When to fly
December is the cheapest month, but the weeks around it matter just as much: late November and early January are the natural shoulder periods to compare before you commit. December itself brings Christmas and New Year demand that can tighten choice on a route with no direct flights, while summer school holidays affect July and the other months on the price calendar. Weekday departures often leave more connection options than weekend peaks, and the months with prices run from October through February plus May and July. Check the calendar for your exact dates, because the cheapest month is a guide, not a guarantee.
Airlines and what to expect
LOT Polish Airlines heads the list of carriers on this route, followed by Lufthansa, Air Dolomiti, Croatia Airlines, Turkish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Eurowings. None of them flies it non-stop, so every fare is a connection somewhere; compare the connection airport, total travel time and what each ticket includes before you decide. A single ticket that covers the whole journey protects you if a flight is delayed, while separate bookings put that risk on you. Check baggage rules and seat or meal inclusions on each carrier rather than assuming they match.
Arriving — Katowice
Pyrzowice is Katowice's only listed airport, so arrivals are contained: one terminal area to learn, shorter walks, and a simpler first hour than at a sprawling hub. That same compactness means fewer late-night services into town, so check onward transport before you book an evening arrival. Buses and taxis are the usual ways into Katowice, and if you land late you should know the last bus time in advance. Watch for winter weather and allow a little buffer if your connection was tight.
