Cheap flights from Krakow to Surabaya

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares shown for it sit below the rest of the year. September and November also price well, so the shoulder weeks around autumn are worth checking before you commit. June is the other month with fares on the calendar, and it is the busiest because of the European summer holidays. Midweek departures, Tuesday or Wednesday, usually cost less than weekend ones, and the same holds for the return leg. Skip the weeks around Christmas and New Year, when seats to Asia fill early and prices climb. For autumn travel, book a few months ahead rather than in the last days before departure.

There are no nonstop flights between Krakow and Surabaya, so every fare on this page is a connecting one. The airline mix is broad: LOT Polish Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Finnair, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa Cityline, Aegean Airlines, Helvetic Airways and HOP! all appear on the route. Each carrier routes you through its own network, so the city where you change planes depends on who you pick, and total journey time varies between them. These are full-service airlines rather than low-cost ones, so the fare structure differs from a budget ticket and what is included depends on the fare you choose.

Surabaya is served by Juanda, and that is where your connecting itinerary finally lands. The airport lies outside the city rather than in its centre, so leave time for a road transfer at the end of a long trip. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual ways into town, and the drive slows down in the evening peak, so build in slack if you have a hotel check-in or another connection to catch. If someone is meeting you, confirm which terminal your flight arrives at before you land. After a journey with a change of planes, it also helps to know whether your bags were checked through to Juanda or only to the transfer point.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm your departure is from Balice, the only airport serving Krakow, so you plan the right transfer.
• Check where the change of planes happens, because a transfer in a third country can add hours to the trip.
• Check whether a checked bag is included on every leg, not just the first one.
• If you book legs on separate tickets, leave a long gap, because a missed connection is yours to fix.
• Read Indonesia's entry rules and passport validity requirements early, as they depend on your nationality.
• Compare fares across the price calendar rather than fixing on one date, since October sits below most months.
