Cheap flights from Krakow to Malaga

December is the cheapest month on this route, so start your search there if your dates are flexible. Summer is the busiest stretch, when families fill the direct flights and fares climb, while spring and autumn sit in between with warm days and thinner crowds. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the days around Christmas, New Year and the Polish school holidays are the first to get expensive. Prices are shown for every month of the year here, so you can see the shape of the season before you commit.

Low-cost carriers do most of the work on this route: Wizz Air, Ryanair, Wizz Air Malta and Jet2 sell a seat and little else, with bags and seat choice charged on top. Norwegian and Norwegian International sit in the middle, and Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, German Airways and LOT Polish Airlines are the full-service names, where a checked bag and a drink are usually part of the fare. Whether your departure is non-stop or connects through a hub depends on the airline and the day, so read the itinerary rather than the airline name. On the low-cost tickets, add up what you actually need before you compare totals.

Malaga airport handles this route, and it sits close enough to the city that the transfer is a short hop rather than a journey. The local train and the airport bus are the usual ways into the centre, with taxis outside the arrivals hall if you land late. Krakow's Balice airport is the departure point, and it is the city's only airport, so there is no second one to confuse it with. In summer, allow extra time on both ends: the airport gets busy, and so do the roads along the coast.
