Cheap flights from Cairo to Gdansk

September is the month this route prices lowest, and the calendar shows fares for it alongside October, November, December, January, March, July and August. Late spring and the summer weeks are the busiest, so book those further ahead. Winter is quieter and cheaper outside the December holidays, though cold Baltic weather and short daylight come with it. Midweek departures and early connections out of Cairo usually cost less than weekend ones.

No airline flies this pair non-stop, so the list below is really a list of connections. Eurowings and Transavia Airlines are the low-cost names here, and on those fares you are usually buying a seat and a cabin bag, with anything checked added at booking. Lufthansa, Austrian, Air France, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Egyptair and LOT Polish Airlines are the full-service options, and their fares usually include more, but read the fare rules before you pick. Which hub you pass through shapes the trip: LOT Polish Airlines goes via Warsaw, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways via their Gulf hubs, and the European carriers via their home cities.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the only airport serving the city, and it sits close to Gdansk by the standards of big hubs. A train and a bus both run between the terminal and the centre, and taxis wait outside arrivals. The ride into the old town is short, so a taxi will not eat much of your budget. If your connection lands late, check the last train and bus times before you count on public transport. Gdansk is also the gateway to the Tricity coast, so plenty of travellers carry on to Sopot or Gdynia from the same station.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Add a checked bag at booking on Eurowings and Transavia fares, because it costs more at the airport.
• If your trip is booked as two separate tickets, leave a long buffer between the flights, since a missed connection is yours to sort out.
• Check your passport and any visa or entry rules for Poland before you book, not the week you fly.
• Book July, August and the December holidays early, and keep September in mind if you want the lowest fare of the year.
• Compare total journey time, not just the fare, because the lowest fare often means a long wait in a hub.
