Cheap flights Trondheim to Krakow

December is the month when fares on this route sit at their lowest, and the price calendar covers every month from September through August, so you can see the shape of the year before you commit. Late winter and early spring are usually quieter, while summer and the run-up to Christmas fill up early. Flying out on a Tuesday or Wednesday and coming back midweek tends to cost less than weekend departures. If you are heading to Krakow for the Christmas markets or around Polish public holidays, book well ahead, as those dates sell out first.

Nobody flies Trondheim to Krakow nonstop, so you are choosing between carriers that connect you through their own hubs. Norwegian and Norwegian International keep you in Scandinavia for the first leg, while Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Finnair hand you over at bigger hubs further south. Wider and Nordic Regional Airlines cover shorter regional legs, and Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation turn up on some connections too. Low-cost tickets usually include a cabin bag and little else, while full-service fares on the larger carriers tend to come with a checked bag. Check what each fare covers before you choose.

Krakow's airport is Balice, the city's only one, and it sits outside town rather than in it. From the terminal you can reach the centre by train, by bus or by taxi, and the ride is short enough that most people go straight to their hotel. Allow extra time on winter evenings, when roads can be slow and the light goes early. If you arrive on a late connection, check the last train and bus times before you land, because they do not run all night. Baggage claim at Balice is small, so a tight onward connection is worth avoiding.
