Cheap flights Taipei to Krakow

April comes out as the cheapest month for this route, and it is also an easy time to land in Krakow, with spring weather and thinner crowds than midsummer. Fares on the calendar run from September through April and again in June and July, so late spring and early autumn usually give you the widest choice. Midweek departures from Taipei tend to be quieter than weekend ones, and the big holiday peaks, Lunar New Year on the Taipei side and Christmas and New Year in Poland, are when connecting seats fill first. If your dates are flexible, price the same trip a week either side before you commit.

No airline flies Taipei to Krakow non-stop, so every itinerary here is a connecting one, usually through a hub in Asia, the Gulf or Europe. Eva Air and Mandarin Airlines cover the Taipei end, while Air China, Hong Kong Airlines, Asiana Airlines, All Nippon Airways and Thai Airways Intl feed the Asian hubs. Emirates and Turkish Airlines open up the Gulf and Istanbul routes into Europe, and Malindo Air is the low-cost-style option in the mix, so read what its fare includes before you set it against the full-service carriers. Baggage, seat selection and whether the whole trip sits on one ticket are what change most from airline to airline.

Krakow has one airport, Balice, a short ride west of the city, so there is no wrong airport to pick on this end, only the last leg to plan. A train and a bus both link the terminal with the centre, and taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals; the train is the simplest if your bags are manageable. Coming from Taipei you will almost certainly arrive after a change somewhere in Asia or Europe, so allow room for a delayed first leg and keep your onward details handy. If you land late, check the last connection into town before you book the flight, not after.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you are leaving from Taiwan Taoyuan International, the only Taipei airport on this route.
• Confirm whether the trip is one ticket or two, because a missed connection on separate tickets is your problem, not the airline's.
• Read the baggage allowance on the cheaper fares before you commit to a checked bag for the long haul.
• Make sure your passport and any entry documents for Poland are valid well beyond your travel dates.
• Compare April fares with the months on either side, since April is the cheapest month here.
• Leave a comfortable layover at the connecting hub instead of the shortest one on offer.
