Cheap flights from Montpellier to Krakow

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the fares the page tracks run from September through February. Late autumn and the weeks after New Year are when prices tend to sit lowest, while the run-up to Christmas and the winter school breaks push them up. If your dates are flexible, compare a midweek departure with a weekend one and look at the price calendar before you commit. Booking a few weeks ahead helps for winter travel, and it is worth checking the calendar again as your dates get closer.

Nothing flies Montpellier to Krakow non-stop, so every option here is a connection. Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and HOP! are the full-service names on the route, and their fares usually come with more built in — read the fare conditions when you book. Easyjet, Transavia France and Norwegian International are the low-cost carriers, where the ticket covers a seat and a small cabin bag and the rest is an add-on. Luxair is the smaller regional option. Compare the whole journey, not just the fare: a cheap connection with a long layover can cost you more than it saves.

You land at Kraków's airport in Balice, the city's only commercial airport and a short ride from the centre rather than a long transfer. Trains and buses connect the terminal with the city, and taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals; the train is the easy choice if you are staying near the main station. Late arrivals are worth planning for, since the last services into town are not late and a taxi may be your only option. If your connection was booked on separate tickets, collect your bag at Balice and allow extra time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Montpellier has a single airport, Montpellier-Méditerranée, so check it is the one on your ticket.
• Check whether your connection is one ticket or two — separate bookings leave you carrying the risk.
• On Easyjet, Transavia France and Norwegian International, read the baggage rules before you book.
• Make sure your passport or identity card is valid for the whole trip and check Poland's entry rules.
• If your dates are open, price January against the autumn months before you commit.
• Weigh total journey time against the fare, since a long layover can eat the saving.
