Cheap flights from Luxor to Krakow

December is the cheapest month here, and it is also when Krakow is at its most atmospheric, with the Christmas season filling the Old Town. Winter is high season on the Egyptian side too, so Luxor departures stay busy from late autumn into early spring. Fares show up for September through March, plus May and August, which means the shoulder weeks either side of the holidays are usually the calmest and the kindest to your budget. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel, and earlier still if you want to fly over Christmas or New Year, when seats on connecting services go first.

Easyjet is the low-cost name you are most likely to see on the European legs, with the usual cabin bag rules and everything else charged as an extra. Neos Air, Aegean Airlines and Edelweiss Air are the full-service carriers in the mix, and Egyptair covers the Egyptian end of the journey. Because nothing flies Luxor to Krakow nonstop, every itinerary pairs two airlines, and that changes what you get. On a single ticket your bags are normally checked through and the carrier looks after you if a connection slips; on two separate bookings you collect your luggage and absorb the delay yourself. Full-service fares tend to include a checked bag, low-cost ones rarely do.

You land at Balice, the airport serving Krakow, which sits outside the city rather than in it. Taxis, ride-hailing apps and the public transport links that serve the terminal are the usual ways into the centre, and the transfer is short enough that most travellers head straight to their hotel. Watch the taxi rank: agree the fare or order through an app before you get in, and ignore anyone approaching you inside the arrivals hall. If a tight connection left your bag behind, file the report before you leave the terminal, because it is far harder to chase afterwards.

• Read the baggage allowance on the low-cost leg, where a cabin bag may be all that is included.
• Make sure your passport and entry documents are valid for Poland, and check the rules for the country you transit through as well.
