Cheap flights from Porto Alegre to Krakow

November is where fares on this route bottom out, so start your date hunt there if the total decides the trip. The dated prices on the page cover September, October, November, December, January and March — a run from late summer through midwinter plus one spring month — while February and the summer season sit outside them. Around Christmas and during school holidays, lock your dates and book early, since those weeks are fixed long in advance for most travellers; outside them, moving a departure by a day or two often shifts the total, so test neighbouring dates before you commit.

What the fare includes is the first thing to weigh, because lighter tickets on this route often carry the base price alone, with the checked bag, seat choice and meals surfacing as extras at checkout, while fuller fares fold them in. GOL Linhas Aereas S.A. and Azul work on a low-cost model, Latam Airlines Brasil and LATAM Airlines sell a ladder of fare levels, and Turkish Airlines, Delta Air Lines and American Airlines operate as full-service network carriers. Every itinerary involves a change of plane, so confirm all legs sit on one ticket — that is what gets you rebooked if the first flight lands late.

Balice is a compact airport by European standards, which helps after a long journey with connections: arrivals, passport control and baggage reclaim sit close together, so the first hour stays simple. The airport lies a short distance west of the city, and a rail link runs to the main railway station, with buses and taxis covering the same ground; from the station, the old town is a few minutes on foot. You clear passport control here, since this is your entry into the Schengen area, so keep documents and any paperwork you need in your hand luggage rather than in the checked bag that arrives last.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the entry rules for Poland and your passport's validity first, before comparing fares.
• Make sure every leg is sold on a single ticket, so the airline rebooks you if the connection breaks.
• Price the checked bag into the total, because lighter fares on this route treat baggage as an extra at checkout.
• Look at the length of the connection as well as the fare, since a tight change turns a saving into a risk.
• Start your date search in November, the month that prices lowest here, and compare it with March if spring suits you better.
• Remember Salgado Filho is the only airport in Porto Alegre, so spend the comparison on routings and layovers instead.
