Cheap flights from Krakow to New Orleans

April is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the one to aim for if your dates are flexible. Fares are listed for September, October, November, December, February, March and April, so the page shows you which of those weeks drops. Summer and the run-up to the winter holidays are the expensive stretch, and Mardi Gras in New Orleans fills hotels and pushes airfare up with it. Midweek departures from Krakow tend to be quieter than Friday and Sunday, and a Tuesday or Wednesday flight usually gives you more connection options through the European hubs.

There are no non-stop flights between Krakow and New Orleans, so every option here is a connecting one. The carriers on the route are British Airways, Finnair, KLM Cityhopper, Turkish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Cityjet, Nordic Regional Airlines, Braathens Regional Aviation and Helvetic Airways. That is a full-service and regional mix rather than a low-cost lineup, so baggage and seat rules depend on the fare family you pick, not on a single budget template. Expect a change of plane in a European hub, and check whether the legs are on one ticket or two.

You land at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, the airport that serves the city, west of downtown. Getting to the centre takes time in traffic, and the usual choices are a taxi, a rideshare, a shared shuttle or a hotel transfer. Allow extra room on the way back, since the airport sits on the far side of town from most hotels and the highway slows down at rush hour. On the Krakow end you fly out of Balice, so leave time for the transfer across the city before your first leg.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm the departure airport in Krakow is Balice before you pay.
• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two, since separate tickets mean re-checking bags.
• Read the baggage rules for each leg, as the lightest fares may not include a checked bag.
• Make sure your passport and US entry authorisation are valid before you fly.
• Book early for April, the cheapest month, and compare it with the other months in the price calendar.
• Leave a buffer at the connection airport, because a missed second leg is harder to fix on separate tickets.
