Cheap flights from Krakow to Mostar

March is the cheapest month on this route, and it also happens to be a quiet time in Herzegovina before the summer rush. Spring and early autumn are the comfortable window: April, May, September and October give you mild weather in Mostar without the midsummer heat, and fares are still reasonable. The calendar also carries fares for November, December, June and July, so you can see what the busy season really costs. Midweek departures tend to be cheaper than Friday or Sunday flights, and connections are thinner in winter. Book a few weeks ahead for spring travel and earlier if your dates fall around a public holiday.

The airlines selling this route are Air Serbia, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Helvetic Airways, Air Baltic, Air Dolomiti, Austrian, Swiss and LOT Polish Airlines. None of them fly it non-stop, so every option involves a connection, and the mix is mostly full-service carriers such as Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, KLM and LOT, with regional arms like Air Dolomiti and Helvetic Airways feeding the bigger networks. Air Serbia and Air Baltic sit somewhere in between, with leaner fares and extras charged separately. What you get in the fare varies by ticket type rather than by brand, so read the baggage and change rules on the option you pick.

Mostar airport serves the city itself, which keeps the last leg simple: a taxi or a pre-booked transfer is the usual way in, and the ride to the centre is short. Public transport from the airport is limited, so arrange your ride before you land if you are arriving in the evening. Because the airport is small, schedules are thin and a delayed connection can leave you waiting, so build some slack into your plans. If a connection drops you somewhere else in the region, work out how you would reach Mostar overland before you book. On the Krakow side, Balice is the city's airport, so there is no doubt about where you leave from.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that you leave from Balice in Krakow and land at Mostar, since every option on this route connects somewhere in between.
• Read the baggage rules for the exact fare you choose, because what is included changes with the ticket type, not the airline name.
• If you book the legs separately, leave a long gap between them so a delay on the first flight does not cost you the second.
• Check which document you need for Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it stays valid for the whole trip.
• Book early for spring and summer dates, and aim for March if the lowest fare matters most to you.
• Sort out your transfer from Mostar airport before you land, as the airport is small and options are limited.
