Krakow John Paul II Airport Hotel and Parking Packages
Krakow John Paul II Airport is Poland’s second busiest airport, handling a substantial volume of Ryanair, Wizz Air, and Jet2 traffic as well as traditional carriers. It lies 11km west of the city centre. For travellers driving in from Silesia, the Tatra region, or further across southern Poland, a park and fly hotel near the terminal provides a convenient overnight before departure. One hotel offers a park and fly package with a shuttle.
How it works
Book the Novotel Kraków Airport and parking package through Aerfortel. Drive to the hotel the evening before your flight and park in the hotel car park. The shuttle takes you to the terminal in the morning. Krakow Airport has a single main terminal. On your return, the shuttle brings you back from arrivals.

Is parking at Krakow Airport expensive?
Krakow Airport parking is priced at Polish rates, which are lower than Western European equivalents. The Novotel park and fly package is competitive for trips of five days or more. Polish parking costs have risen as the country’s economy has grown, but remain below Western European levels.
Is there a bus or train from Krakow Airport to the city?
Bus line 208 connects the airport to Krakow city centre in about 30 minutes. A rail connection via a dedicated shuttle train also serves the airport. For park and fly guests, these are less relevant than the hotel shuttle, but useful if you want to spend an evening in the city before flying.
