Cheap flights from Krakow to Nice

December is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar shows fares easing through autumn before that. Summer is the opposite: the Cote d'Azur fills from June onward, and July and August are the priciest weeks to be there. Spring and early autumn are the sweet spot for weather and price. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, when weekenders travel both ways. Book a few weeks ahead for summer, and watch the run-up to Christmas, when both cities see heavy demand.

Several carriers fly between Krakow and Nice, and they fall into two groups. Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Easyjet, Ryanair and Jet2 are the low-cost names, where the fare covers the flight and extras such as bags are priced separately. LOT Polish Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, with KLM Cityhopper on some legs, are the full-service options, often routing through a hub with more included. Norwegian International and German Airways also appear on the route. On a direct flight the airline matters less than the fare rules; on a connecting one, check whether bags are through-checked and whether the connection is protected.

Flights land at Nice Cote D'Azur, the airport that serves the city, sitting on the coast a short ride west of the centre. Public transport links and taxis both run into town, and the coastal train line is the better bet if you are heading on to Antibes, Cannes or Monaco rather than staying in Nice. Allow extra time in summer, when traffic along the seafront slows to a crawl, and check which terminal you arrive at before you book a transfer.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the baggage rules before you pay, since Wizz Air, Ryanair and Easyjet price cabin and checked bags separately.
• If you book a connection on separate tickets, leave a long gap and confirm whether your bags are checked through.
• Make sure your passport or ID card is valid for the whole trip and check the entry rules for France.
• Fly in December if price matters most, and book early for July and August, when the Riviera is busiest.
• Decide between a direct flight and a cheaper connecting one before you compare, because the two are priced differently.
• Krakow's Balice is the only airport serving the city, so just check the terminal and time on your confirmation.
