Cheap flights from Krakow to Praslin Island

September is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar on this page shows fares for September through February and again for May, so you can line up a winter escape or a spring trip. Fares climb over the Christmas and New Year period and during Polish school holidays, when families from Krakow head for warm water. Midweek departures on Tuesday and Wednesday usually undercut Friday and Saturday, and booking a few months ahead helps on a long-haul route where the cheap seats go first. If your dates are flexible, compare a September departure with an October one before you commit.

Almost every airline on this route is a full-service network carrier, so expect connections rather than a point-to-point hop. LOT Polish Airlines is the home carrier and the obvious first place to look from Krakow, and Lufthansa, Austrian, Finnair, Scandinavian Airlines and Aegean Airlines all feed the route through their European networks. Turkish Airlines and Fly Dubai cover the Gulf side, while American Airlines and Delta Air Lines show up on itineraries that pass through the United States. Fly Dubai sits closest to a low-cost model, so check what your fare includes: on the full-service carriers a checked bag is usually part of the ticket, on a stripped-back fare it is not.

Praslin Island airport is the island's only airport, and it is a small one: you step off the plane, pick up your bag and you are outside within minutes. The island is compact, so most hotels and guesthouses sit a short drive from the terminal, and taxis or a transfer arranged by your accommodation are the usual ways in. Agree the fare before you get in, and confirm your pickup time with your host if your flight lands in the evening. Because the trip from Krakow is long, arriving with a day of slack before any onward plan is worth the extra night.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow flights leave from Balice, so check the airport code on your ticket before you pay.
• Confirm whether your connection is on one ticket or two: separate tickets mean you carry the risk of a missed flight.
• Read the baggage allowance on every leg, since the rules of the first carrier do not always follow you to the last.
• Check the entry rules for the Seychelles Islands early, including passport validity and any visa or health requirement.
• Compare September fares with the other months in the price calendar before you lock in your dates.
• Book any transfer or first-night hotel before you fly, as options close to Praslin Island airport are limited.
