Cheap flights from Stockholm to Krakow

September is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it is easy to see why: the summer rush is over, the weather in both Stockholm and Krakow is still mild, and fares have not yet climbed toward the winter holidays. Prices are listed here for September through July, so you can scan the whole year before you pick. Late autumn and winter are quieter and cheaper outside the Christmas and New Year window, when Krakow fills up for the markets. Spring brings another calm stretch before summer. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday, and booking a few weeks ahead beats booking in the last days before you fly.

Several carriers fly between Sweden and Poland, and the mix is worth reading before you book. Ryanair, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names here: the fare buys you a seat and a small cabin bag, and everything else is an extra you add yourself. LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Norwegian and Norwegian International are the full-service options, where a checked bag and seat selection are more often part of the ticket. Nordic Regional Airlines, Malta Airlines and Mokulele Flight Service also appear in the results for this route. Direct flights exist, though not every airline listed operates them, so check whether your fare is nonstop.

Krakow is served by Balice, which sits a short drive outside the centre rather than out in the countryside. A train and a bus both run between the terminal and the city, taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals, and the trip into the old town is quick enough that you do not need to plan your whole day around it. If you land late, check the last departure times for the train and bus before you count on them, and have a backup. Watch the name on your ticket when you leave Stockholm: Arlanda and Skavsta International are far apart, and a cheap fare stops being cheap if you booked the wrong one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your departure airport is Arlanda or Skavsta International before you pay, since Stockholm's two airports are nowhere near each other.
• Read the baggage rules on the low-cost fare, because a cabin bag and a checked bag are priced separately from the seat.
• If your itinerary connects, make sure both legs are on one ticket so a delay does not leave you stranded.
• Carry valid travel documents for Poland and check the entry rules for your passport before you fly.
• Book early for September if you want the cheapest window, and compare the price calendar before choosing a date.
• Leave room in your plans for winter weather delays at either end of the route.
