Cheap flights from Sao Vicente to Krakow

Fares on this route are dated from September through February, and February is the cheapest month of that window. Autumn and early winter are the calmest stretch to travel, while the weeks around Christmas and New Year push prices up at both ends of the journey. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and flying out of San Pedro on a quieter day leaves you more room to pick a comfortable connection. If your dates are fixed, book February early — that is when the cheap seats on this route go first.

Four airlines appear on this route: TACV Cabo Verde Airlines and TAP Portugal, the carriers with the closest ties to Cape Verde, and Edelweiss Air and Luxair from Europe. There are no direct flights, so every option means at least one change of plane, and the airline you choose decides where you connect and how long the whole journey takes. What is included differs by fare as much as by airline — a full-service ticket often carries a checked bag, while lighter fares on the same plane may not. Compare the total with luggage and seat selection added, not just the ticket price.

You land at Balice, Krakow's airport, which sits a short ride outside the city rather than in the middle of it. A train and a bus both run between the terminal and the centre, and taxis and ride-hailing wait outside arrivals. If your hotel is near the old town, the train is the simplest way in. Allow extra time for the return: check-in and security at Balice get busy at peak departure times, and the airport is compact enough that a long queue can catch you out. Landing late at night, check the last bus or train before you rely on it.

Country facts: Wikidata

• San Pedro is the only airport on Sao Vicente, so there is no second departure point to weigh up.
• Every itinerary on this route includes a change of plane, so check the connection time and whether both legs sit on one ticket.
• If the legs are booked separately, a delay on the first flight is your problem rather than the airline's.
• Read what the fare includes, because on the lighter tickets a checked bag is usually an extra.
• Check entry rules for Poland well before departure, since the passport you travel on decides what you need.
• February is the cheapest month on the calendar, so book it early if your dates are fixed.
