Cheap flights from Krakow to Leipzig/Halle

January is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the fares published for September, October, November and December usually sit just above it. Winter is the quiet season between Poland and Germany, but the run-up to Christmas and the days around New Year fill planes, so those dates need booking well ahead. May is the other month with fares on the calendar, and it lands in the middle: milder weather, more demand. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures are usually calmer and cheaper than Friday and Sunday, when people travel home.

Nothing on this route flies nonstop, so every option is a connection, and the airline you choose decides where you change and what your ticket covers. Lufthansa, Austrian, LOT Polish Airlines and Brussels Airlines are the full-service names on the list, and booking the whole trip on one of their tickets keeps the connection in the airline's hands. Pegasus and Sun Express are the low-cost and leisure carriers, where the fare buys a seat and extras cost more. Air Dolomiti, Helvetic Airways, Braathens Regional Aviation and Air Baltic operate regional or partner legs, so read the itinerary carefully to see who actually flies each part.

Leipzig/Halle airport is the one arrival point for both cities, so work out whether you are heading to Leipzig or to Halle before you book onward transport — they are separate places, and the airport sits between them. The airport has its own station, with trains into both centres, plus buses and a taxi rank at arrivals. If you land in the evening, check the last train before you commit to a late connection, and give yourself room after a change of planes in case the first leg runs late. Both cities are compact once you are in, so the transfer is usually the only logistics you need to think about.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the connection time, not just the total journey, because this route always involves a change of planes.
• Confirm whether both legs sit on one ticket or two — on separate tickets a missed connection is your problem, not the airline's.
• Look at what the fare includes for hold baggage, especially with the low-cost carriers on this route.
• Krakow is served by Balice, so make sure the airport on your ticket is the one you are flying from.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for travel to Germany, and use the same document you booked with.
• Compare January against May and the autumn months on the price calendar before you fix your dates.
