Cheap flights from Krakow to Venice

October is the month when fares on this route usually sit at their lowest, and the price calendar runs from September through August, so you can compare the whole year at a glance. Spring and summer are Venice's busiest stretch, and the Christmas weeks lift prices in both cities, so book those well ahead. Midweek departures are usually quieter and cheaper than Friday or Sunday. If your plans are flexible, October and the quiet weeks after the New Year give you the widest choice.

Low-cost carriers do the heavy lifting on this route: Ryanair, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, plus EasyJet Europe, are the names to look for on direct Krakow to Venice services. Full-service airlines such as LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, ITA Airways, Scandinavian Airlines and German Airways mostly sell connecting itineraries through their own hubs, which adds a stop but can bundle more into the fare. The real difference shows at checkout: low-cost tickets usually cover a small personal item only, with cabin and hold bags priced as extras. Compare the total, not the headline fare.

Venice has two airports in the mix, and they are not in the same place. Treviso sits inland and is the one low-cost carriers tend to use; it is further from the city, so allow extra time and plan on a bus or train connection in. Marco Polo is the closer of the two, on the lagoon side, with buses running into the city and water transport for the last stretch. Both are sold as Venice when you book, so read the airport name carefully before you pay. If you land late, check the last connection into town before you commit, and remember that the centre is car-free, so you finish the journey on foot or on the water.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm your arrival airport, because Treviso and Marco Polo are both sold as Venice and they are nowhere near each other.
• Check what your low-cost fare includes, since Ryanair, Wizz Air and EasyJet Europe treat cabin and hold bags as extras.
• If you build a trip from separate tickets, remember that a missed connection is yours to fix, not the airline's.
• Make sure your passport or ID is valid for Italy and matches the name on the booking.
• Book early for October if you want the low fares, and use the price calendar to compare the quieter months.
• Look at the season before you fix dates, as spring and summer fill Venice and the holidays push fares up in both cities.
