Cheap flights from Krakow to Manila

The cheapest month on this route is April, which falls between the winter rush and the summer peak. Fares are listed for September through May and for July, so you can compare the whole season before you commit. Midweek departures tend to cost less than weekend ones, and school holidays in both countries push prices up. Book a few months ahead for spring travel, and watch fares around Christmas and the New Year, when seats to the Philippines fill quickly.

No airline flies Krakow to Manila non-stop, so every option is a connection, often two carriers stitched together. LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa handle the European legs, Turkish Airlines, Oman Air, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Fly Dubai route you through their home hubs, and Cathay Pacific offers another long-haul path. Philippine Airlines is the name you will see most often on the final stretch into Manila, while Air Serbia and Cityjet turn up on some of the shorter connecting legs. Full-service carriers normally include checked baggage in the fare, while Fly Dubai sells it separately, so compare the total cost of the trip, not just the ticket.

You land at Ninoy Aquino Intl, the airport serving the Philippine capital and the one you will see on this route. It sits inside the metro area rather than far outside it, so the drive into the centre is short in distance but slow in practice, because Manila traffic can stretch a quick hop into a long one. Taxis, ride-hailing apps and airport buses all run into town; agree the fare or insist on the meter before you set off, and be wary of drivers who approach you inside the terminal. Check which terminal your flight arrives at before you arrange a pickup, since moving between them takes time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow has a single airport, Balice, so confirm you are booking from there rather than from a neighbouring city.
• Every itinerary on this route includes at least one connection, so check the layover length and whether the legs sit on one ticket or two.
• If a low-cost carrier such as Fly Dubai is part of the trip, add checked baggage and seat selection before you compare fares.
• Check that your passport is valid well beyond your return date and that you meet the entry rules for the Philippines.
• Fares are lowest in April, so shift your dates if you can be flexible.
• On separate tickets a missed connection is your problem, not the airline's, so leave a generous buffer.
