Cheap flights from Abu Dhabi to Gdansk

February is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar on this page shows how the rest of the season compares. Fares are listed from September through March, with the sharpest rises around Christmas, New Year and the Polish winter school break. Midweek departures tend to undercut weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead helps when every option involves a connection. Late spring and summer are peak season on the Baltic coast, so if your dates are flexible, keep them in the colder months.

No airline flies Abu Dhabi to Gdansk nonstop, and no budget carrier appears on the route either, so the choice is between full-service and leisure airlines, all of them connecting. Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways route you through their Gulf hubs, Turkish Airlines through Istanbul, Saudi Arabian Airlines through its Saudi gateways, Egyptair through Cairo, LOT Polish Airlines through Warsaw and British Airways through London. Condor, a German leisure carrier, sells seasonal connections. What each ticket includes varies by airline and fare type, so compare baggage and meals per leg rather than the headline fare.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the city's airport and the gateway to the Tricity of Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia. It sits a short ride from the centre, so a taxi or ride-hailing car gets you into town quickly, and local bus and rail services run towards the main stations. Watch the clock on late arrivals: a connection through Warsaw or Istanbul can put you on the ground after the frequent services stop, so check the timetable before you choose a flight. If you are heading to Sopot or Gdynia, the airport is already on that side of the city.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you are departing from Abu Dhabi International, the city's airport for scheduled flights.
• On a connecting itinerary, confirm whether your bags are checked through to Gdansk or must be collected and re-checked in transit.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave a generous buffer, because a missed connection is then your problem, not the airline's.
• Compare baggage allowances per fare, since the lighter fares on this route often charge extra for a checked bag.
• Check entry and visa rules for Poland for your passport, and make sure it has enough validity left.
• Book early if you want February fares, and avoid the Christmas and New Year weeks if price matters more than dates.
