Cheap Flights from Krakow to Chicago Starting at $339

John Paul II Kraków-Balice Airport (KRK) is the primary international gateway to Kraków, serving a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 11 km (7 mi) west of the Old Town; transfer options include the Kraków Airport train (about 20–25 minutes), regional buses and shuttle coaches (roughly 30–40 minutes), plus taxis and ride-hailing (typically 20–30 minutes), with fares and timetables varying by operator. Pros: relatively close to the city, modern terminals and good low-cost coverage; cons: can be busy in peak periods and some budget services may use remote stands or charge extra for ancillaries.

Chicago is served mainly by O’Hare International (ORD) and Midway (MDW), with smaller general-aviation fields for private flights. O’Hare is the city’s primary international hub and a major global transfer point, typically hosting legacy carriers and many long-haul routes; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season and demand. It lies about 17–20 miles northwest of downtown; travelers usually reach the city by CTA Blue Line (~45–60 minutes, fares around $3–6), airport shuttle or taxi/rideshare (~35–60 minutes, fares roughly $40–70). Pros: wide route choice and frequent services; cons: busy terminals and potential for delays. Midway is a compact, budget-leaning airport to the southwest that commonly serves low-cost and domestic carriers, often with lower fares for regional hops. It’s roughly 10 miles from downtown and is reachable by CTA Orange Line (~25–35 minutes, fares about $3–6), shuttle/taxi (~20–35 minutes, fares around $30–50). Pros: shorter walking and transfer distances; cons: fewer international connections and fewer non-stop long-haul flights.
