Cheap flights from Krakow to Santa Cruz de la Palma

February is the cheapest month on this route, and the low season runs from September through April, when fares sit down across the board. Summer and the school holidays push prices up, and Christmas and Easter are the two spikes to avoid if you can. Midweek departures are usually quieter and cheaper than weekend ones, so build the trip around a Tuesday or Wednesday if your dates are flexible. For winter sun, book a few months ahead, because the cheap seats on the connecting legs are the first to go. If you are tied to a holiday week, compare the whole week rather than a single day, since the difference between neighbouring dates can be large.

Nobody flies Krakow to La Palma non-stop, so every option here is a connection, and the airline you choose decides where you change planes. Wizz Air, Easyjet and Jet2 are the budget names on the route, while Air Baltic, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, Eurowings, Air Dolomiti and Helvetic Airways are the network carriers. On low-cost tickets you usually pay separately for a checked bag and a seat choice; on network fares more is bundled in from the start, so compare the total rather than the headline figure. Check whether your bags are checked through to La Palma or whether you collect them at the hub and check in again.

Your flight lands at La Palma, the airport that serves the island, and Santa Cruz de la Palma is a short transfer from the terminal. Taxis and buses cover the run into town, and if you are staying further along the coast, collecting a hire car at the airport is the usual move. After a connection the terminal feels small and quick, which is a relief, but if your legs were booked separately you collect your bags and check in again. Arriving late in the evening is worth planning for, since buses thin out and a pre-booked transfer or taxi is the safer bet.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Krakow flights leave from Balice, so check the airport code on your booking before you arrange a lift to the terminal.
• Every itinerary to La Palma changes planes, so leave a comfortable gap at the connecting airport.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, a missed connection is yours to sort out, not the airline's.
• On a low-cost fare, check the cabin bag size, the checked luggage and the seat fee before you compare totals.
• Bring valid ID or a passport for Spain and check the current entry rules for the Canary Islands before you fly.
• February is the cheapest month, but holiday weeks need booking early and flexible weekdays.
