Cheap flights from Krakow to Salt Lake City

April is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares shown for it are dated, so you can see the current level rather than a guess. Spring and early autumn are the calm windows: September and October sit above April but below the summer rush, while June climbs as school holidays begin. November, December and January mix cheap midweek seats with expensive travel around Christmas and New Year, when everyone wants the same dates. Fly out early in the week and come home midweek if you can, since weekend departures from Balice cost more. For summer and holiday trips, book well ahead and watch the layover, because a longer connection is often what keeps a fare down.

Nothing here is nonstop, so every ticket is a connecting one, and the airline you pick decides where you change planes. LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa Cityline keep the first leg short, changing in Warsaw or a German hub. Scandinavian Airlines, Finnair and Braathens Regional Aviation head north via Copenhagen, Helsinki or Stockholm. British Airways and Cityjet route you through London, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, Helvetic Airways via Switzerland. United Airlines usually carries the transatlantic leg and the last hop into Salt Lake City. The mix leans to full-service and regional carriers rather than budget, so check the baggage rules for each fare before you compare totals.

Salt Lake City International is the airport you land at, and it sits close to the centre, a short ride rather than a long transfer, with buses, shuttles and taxis the usual ways in. If you are heading for the ski resorts or the national parks, the drive from the airport is much longer, and many travellers collect a rental car on arrival instead. On a connecting trip, ask where you clear US entry, because it is not always at your final airport, and leave room for it before the last flight. Keep your onward boarding pass handy and check whether your bags are tagged through to Salt Lake City or have to be picked up and re-checked.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm your ticket leaves from Balice, the airport serving Krakow.
• Check the length of your layover, because no airline flies this route nonstop and a tight change in a European hub is where trips go wrong.
• Read the baggage allowance for every leg, as the smaller carriers on the first hop often include less than the long-haul airline.
• Make sure both flights sit on one ticket, or a delay on the first leg leaves you buying the second one again.
• Check your passport and US entry requirements well before departure, and know what you need to show at the border.
• Compare April with September and October before you commit, since the cheapest month is not always the one that suits you.
