Cheap flights from Salt Lake City to Krakow

November is the cheapest month for this route, and it also falls in the quiet stretch before Krakow's Christmas markets open. September and October are mild and popular for city breaks, March and April bring changeable weather with fewer travellers, and June is the busiest of the months priced here because summer trips to Europe fill up. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and a longer layover often brings the fare down. Watch the Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks, when seats out of Salt Lake City sell out early, and book those dates well ahead.

The airlines that show up on this route are Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Air Canada. All of them are network carriers rather than low-cost airlines, so a fare normally includes a seat and a carry-on, while checked baggage depends on the fare type you pick — read the rules before you pay. Since nothing flies non-stop between Salt Lake City and Krakow, every option is a connection, and what separates them is where you change and how long the layover runs. A single ticket protects you if a leg is delayed; two separate tickets leave you on your own when a connection is missed.

You land at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, in the south of Poland. It sits outside the city rather than in it, and the ride into the centre is short by the standards of a big European hub. A train and a bus both run between the terminal and the city, and taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals; the train is the simplest choice if you are heading to the old town with light luggage. On the way back, leave room for the security queue in high season, and check which terminal your return flight uses before you order a car.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your whole trip is on one ticket, because two separate bookings mean you collect your bags and check in again in the middle of the journey.
• Look at the layover length in the connecting hub, since a short change after a long flight is where this route goes wrong.
• Confirm what your fare includes for checked baggage, especially on the transatlantic leg.
• Make sure your passport is valid well beyond your travel dates and check the current entry rules for Poland.
• Compare September, October and November departures with the summer months, since November is when fares sit lowest.
