Cheap flights from Las Vegas to Krakow

March is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the one to watch if your dates are flexible. Fares stay calmer in the shoulder months on either side, while the peak summer weeks and the run-up to Christmas are when tickets climb. Leaving Las Vegas midweek rather than at the weekend usually costs less, and landing in Krakow early in the week does too. Winter in Krakow is cold and quiet, spring and early autumn are mild and busy with city breaks. Book well ahead for summer and the holidays, and closer in for the quieter months.

Nothing flies nonstop between Las Vegas and Krakow, so every option here is a connecting itinerary. The names you will see are KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss, British Airways, Finnair, Eurowings Discover and Edelweiss Air on the European side, with Alaska Airlines, United Airlines and WestJet covering the North American legs. These are network carriers rather than budget airlines, so the differences show up in fare families: what you pay decides whether a checked bag, a seat choice and a changeable ticket are included. Compare the total, not the headline fare, and look at the layover each airline builds in.

Your flight lands at Balice, the airport serving Krakow, which sits outside the city rather than in it. The usual ways into the centre are the airport train, a bus or a taxi, and the ride is short enough that you can be at your hotel soon after landing. Where you clear passport control depends on where you connect — on most of these itineraries the border check happens at your first stop in Europe, not in Krakow. Coming from Las Vegas you will also be adjusting to a big time change, so keep your first afternoon light. If your bags are tagged through to Balice on one ticket, you can leave them alone at the connection.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Las Vegas has a single commercial airport, Harry Reid International, so check your terminal rather than your airport.
• Read the baggage rules for your exact fare, because a checked bag is not automatic on every ticket.
• If your trip is built from separate tickets, give the connection plenty of room, since a missed leg is not protected.
• Check your passport and any entry requirements for Poland well before you pay.
• Look at March fares first, then compare the months on either side before you commit.
