Cheap flights from Krakow to Mumbai

October is the cheapest month to fly from Krakow to Mumbai, and it opens a long, low-priced window: the calendar runs from September through April, so autumn and winter are where the cheaper fares sit. The summer months fall outside that window, which says something about demand. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the weeks around the New Year are the priciest part of the winter. Book a few weeks ahead for October, and look at November and January if you want quieter airports at both ends.

Ten airlines sell tickets on this route, and every one of them means a connection. Air Arabia, Pegasus and Fly Dubai are the low-cost names; their fares are built around paying for extras separately, so check what is actually included before you judge the total. Finnair, Scandinavian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Austrian, Turkish Airlines and Brussels Airlines are the full-service carriers, and those tickets more often come with a checked bag and a through-checked connection. On separate tickets, the connection is yours to manage.

Flights land at Chhatrapati S Maharaj, Mumbai's airport, which sits north of the city centre rather than in it. The drive in takes a while and traffic can stretch it further, so build that into the day you land. Prepaid taxi counters inside the terminal, app-based cabs and the suburban rail and metro links are the usual ways into town. Keep your booking confirmation and your onward address to hand, and if you land late at night, sort the transfer before you fly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow flies from Balice, so there is no airport choice at the departure end — check your connection airport instead.
• On low-cost tickets from Air Arabia, Pegasus or Fly Dubai, confirm what the fare includes for checked baggage.
• If you book the two legs on separate tickets, leave a generous gap and be ready to cover a missed connection yourself.
• Check India's entry rules for your passport well before booking, since visa processing takes time.
• Start with October in the price calendar, then compare the other months from September to April.
