Cheap flights from Siem Reap to Krakow

December is the cheapest month on this route, and it falls inside a fare window that runs from September through April. That window spans Cambodia's dry season and Poland's winter, so you leave warm weather and land in the cold — plan your layers. Midweek departures tend to price lower than weekend ones, and the Christmas and New Year weeks are the exception to the December rule, because everyone else is booking them too. Aim to book a few months out for the quieter weeks and stay away from the holiday peak if your dates are flexible.

No single carrier owns the Siem Reap to Krakow run, so expect a mix. Cambodia Angkor Air, Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways Intl, Vietnam Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Emirates all serve the region and appear on itineraries that connect through a hub before the long leg into Europe. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines turn up on the longer portions, usually as part of a through ticket rather than a stand-alone booking. These are full-service airlines rather than low-cost carriers, so baggage and meals are usually part of the fare instead of sold separately — but the fare family decides how much, and a light ticket on the same flight can leave both out.

Krakow has a single airport, Balice, so there is no wrong one to pick on the Polish end. It sits just outside the city, and the ride into the centre is short — a taxi or a bus covers it without much fuss. If you arrive on a connection, your bags are usually tagged through to Krakow, but confirm that at the Siem Reap check-in desk, especially when the ticket was put together from separate bookings. Watch your landing time: a late-evening arrival means fewer buses, and a taxi becomes the practical choice. And on the way out, remember that Siem Reap-Angkor and Angkor are two separate airports — your ticket names only one of them.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Siem Reap airport your ticket uses, because Siem Reap-Angkor and Angkor are not the same place.
• Confirm whether your fare includes a checked bag, since the long leg into Europe usually needs one.
• If your trip is split across separate tickets, leave a generous gap at the connecting point.
• Check your passport and the current entry rules for Poland well before departure.
• Compare December against the rest of the September to April window before you lock a date.
• Book the Krakow end early if your travel falls over the Christmas and New Year weeks.
