Cheap flights from Krakow to Nuremberg

Fares on this route appear on the calendar from September through May, and March is the month where they sit lowest. That matches the shape of the route: late winter and early spring are quiet, while the weeks around Christmas and the spring holidays fill planes with people travelling between Poland and Bavaria. If your dates are loose, compare a midweek departure with a weekend one; the gap is often worth moving for. For holiday weeks, book a few weeks ahead. For ordinary weeks in autumn or late winter, waiting a little usually costs nothing.

Every option on this route is a connecting one. Lufthansa and its regional arm Lufthansa Cityline connect through Germany, and Air Dolomiti and German Airways turn up on the same kind of itineraries. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and KLM Cityhopper feed through Amsterdam, while Air France goes by way of Paris. Aegean Airlines and Pegasus take longer paths through Athens and Istanbul. Wizz Air is the low-cost name on the list, and low-cost means the fare covers a seat and a small bag, with checked luggage, seat choice and food as add-ons. On full-service tickets the hold bag and the connection usually sit in one booking, so a delay on the first leg is the airline's problem rather than yours.

Nuremberg Airport sits a short ride from the centre, and the metro is the usual way in: it drops you near the main railway station, where regional trains and buses meet. A taxi is the easy option if you land late or carry a lot. Because your trip involves a change, keep an eye on which hub you are changing at and how long the layover is, since a tight connection in a large airport is where these journeys usually go wrong. If your bags are checked through, you can head straight into town; if you booked the legs separately, collect them first.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your first leg leaves from Balice, the airport that serves Krakow.
• Look at what the low-cost fare includes, because a Wizz Air ticket covers less than a Lufthansa one.
• If you are booking the legs separately, leave a long gap between them so a delay does not cost you the second flight.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for Germany and carries the name on your ticket.
• Remember that March is the cheapest month here, so shift your dates if the fare looks high.
• Confirm which hub you change at and whether the bags go straight through to Nuremberg.
