Cheap flights from San Juan to Krakow

December is the cheapest month in the price calendar for this route, so if your dates are flexible that is the one to aim for. Fares also show up across September, October, November, January, March, May and June, which gives you room to compare before you commit. Summer and the Christmas week are the first to fill, so book earlier if those are your dates. Midweek departures out of San Juan usually leave you more connection options than weekend ones.

Every carrier on this route sells it as a connecting trip. United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Air Canada, JetBlue Airways and WestJet fly you out of San Juan and hand you over in North America, while Lufthansa, British Airways and Iberia carry you across the Atlantic. The full-service names usually bundle more into the fare, and JetBlue Airways and WestJet tend to price extras separately, so compare what each ticket actually includes rather than the headline figure. Baggage rules on the long leg are the ones that decide your total.

You land at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, and it sits outside the city rather than in it. The usual ways into the centre are the train and the bus, both of which leave from the terminal, with taxis and ride-hailing as the door-to-door option. If your connection puts you in late, check the last departure of the night before you book, and know the address you are heading to before you walk out of arrivals.
