Cheap flights from Krakow to Malta

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the weeks around it, late autumn and the start of winter, usually hold the lowest fares. Summer is peak: July and August bring the highest demand, so book well ahead if you want to travel then. Spring and early autumn are the sweet spot for weather and price. Midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights. Maltese public holidays and the Easter period push prices up, as do Polish school breaks.

Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost names you will see most often on this route, with Wizz Air Malta also flying it. Low-cost fares keep the ticket small but charge extra for checked bags, seat choice and sometimes cabin luggage. Full-service carriers such as Austrian, Swiss, Air Dolomiti, Air Serbia, Norwegian and Helvetic Airways usually mean a connection through a hub, with a bag and a snack included. Mokulele Flight Service also appears in the mix. Compare what each fare actually includes before you pick the lowest fare.

Malta International Airport sits at Luqa, a short drive from Valletta and within easy reach of most of the island's resort towns. The terminal is small enough to walk through quickly, and buses run from it to Valletta and the main coastal areas, though the journey can take a while in traffic. A taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the quicker option, especially if you land late. Malta drives on the left, and summer arrivals often mean long queues at passport control.
