Cheap flights Copenhagen to Gdansk

September is when fares on this route tend to sit at their lowest, with the summer crowds gone and the Baltic still mild. October and November bring grey, wet weather in both cities, though the price calendar stays kind. December fills up around Christmas and New Year, when Danes and Poles travel home to family, so book those weeks early. January and February are quiet and cold, often the calmest time to find a seat. Weekday departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, usually cost less than Friday evenings and Sunday nights. Spring picks up again after Easter, and the summer months are the busiest on the route.

Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost names you will see most often here, and both charge extra for anything beyond a small cabin bag, so read the fare rules before you commit. Norwegian, Scandinavian Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines fly the route too, and their tickets usually include a checked bag and a seat you can choose. Scandinavian Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines also sell connections through their hubs, which helps when the non-stop times do not suit you. KLM Cityhopper shows up on itineraries that route through Amsterdam, so those trips take longer but sometimes cost less. Low-cost fares rarely include food or a reserved seat, while full-service tickets generally do.

Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is the only airport serving the city, and it sits a short ride from the centre, close enough that a taxi is realistic after a late landing. Buses and a local rail link run between the terminal and the city, and they are the cheap way in if you travel light. Allow extra time on the way back, as the terminal gets busy in the early morning when the low-cost departures cluster. Check which terminal your flight uses before you arrange a pickup, and confirm the last bus time if you land late.
