How to get to Krakow by plane
Balice Airport (KRK) is the main airport, located about 12km to the west of the centre. It is the second biggest airport in Poland, with frequent domestic and international charter and scheduled flights. There are several direct arrivals every day from all over Europe, including London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Milan, Cologne, Berlin, Dublin, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Rome, Vienna and Zurich. Services also fly from Chicago and New York in the USA, and there are summer flights to more destinations, including Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey. The main flight companies operating in the airport include British Airways, LOT (the Polish national airline), Air France, Alitalia, Aerlingus, Austrian Airlinese, and Lufthansa. There are also lots of budget airlines operating here, including Central Wings, easyJet, German Wings, Jet 2, Ryanair, and SkyEurope. Alternatively, you can fly to Warsaw for a connecting flight.
Trains run from the airport to 'Dworzec Glowny PKP' (the central station) approximately every 40 minutes, starting from 4.24AM, until 00.15. This costs 4PLN (ISIC Holders 2.16PLN), and the journey takes about 20 minutes. You can walk to the station, as it is only 200m, or a free shuttle-bus service runs from the front of the airport. Given the price and speed of the train, this is the best choice. If you buy the ticket onboards you will sometimes pay additonal fee of 4PLN (if the ticket seller is really sticking to the fare rules) so if you have time and don't want to risk, you can buy ticket in PKP cash-desk at the airport.
There are two bus services that also run from the airport into the city centre. The 192 goes to the main railway station through to the Cracovia Hotel. The 208 goes through Miasteczko Studenckie (Students' Town) and through to Balicka Street. Single-ride ticket cost 2.50PLN and ride takes approximately 40 minutes. Buy the ticket inside the airport from one of the newsagents, as you will find it cheaper (3PLN when bought onboard). Note that large items of luggage require an extra ticket (2.50 PLN each) - ask for advice when you buy the ticket. Both buses go approx. once in an hour.
You can get a taxi at any time from the front of the airport. Use Radio Taxi 9191, as they accept credit card, and are very trustworthy. The journey to the centre should cost no more than 60PLN during the day - check that the meter is on, with the appropriate tarif.
You can try hitchhiking, but it is difficult from the airport. If you want to give it a go, walk to the main road, and remember to hold out your whole hand. As always, be careful!
