Cheap flights from Tromso to Krakow

November is the cheapest month on this route, and fares are listed from September through June, so the summer weeks are not part of the picture — aim for late autumn, winter or spring instead. Midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper than Friday and Sunday, when weekend travel peaks. Around Christmas and New Year, and during the Norwegian winter school break, prices out of Tromso climb; in Krakow the early November holidays and Easter are the busy stretches. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips, and earlier if your dates land on a holiday.

No airline flies Tromso to Krakow nonstop, so every trip connects, usually through a hub in Scandinavia or Central Europe. Low-cost carriers here include Easyjet, Transavia Airlines and Norwegian, which keep the base fare low and charge for extras such as checked bags and seat choice. Full-service names on the route are Scandinavian Airlines, Air France, British Airways, Austrian and Edelweiss Air, where a checked bag is more often part of the fare. Nordic Regional Airlines and Norwegian International appear as feeders on some itineraries. Check whether both legs sit on one ticket — that decides who rebooks you when a flight is delayed.

Your flight lands at Balice, Krakow's airport, a short drive from the city centre — close enough that a taxi or ride-hailing car reaches the old town quickly. A rail link and local buses also run into town and suit daytime arrivals; if you land late, check the last departure before relying on them. The terminal is compact, so most of your time at arrivals goes on passport checks rather than finding the exit. Use the official taxi rank or an app rather than drivers who approach you in the hall, and confirm the meter first. Balice itself is the easy part of this route — the connection you make on the way is what deserves the planning.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your ticket leaves from Tromso/Langnes — Tromso has a single airport, so there is no second one to mix up.
• If you book a low-cost fare, work out the baggage you need and price it in before you pay.
• Make sure both legs of the connection sit on one ticket, or you carry the risk if the first flight is late.
• Carry a valid passport or national ID card for Poland and check it covers your travel dates.
• Remember that fares are listed from September through June, so a summer trip needs different planning.
• Compare a midweek departure with a weekend one before you decide — the gap on this route is often worth the flexibility.
