Cheap flights from Krakow to Shannon

October is the cheapest month to fly from Krakow to Shannon, with September and November usually close behind it. The price calendar covers most of the year, from September through April and again in August, so you can weigh a winter trip against a late-summer one before you decide. Midweek departures are generally quieter than Friday and Sunday flights. Around Christmas and the New Year the direct service fills up early, so book further ahead if that's your window. If your dates are open, aim for October and watch fares for a few weeks rather than taking the first price you see.

Ryanair is the low-cost carrier on this route, while the rest — British Airways, Finnair, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, German Airways, Air Dolomiti, Nordic Regional Airlines, KLM Cityhopper and HOP! — are full-service or regional airlines that generally appear on connecting itineraries through their own hubs. The difference shows up in what's included. A low-cost ticket usually covers one small cabin bag, with checked luggage and seat selection added at a cost; a full-service fare normally includes a checked bag and a drink on board. If you're weighing a direct flight against a cheaper connecting one, add the bag and the transfer time to both.

Your flight lands at Shannon, the airport that serves this part of the west of Ireland and the only arrival point on the route. It's a small, single-terminal airport, so passport control and baggage reclaim are quick and you're outside shortly after landing. The town of Shannon sits right next to the terminal, and the wider region is easy to reach by road. Buses and taxis are the usual ways into town, and car hire desks sit in the arrivals hall if you plan to travel on. If you land in the evening, check the last bus of the day before you book a late flight.
