Cheap flights from Kristiansand to Krakow

November is the cheapest month, and the price calendar covers September, October, December, February, April and June so you can see how the rest of the year behaves. Autumn and late winter are calm on the Kristiansand side; June and the weeks before Christmas cost more, because that is when people here travel and Krakow fills up for the holidays. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday especially, are quieter than Friday and Sunday. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips and earlier for June, when the seats on connecting services go first.

Nobody flies this pair non-stop, so your ticket pairs a Scandinavian carrier with a connection further south. Norwegian and Norwegian International sell the low-cost kind of fare, where the seat is the starting point and everything else is added on; Scandinavian Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines sell fuller fares, and on those the whole journey usually sits on one booking. Wider and Cityjet turn up mostly on the first leg out of Kjevik. Where you change matters more than the logo: one ticket keeps the whole trip with one airline, while two separate bookings leave the connection in your own hands.

Krakow's airport is Balice, out beyond the western edge of the city rather than in it, so plan on a transfer rather than a walk. Trains and buses link the terminal with the centre, and taxis wait outside arrivals; the ride into town is short, but if you land late, check what still runs before you commit to a connection. Allow time on the way out too, because Balice handles a lot of seasonal traffic and security queues grow in the early morning. On the Kristiansand end, Kjevik is the city's only airport, so there is nothing to choose between.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Kristiansand is served by Kjevik alone, so there is only one departure airport to check.
• On a low-cost fare, add the cabin bag and checked luggage you need before comparing totals.
• If the legs are sold as separate tickets, leave a generous gap, because a missed connection is yours to fix.
• Carry a valid passport or ID card for Poland and check the entry rules for your nationality.
• Check the price calendar before fixing dates: November is the cheapest month, June and December higher.
• Ask whether your connection uses the same airport and whether you must collect and re-check your bag.
