Cheap flights from Stuttgart to Katowice

February is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar carries fares for September, October, November, December, February and May. Autumn and early winter sit in the middle of the range, while May climbs as the weather improves and demand picks up. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips and earlier still for the run-up to Christmas, when connecting seats go first. Flying midweek usually leaves more choice of connections than the weekend does.

Nobody flies Stuttgart to Katowice nonstop, so every ticket here is a connecting one and the airline matters less than the hub you change in. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Swiss, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Air Dolomiti, Air Baltic, German Airways and Helvetic Airways all show up in the results. Fare families differ more than the carriers do: the cheapest tickets may exclude a checked bag or seat selection, so compare the total with a bag rather than the headline fare.

Katowice is served by Pyrzowice, the airport that sits outside the city rather than at its edge. Buses and taxis meet the arrivals, and car hire desks are in the terminal, so the last leg into town is easy to arrange. Because it is a smaller regional airport, late arrivals can mean fewer buses, so check the last connection of the day before booking a flight that lands in the evening. If your trip is really about Krakow or Warsaw, both are served from Stuttgart too, and it is worth comparing those fares before you commit to Katowice.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the fare includes a checked bag if you fly on a light ticket, because the cheapest fares here often do not.
• Leave time between flights: with no nonstop option, a missed connection in a hub can cost you a day.
• Book both legs on one ticket where you can, so the airline rebooks you if the first flight is late.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland and check the entry rules for your nationality.
• Compare February with May and the autumn months on the price calendar before you commit.
• Stuttgart Airport is the only departure point here, so there is no second airport to weigh up.
