Cheap flights from Mauritius to Krakow

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the one to aim for if your dates are flexible. Fares appear for September through February and again from April to July, so the price calendar covers most of the year. Late December is the busiest window in both directions, with people flying home for the holidays and heading back in early January, so book that stretch well ahead. Midweek departures out of Sir S. Ramgoolam Intl usually cost less than weekend ones. Because every option involves a connection, booking early gives you a wider choice of routings and shorter layovers.

Nobody flies this route non-stop, so the airlines listed here are the ones whose hubs make the connection work. Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines take you through the Gulf, Istanbul or Addis Ababa, while Air France, Austrian, Condor, Edelweiss Air, Air Seychelles and Eurowings Discover route you through Europe or the Indian Ocean. All of them are full-service carriers rather than low-cost ones, so a checked bag, meals and seat selection are usually part of the fare. The details still differ from airline to airline, and a stripped-back fare on one can leave out what another includes.

You land at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, a short ride outside the city. A train link and several bus routes run between the terminal and the centre, and taxis wait outside arrivals; the train is usually the quickest way in during the day. If your connection lands late, check the last departure into town before you commit to the ticket, because the airport gets quiet overnight. Baggage that misses a tight transfer is the other thing to watch on a long route like this, so keep essentials in your cabin bag and make sure the tag on your checked luggage shows Krakow, not just your first stop.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that all your legs sit on one ticket, so a missed connection becomes the airline's problem rather than yours.
• Look at the layover length in each hub before you book, since a short connection in a large airport is where this trip usually goes wrong.
• Compare what each fare includes, because baggage rules differ between the airlines flying this route.
• Make sure your passport and any transit documents work for Poland and for every country you change planes in.
• Compare January with the rest of the year on the price calendar before you lock in your dates.
• Decide between a morning and an evening departure from Sir S. Ramgoolam Intl, as connection times shift with it.
