Cheap flights from Palma de Mallorca to Krakow

January is the cheapest month on this route and the quietest at both ends: Krakow is cold with short days, and Mallorca is calm. Summer flips it, with holiday traffic pushing fares up on the island while Krakow turns warm and busy. Spring and autumn sit in between and often give you a good balance of weather and price. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, so if your dates are flexible, look at Tuesday or Wednesday. Watch school holidays, Easter, and the run-up to Christmas and New Year, when demand rises on both sides.

Several carriers fly this route, and most of them are low-cost. Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, Vueling Airlines, Jet2, Transavia France and Norwegian International keep base fares low and sell extras on top, so compare the total once bags and seats are added. Air Nostrum and Neos Air sit at the other end of the market, with fares that tend to include more. Not every airline flies all year, and schedules shift with the season, so check who is operating on your dates. Direct flights avoid a change of plane; if a fare you like is routed through another city, look at the layover before booking.

You land at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, and it sits outside the city rather than in the middle of it. The centre is a short ride away, and the usual options are the train, the bus, a taxi or a ride-hailing app. The train is the simplest if your accommodation is near the main station, while buses stop at several points around town. Taxis are metered, so check the meter or agree the fare before you set off, and be wary of drivers offering a flat rate at the exit. If you land late, check the last train and bus times for that day, since late arrivals often mean a taxi.
