Cheap flights from Krakow to Olbia

October is the cheapest month for this route, and the fares usually stay low through November before the winter lull. September is still warm and busy with late-summer travellers, while December brings Christmas traffic and higher fares around the holidays. Summer is the peak: July and August are when Italians take their own holidays and Sardinia's ferries and hotels fill up, so book well ahead if you must travel then. Midweek departures, Tuesday through Thursday, tend to cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. If your dates are flexible, aim for October or the shoulder weeks around it, and book a couple of months ahead; for summer travel, earlier is safer.

No airline flies Krakow to Olbia non-stop, so every option here is a connecting one. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Ryanair and Easyjet keep the fare low and charge extra for almost everything beyond a small cabin bag. KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa and its Cityline partner, Air Dolomiti, British Airways and Air Baltic sell through fares with a checked bag and a protected connection, which matters if a delay would leave you stranded. If you book the legs separately to save money, you carry the risk yourself: a missed connection on two tickets is your problem, not the airline's. Compare the total with bags and seat selection added, not just the headline fare.

You land at Olbia Costa Smeralda, the island's main airport on the northeast coast, a short drive south of the town centre and the ferry port. Buses run between the terminal and Olbia in season, taxis wait outside arrivals, and the car rental desks sit a short walk from the baggage hall; a car is the easy way to reach the Costa Smeralda resorts, which are further up the coast. In summer the roads and the terminal get busy, so leave room in your plans if you are heading straight to a hotel. If your connection was on separate tickets, collect your bag and clear arrivals before you head into town.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate tickets mean you collect your bag and check in again.
• Low-cost fares from Wizz Air, Ryanair and Easyjet include a small cabin bag only, so add checked luggage before you pay.
• Confirm your passport or ID is valid for Italy and for the country where you change planes.
• Book October if you want the lowest fares, and avoid the summer peak unless your dates are fixed.
• Check the layover length: a short connection works on one ticket and is risky on two.
• Balice is the only airport in Krakow, so leave time for the drive to the terminal before an early departure.
