Cheap flights from Dusseldorf to Gdansk

June is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also when Gdansk starts to feel like summer. July and August are the busiest, so if you want to travel then, book well ahead. Spring and autumn are calmer: September and October often bring lower fares and quieter streets in the Old Town. Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday, usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights. Keep an eye on Polish public holidays and the Christmas season, when seats fill with people visiting family, and on German school breaks, which push demand up from Dusseldorf.

Several carriers fly this route, so the choice comes down to price, timing and what is included. Easyjet, Norwegian, Eurowings and Air Baltic are the low-cost side of the mix, and they sell their fares in different ways, so read what a ticket covers before you compare. Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines are the network carriers, useful when you want a connection through a hub and a single ticket for the whole trip. German Airways and Cityjet also appear on the route. Direct flights exist, but connecting options can be cheaper.

Flights land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the airport that serves the city. It sits a short ride from the centre, so the transfer is quick whichever way you travel. Buses and trains run between the terminal and the city, and taxis wait outside arrivals. If you land late, check the last connections before you book, because services thin out overnight. Once you are in town, the Old Town and the waterfront are easy to reach on foot, which makes a short break simple to plan. Travellers flying from Weeze should remember that it is a small airport with fewer facilities than Dusseldorf International.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which Dusseldorf airport you fly from, because Dusseldorf International and Weeze sit far apart.
• Check what your low-cost fare includes, since a cabin bag may cost extra on Easyjet, Norwegian or Eurowings.
• Allow enough time if you book separate tickets and connect through a hub instead of flying direct.
• Carry a valid passport or ID card for Poland and check the entry rules before you fly.
• Book early for June and the summer holidays, when fares to Gdansk climb.
• Compare the whole journey, not just the ticket, when one airport is closer to home.
