Cheap flights from Podgorica to Krakow

October comes out cheapest on this route, and the price calendar covers September through July, so you can compare months before you commit. Late spring and early autumn sit in the comfortable middle: mild weather at both ends, calmer airports, and fares that have not yet climbed into the summer peak. July is the busiest month to fly, with school holidays pushing demand up, and the winter weeks around Christmas and New Year spike briefly before settling again. Midweek departures are usually quieter than Friday and Sunday, and booking a few weeks ahead helps more than waiting for a last-minute deal.

Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta and Ryanair are the low-cost names you will see most often here, with Transavia France and Sun Express turning up on some connections. LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, Turkish Airlines, Olympic Air and Air Montenegro are the full-service options, and they usually mean a change of planes in a hub rather than a nonstop. Direct service does exist, so if your dates are fixed, check the nonstop first. As a rule, low-cost fares cover a seat and a small cabin bag with checked luggage priced separately, while full-service tickets bundle more into the fare, often including a checked bag. Compare the total, not the headline fare.

You land at Balice, Krakow's airport, which sits outside the city and is linked to the centre by public transport and by taxi. Allow time for the run into town if you arrive late in the evening. On the Podgorica side you depart from Golubovci, a compact airport where check-in and security rarely take long, though the drive in from the city is not short, so leave a buffer. If you are connecting, check whether your bag is checked through to Krakow or whether you collect it and drop it again at the transfer airport.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Podgorica has a single airport, Golubovci, so check the name on your ticket before you arrange a transfer.
• If you fly Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta or Ryanair, add the checked bag you need before comparing totals.
• On a connection sold as separate tickets, leave a long gap and expect to recheck your bag and clear security again.
• Check Poland's entry requirements for your nationality well before departure.
• Compare September and October fares, since the calendar is live for both and October is priced lower.
• Travelling in July? Book early, because school holidays fill the direct flights.
