How to get the best deal on a Krakow — Istanbul ticket

  • Book tickets for LOT or Turkish Airlines 8–12 weeks before departure to find fares AED 354, as prices rise significantly closer to the date.
  • Use the low-price calendar on the page: departing mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) is often 15–20% cheaper than flights on Friday and Sunday.
  • Compare offers with layovers in Warsaw if direct flights on your dates cost more AED 501 — this sometimes allows you to save money if you have the time.
  • Pay attention to baggage allowances: for full-service carriers on this route, the basic fare may not include a suitcase, and the airport fee will be higher than when purchasing online.
