Cheap flights from Barcelona to Gdansk

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar shows how far it drops below the summer peak. July and August are the busiest, when school holidays in both countries push fares up; December and the Easter weeks fill early too. If your plans are flexible, midweek departures are usually quieter than Friday evenings and Sunday nights. In the low season you can often book a few weeks out, but for summer travel it pays to reserve earlier.

Nonstop flights are available on this route, and the low-cost carriers are the ones to watch when you are hunting a fare: Wizz Air, Ryanair, Easyjet and Vueling Airlines all work this kind of city pair. Wizz Air UK and Wizz Air Malta belong to the same group, so their cabin and checked baggage rules will look familiar. Full-service options such as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines and Iberia usually cost more but include a seat and a checked bag, and often route you through a hub instead of flying you straight there. On the low-cost tickets, expect to pay extra for anything beyond a small cabin bag.

Every flight on this route lands at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the city's only airport, so there is no second arrival point to worry about. It sits outside the centre, so plan the last leg before you fly: decide between a taxi and public transport, and check how late each runs if you land in the evening. Departures from Spain use Josep Tarradellas Barcelona airport. Allow extra time on the way back if you are travelling with a checked bag, and keep your onward plans flexible for the first hour after landing.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check what your low-cost fare includes — a small cabin bag is often the only thing in the price.
• On separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights; no airline will rebook you if the first one runs late.
• Confirm the entry rules for Poland for your passport or ID card, and make sure the document is valid for the whole trip.
• Compare October with the month you had in mind on the price calendar; the gap is often worth changing dates for.
• Weigh a nonstop flight against a cheaper connecting itinerary, and compare total journey time, not just the fare.
• Book your transfer from Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport in advance if you land late in the evening.
