Cheap flights from Krakow to Stockholm

September is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar stays full all year, so you can watch it move. Summer is busy in both cities, with school holidays pushing fares up, while late spring and early autumn are calmer. Christmas and New Year send prices climbing in both directions, and Swedish Midsummer pulls a lot of traffic into Stockholm in June. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. Book a few weeks ahead for summer and the holidays, and leave it later if you are flying in November or early December.

Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost carriers here, and their fares buy a seat and a small cabin bag only, with anything checked costing extra. Norwegian and Norwegian International keep a similar budget-minded model on many departures. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Finnair, Air Serbia and Malta Airlines are full-service names, usually connecting through their own hubs, and their fares are built differently from the low-cost model. Nordic Regional Airlines and Mokulele Flight Service also appear among the options. Direct flights exist on this route, but not every airline listed flies them nonstop, so check whether your ticket is a nonstop or a connection before you commit.

Stockholm has two airports in play. Arlanda is the main one, sitting north of the city, and it has the quickest rail link into the centre along with frequent coaches and local trains. Skavsta International is much further out, in the countryside to the south, and low-cost arrivals there usually connect to Stockholm by coach timed to the flight. Whichever you land at, sort out the transfer before you book, because a cheap ticket into Skavsta can add hours to your day while Arlanda puts you in town quickly. Check the airport on your booking, since the two are not interchangeable and getting it wrong means a long taxi.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Stockholm airport your ticket uses, because Arlanda and Skavsta International are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Confirm the baggage allowance on Ryanair or Wizz Air, where only a small cabin bag is normally included.
• If your fare connects, keep the whole trip on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry valid ID or a passport that meets the entry rules for Sweden before you fly.
• Book early for summer, Christmas and Midsummer, and watch the price calendar for the September dip.
• Departures leave from Balice, so allow time for the trip to the airport before an early flight.
