Cheap flights from Krakow to Mauritius

April is the cheapest month for this route, and it sits in the middle of the price calendar between the European winter and the summer rush. Fares climb through the Polish school holidays in July and August and again around Christmas and the New Year, when everyone flies south. Flying out midweek, Tuesday or Wednesday, usually costs less than a Friday or Saturday departure. Book a few months ahead for April, and check the calendar month by month — the gap between the dear months and April is worth chasing.

Nobody flies Krakow to Mauritius non-stop, so every airline here is selling a connection. Lufthansa, Swiss and KLM Cityhopper are full-service carriers that route you through their own hubs, with checked baggage usually included in the fare. Etihad Airways and Fly Dubai cover the Gulf end of the trip, and their lighter fares often charge separately for a checked bag. Lufthansa Cityline, Helvetic Airways, HOP!, Hahn Air and Braathens Regional Aviation tend to show up on the shorter legs of a longer itinerary. Compare what each fare includes before you choose on fare alone.

You land at Sir S. Ramgoolam International, the island's main gateway and the only airport on the Mauritius side of this route. It is not a city-centre airport, so nobody walks out of arrivals into town — you take a taxi, a pre-booked hotel transfer or a local bus, and the drive depends on which coast you are staying on. Allow time for immigration and for the transfer itself, especially if you arrive on an evening flight. Have your accommodation address ready for the driver.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that you fly from Balice, Krakow's only airport, before you book the transfer to the terminal.
• Check what your fare includes for checked baggage, especially on the lighter Gulf carrier tickets.
• Make sure a connecting itinerary is sold on one ticket, or leave a long gap if you book the legs separately.
• Check passport validity and the entry rules for Mauritius well before you fly.
• Use the price calendar: April is the cheapest month, and summer and Christmas dates cost more.
• Look at the layover length — a tight connection through a big hub is the weak point of this route.
