Cheap flights from Bucharest to Gdansk

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar runs from September through July, so you can compare fares across most of the year before choosing a date. Autumn and late spring are the calm windows: the Baltic coast is still walkable and Gdansk is full of locals rather than visitors. Summer pushes fares up, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year are the other spike. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and booking a few weeks ahead beats leaving it to the last days.

Ryanair and Wizz Air are the budget names here, and both fly nonstop from Bucharest to Gdansk with hand luggage only in the base fare; a cabin bag, a checked bag and a seat choice all cost extra. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City Airlines, Swiss and Aegean Airlines sell full-service tickets that usually mean a connection through their own hubs, with a checked bag included. Wizz Air Malta, Norwegian and Norwegian International also appear on some dates. If the nonstop timings do not suit, compare a connecting full-service fare with a low-cost ticket plus bags before you decide.

Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport sits close to the city, a short ride from the old town rather than a long transfer, so you can land and be at your hotel quickly. Buses and trains link the terminal with the centre through the day, and taxis and ride-hailing pick up outside arrivals; check the airport's own pages for current times and stops, since they shift with the season. The terminal is compact and easy to walk, with car hire desks and a small selection of shops. If you land late, arrange your transfer in advance, because the last services thin out overnight.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Bucharest flies this route from Otopeni International, so check that your ticket does not send you to a different airport.
• On Ryanair and Wizz Air fares, add a cabin bag and a checked bag to the total before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• Direct flights exist, but if you book a connection, keep both legs on one ticket so the airline looks after you when the first is late.
• Carry a passport or identity card that Poland accepts, and check the current entry rules before you fly.
• October is the cheapest month here, so price a few dates around it before you commit.
• Winter weather in Gdansk can slow arrivals, so leave slack in your plans if you travel between December and February.
