Cheap flights from Krakow to Mombasa

September is the cheapest month on this route, so start your comparison there. Fares are listed for most months from September through July, which lets you weigh a late-autumn trip against a winter escape or a summer one before you commit. Midweek departures from Balice usually cost less than weekend ones, and the gap widens around Polish school breaks and the Christmas and New Year period. Book a few months ahead for the winter months, when demand from Europe to the Kenyan coast runs highest.

No airline flies Krakow to Mombasa non-stop, so every option here is a connecting itinerary and the mix is broad. Wizz Air Malta is the low-cost name in the list, and its base fare covers the least, so add bags and seats as you book and watch the total. Full-service names such as Turkish Airlines, Etihad Airways, Fly Dubai, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Austrian normally fold more into the ticket, but what is included still varies by fare type. Regional carriers like Braathens Regional Aviation, Helvetic Airways and HOP! can appear on part of the trip, so check whether everything sits on one ticket.

Flights land at Moi International, the airport that serves Mombasa, on the mainland side of the city. It sits close to the centre, so the transfer is a short drive rather than a journey of its own, though traffic on the bridges over to the island can stretch it at busy times. Taxis and app-based rides wait outside arrivals; agree the fare or check the app before you get in. If you are going straight on to the coast north or south of the city, book the transfer in advance rather than sorting it out at the kerb after a long flight.

• On Wizz Air Malta, check what the base fare covers before you add bags, because the extras change the total.
• If your trip is split across separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights so one delay does not cost you the next leg.
• Check Kenya's entry rules, including visa and any health requirements, well before you fly.
• Compare your dates with September, the cheapest month on this route, before you commit.
• Confirm whether the country where you change planes needs a transit visa.
