Cheap flights from Lanzarote to Krakow

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar runs from September through April, so the shoulder weeks either side of the winter holidays are where the savings sit. Lanzarote stays mild through the winter while Krakow turns properly cold, which keeps demand low outside the festive period and the school breaks. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and Tuesday or Wednesday flights tend to offer the widest choice of connections. If your dates are open, book a few weeks ahead in the quieter months and leave the peak weeks alone.

There are no direct flights between Lanzarote and Krakow, so every option here is a connecting itinerary, usually through a mainland European hub. Easyjet, Jet2, Vueling Airlines and Norwegian are the low-cost names on the route; their fares are built around a cabin bag, with checked luggage and seat choice added at a cost. Iberia, British Airways, BA EuroFlyer, Brussels Airlines, Edelweiss Air and Eurowings Discover are the full-service carriers, where a fare often bundles a checked bag and a connection protected by the airline. That difference matters when you change planes: one ticket means the airline rebooks you after a delay, two separate tickets do not.

Krakow's airport is Balice, the city's only commercial gateway, and it sits outside town rather than on its edge. A train and a bus both run between the terminal and the city centre, taxis and ride-hailing apps wait outside arrivals, and the transfer is short enough that most travellers head straight to their hotel. If your itinerary connects, check whether the change happens at the same airport and whether you need to collect and re-check your bag, which on separate tickets you almost always do. Late arrivals are worth planning for, since the last trains and buses of the day go earlier in the evening and the taxi rank becomes the fallback.
