Cheap flights from Krakow to Siem Reap

December is the cheapest month for this route, and the fares we track run from September through February. That covers the European autumn and winter, so you are choosing between an autumn departure and a winter one rather than a summer trip. Midweek departures from Balice usually cost less than weekend ones, and the days around Christmas and New Year are the ones to watch even in a cheap month. With at least one connection on every option, book earlier than you would for a short hop within Europe — the good connecting fares go first.

Every airline on this route sells it as a connecting trip, so the name on the ticket matters less than the shape of the itinerary. Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Finnair, Turkish Airlines and Fly Dubai all appear here, along with Helvetic Airways and Air Dolomiti, which usually show up on the shorter legs. None of them is a low-cost carrier, so the difference between fares comes down to baggage, seat selection and layover length. Check whether both legs sit on one ticket: if they do not, you collect your bags and check in again, and a missed connection is on you.

Siem Reap is served by Siem Reap-Angkor, also listed as Angkor, so check that the code on your ticket matches the airport your ground transfer is booked to. The airport lies outside the city, and the drive into the centre is long enough that you should sort transport before you land rather than at the kerb. Taxis, tuk-tuks and hotel pickups are the usual ways in, and a hotel that meets arrivals saves you the negotiation after a journey with at least one connection behind you. Look at your arrival time as well as your departure: a late landing narrows your options, and a pre-booked driver is worth arranging in advance.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm the departure code reads Balice at the Krakow end and Siem Reap-Angkor at the Cambodian end.
• Read the baggage allowance for each leg, since a connecting itinerary can pair two carriers with two sets of rules.
• Check that both flights sit on one ticket — a self-transfer means collecting bags and checking in again.
• Look up the current entry rules for Cambodia, including passport validity, before you pay.
• Compare fares for the month you actually want, since December is priced lowest here and the months around it differ.
• Leave a generous gap between flights if you book the legs separately, and know what happens if the first one is delayed.
