Cheap flights from Krakow to Pisa

November is the cheapest month on this route, and it makes sense: the summer crowds have gone, Tuscan weather is still mild, and fares follow. The price calendar runs from September right through to the following September, so you can weigh autumn, winter, spring and summer side by side. Spring and early summer cost more, and so do the weeks around Christmas and New Year, when people travel home in both directions. Midweek departures are usually quieter than Friday and Sunday, when weekend breaks push fares up. Book a few weeks ahead in the low season, and earlier than that for the warm months.

The airline mix here splits between low-cost and full-service. Ryanair, Wizz Air and Easyjet are the low-cost names, and what's included differs sharply: those fares are usually seat-only, with cabin and hold bags, seat choice and refreshments added at checkout. Lufthansa, KLM Cityhopper, Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian and Norwegian International fly full-service, mostly on connecting itineraries through their home hubs, and those tickets normally include a checked bag. German Airways and Mokulele Flight Service also appear among the carriers on this route. Direct flights exist, so check which airline operates the non-stop leg on your date before you compare totals.

You land at Galileo Galilei, Pisa's airport, which sits close to the city, so the transfer into town is short whichever way you go. A shuttle train runs to Pisa's central station, local buses cover the same ground, and taxis wait outside arrivals. From that station, Florence, Lucca and the coast are within easy reach by train, which is why plenty of travellers treat Pisa as a gateway rather than a final stop. Watch the clock on late arrivals: the shuttle and buses thin out in the evening, and a taxi becomes the practical option. If you are staying in the historic centre, you can often walk from the station with your bag.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the departure airport on your ticket, since Krakow flies to Pisa from Balice.
• On low-cost fares, price the cabin bag and any hold luggage before you compare totals.
• If your itinerary connects, keep both legs on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry a travel document that is valid for Italy and for the whole length of your stay.
• Look at November first if price matters, and check the calendar for the weeks around Christmas.
• Leave extra time at Galileo Galilei on the way home, as Pisa's airport gets busy in summer.
