Cheap flights from Brussels to Gdansk

January is when fares on this route tend to dip, which makes it the month to watch if your dates are flexible. Winter here means short days and cold, grey weather in both cities, but the price calendar stays kind from late autumn through early spring. Summer and the run-up to the holidays push prices up, and August is missing from the months we track, so book earlier if that is when you want to go. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, usually undercut Friday and Sunday returns. Keep an eye on Belgian and Polish public holidays and school breaks, because those weeks fill fast.

There is no direct service, so every itinerary comes with a stop, usually in a hub such as Amsterdam, Warsaw, Copenhagen or Zurich. Brussels Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are the full-service names you will see most, with bags and seat selection either in the fare or sold as add-ons. LOT Polish Airlines is the natural pick if you route through Warsaw, while Scandinavian Airlines and Norwegian cover the northern connections. On the low-cost side, Easyjet, Transavia Airlines, Vueling Airlines and Helvetic Airways keep the base fare small, but cabin bags, checked bags and seats together all cost extra. Compare the total, not the headline fare.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the only airport serving the city, set a short drive or train ride southwest of the Old Town. The local train and the airport bus both run into the centre, and taxis and ride-hailing apps are easy to find outside arrivals. If you are heading on to Sopot or the coast resorts, check which direction your transport runs before you buy a ticket, because the coastal line and the city line are not the same. Late arrivals can mean thinner bus and train schedules, so look at the last connections before you book a flight that lands after dark. The terminal is small and easy to walk in a few minutes.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two, because separate tickets mean you carry your bags and cover a missed leg yourself.
• Confirm the baggage allowance on the low-cost carriers, where a cabin bag is often the only thing included.
• Allow enough time at the connecting airport, since every itinerary on this route involves a change of plane.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Poland and check the entry rules before you fly.
• Book early if you are travelling around the winter holidays or in summer, when seats go first.
• Compare the total with bags and seats added, not just the fare shown first.
