current entry rules for the United Kingdom before you book.
• Compare a Tuesday or Wednesday departure with the weekend dates you actually want, because the gap is often the whole point.
• Book early for summer and the Christmas period, and look at October if your dates are still open.
