Cheap flights from Tivat to Krakow

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar also shows fares for August, September, October, November and December. Summer is peak season on the Montenegrin coast, so August tickets run higher and both airports are busier; late autumn and early winter are quieter and often cheaper, though Krakow's days are shorter then. Midweek departures tend to beat weekend ones, and the Christmas and New Year window fills up fast in both directions. Book a few weeks ahead for winter travel and earlier still for the August rush.

No airline flies Tivat to Krakow non-stop, so every option here is a connection. Air Serbia routes most travellers through Belgrade, Austrian and Lufthansa through their own hubs, and Turkish Airlines through Istanbul, while Air Montenegro, the Montenegrin carrier, also appears on this route. Low-cost names such as Norwegian International and Eurowings can undercut the full-service fares, but what you get for the money differs: baggage allowances, seat selection and the length of the layover vary by ticket, not by airline alone. Edelweiss Air, Fly Dubai and El Al Israel Airlines show up less often. Check whether both legs sit on one ticket or two.

You land at Krakow John Paul II International Airport, known as Balice, the city's only airport and the gateway to southern Poland. It sits outside town, a short ride from the centre, with trains and buses linking the terminal to the main station and taxis available at the curb. Allow time for border checks on arrival, since Poland is in the Schengen area and travellers from Montenegro clear passport control here. If your first leg lands late, check the last transport times into the city before you book, and remember that Tivat's airport is small, so tight connections at the start are best avoided.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your departure airport is Tivat, the only one serving this route, so there is nothing to mix up at the start.
• Confirm whether both legs sit on one ticket or two separate bookings, because a missed connection on separate tickets is yours to fix.
• Look at where you change planes and how long the wait is, since a cheap fare with a long layover can eat a day.
• Read the baggage rules on the low-cost fares, where a checked bag is normally an add-on.
• Check entry rules and document validity for Poland before you pay.
• Book early for August and the winter holidays, and watch February, the cheapest month on this route.
