Cheap flights from Boston to Gdansk

January is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the winter window around it is where fares drop. The fare calendar covers September through February and then April through July, so if your dates are flexible, start there. Spring and summer cost more, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year are the busiest of the year on both sides of the Atlantic. Midweek departures are usually quieter and cheaper than weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead helps most when you are connecting.

No low-cost carrier flies Boston to Gdansk, and nothing goes nonstop. Your options are full-service airlines: Icelandair, United Airlines, Lufthansa, Air Canada and Air Canada Jazz, Scandinavian Airlines, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, American Airlines and Swiss. Each one routes you through its own hub, so the number of stops and the total travel time vary more than the fare difference between them. On full-service tickets a carry-on is normally included, but the lightest fare families may charge for a checked bag, and on an itinerary sold by two airlines the baggage rules of the first one usually decide. Compare the whole journey, not just the first leg.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the airport that serves the city, named after the former Polish president. It sits a short drive from the centre of Gdansk, and taxis, ride-hailing apps and public transport all cover the trip into town. Allow extra time if you arrive late at night, when the bus and rail options thin out. Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia sit close together, so check which one your accommodation is in before you arrange a transfer, and if your connection is tight, the airport is small enough to walk through quickly.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you are leaving from Logan International, the Boston airport this route uses.
• Look at the whole itinerary, not just the first leg, because every Boston to Gdansk ticket involves at least one change.
• Confirm what your fare includes, since the lightest tickets on these full-service airlines may not cover a checked bag.
• If a booking site splits your trip across two airlines, check whether the bags are through-checked and who rebooks you after a delay.
• Make sure your passport and any entry documents for Poland are valid well beyond your travel dates.
• Compare January fares with the spring and summer months before you commit, and check the connection time at each hub.
