Chicago–Krakow Flights
This route runs from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to Krakow (KRK). The data logs a small share of nonstop options (less than 1% of the total), yet the cheapest award in each cabin connects.
Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Booking Chicago–Krakow with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once, so check the layover's length before booking. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $166, above the route's typical economy taxes. Stepping up costs about 1.6 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.3 times for business, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees. Bank points transfer to Air France-KLM Flying Blue; check for a transfer bonus, then confirm the seat before moving them.
Best Points & Miles Programs
Air France-KLM Flying Blue wins economy at 25,000 points. American AAdvantage takes premium economy at 40,000 points and business class at 57,500. The other seven programs include Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, and Avianca LifeMiles. The premium economy and business class floors are partner awards: one airline's miles on another airline's flights. Decide the cabin first: Air France-KLM Flying Blue wins economy, and from premium economy up, American AAdvantage does.
Airlines & Routing Options
On a connecting award, the airline named in the price table may fly only one leg, so confirm each segment's operator before moving points.
