Cheap flights from Pisa to Krakow

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar on this page shows how much the other months differ. Late autumn and the first weeks of the year are the quiet stretches, while the summer holidays and the festive weeks at the end of December push fares up on both sides. If your dates can move, let the calendar choose the day instead of fixing a weekend first, since a day either side of your plan often changes the total. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and autumn trips, and further ahead if you want to fly in summer or just before the new year.

Low-cost carriers do most of the flying here: Ryanair and Easyjet are the names you will see most often, with Transavia Airlines and Norwegian International also on the route. The full-service carriers are Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Air Dolomiti and Malta Airlines, and they mostly sell connections rather than non-stop seats, so the trip takes longer. Mokulele Flight Service appears among the options too. On a low-cost ticket you pay for a seat and a small cabin bag, and everything else is an add-on: checked luggage, a chosen seat, a drink. Full-service fares usually include a hold bag and rebook you when a connection goes wrong.

You land at Balice, the airport serving Krakow, which sits outside the city rather than in it. The train and the bus are the usual ways into town, and taxis wait outside the terminal if you arrive after the last connection. Galileo Galilei, Pisa's airport, is small and straightforward, so the departure side rarely needs much extra time, though the summer months are busier than the rest of the year. Check your terminal and your airline's check-in cut-off before you travel, and keep your documents within reach on both legs.
