Cheap flights from Krakow to Luanda

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the one to aim for if your dates can move. Fares also appear for September, October, December, January and April, so compare those weeks before you lock anything in. December and January bring the holiday rush in both Poland and Angola and seats go early, which means booking further ahead. Midweek departures from Balice are usually quieter than Friday and Sunday, and a longer connection often costs less than a tight one. On a route with no nonstop option, the total journey time matters as much as the fare.

Every itinerary on this route connects, so the airline you choose decides where you change and how long you wait. Turkish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Finnair and Aegean Airlines are the full-service names here, and they sell the whole trip on one ticket. Fly Dubai is the low-cost carrier in the mix, and HOP! and Air Dolomiti are the smaller regional names, so check who actually operates each leg. On one ticket the airline looks after you when a leg is delayed; on two separate tickets that risk is yours. Compare what each fare includes before you pick, because the lowest headline is rarely the cheapest trip.

Luanda has one international airport, Quatro de Fevereiro, and it sits close to the city centre, so the transfer is a short drive rather than a long haul out of town. Taxis and pre-booked transfers are the usual way in; agree the fare or book through your hotel before you land, because meters are not standard. Traffic in the capital can be heavy at peak times, so leave room in your plans if you are heading straight to a meeting. Keep your onward address and a printed booking to hand at arrivals, and check entry requirements for Angola, including visa and vaccination rules, well before you fly, as they can take time to sort out.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow has one airport, Balice, so there is no departure airport to choose; just confirm your terminal on the ticket.
• Check whether your itinerary is one ticket or two, because a missed connection on separate tickets is your problem, not the airline's.
• Read the baggage allowance on the exact fare you pick, especially if a low-cost leg is part of the trip.
• Sort out Angola's entry rules, visa and vaccination requirements, well before departure.
• Compare November fares against the other months before you fix your dates.
• Look at total journey time as well as the fare, since every option here involves at least one stop.
