Cheap flights from Tirana to Krakow

March is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are flexible, aim for it. Prices are listed for every month from September through August, which lets you compare the whole year on the price calendar before you commit. Spring and autumn departures generally sit between the winter low and the summer peak, and school holidays push fares up at both ends of the route. Midweek flights tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday departures. If March is your target, book a few weeks ahead rather than in the final days before you fly.

Ryanair, Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names you will see most often between Tirana and Krakow, and they are the ones to watch if the fare is what matters to you. Air Serbia, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Norwegian International, Aegean Airlines, Austrian and ITA Airways sell connecting itineraries, usually through their own hubs, which adds a stop but suits you if you would rather travel on a full-service ticket. Nonstop flights also operate on this route. What comes with your fare, from the cabin bag to the checked bag and seat choice, depends on the fare you pick rather than the airline name alone, so read the conditions before you pay.

You land at Balice, the airport that serves Krakow, and it is the only one on the Polish side, so there is no doubt about where you arrive. The airport sits outside the city, and the usual ways into the centre are the airport train, the bus or a taxi, so check the timetable for your own arrival hour before you travel. If you are continuing elsewhere in Poland, allow time to get into the city first. On the way back, your departure point is Nene Tereza Intl in Tirana, again the city's single airport. Keep your passport or ID within reach, and confirm the entry rules for Poland before departure rather than at the gate.
