Cheap flights from Gdansk to Atlanta

December is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the one the price calendar flags first. Fares are listed from September through June, so that is the window to compare; the high-summer weeks are not priced here yet. Late autumn and the first half of winter are the calm stretch, and midweek departures from Gdansk are easier to pair with a long-haul connection than weekend ones. The days around Christmas and New Year are the exception to December's low fares, so if those dates matter, book well ahead. Spring in Atlanta is mild, which makes April and May a fair compromise between weather and price.

There is no non-stop service, so the airline list here is really a choice of connection. LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, Swiss, Scandinavian Airlines, Finnair and Icelandair are the full-service names, and their tickets usually bundle more on the long leg. Eurowings, Braathens Regional Aviation and Nordic Regional Airlines sit at the lighter end of the market, where the fare is smaller and the extras come separately. Mixing a light first leg with a full-service long leg is normal on this route, so compare what each ticket actually includes before you add up the total.

Hartsfield Jackson is the airport you will use on the Atlanta side, and it sits a short ride south of downtown. A metro rail line runs from the terminal into the centre, and taxis, rideshares and hotel shuttles pick up outside arrivals. Because you arrive from Europe, you clear US immigration and customs here, so allow time after landing rather than counting on a tight onward plan. Baggage is often re-checked after customs, so keep your tags within reach until you are through.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is the only departure point, so the airport worth double-checking is the one where you change planes.
• On the lighter carriers, add a checked bag to the fare before you compare it with a full-service ticket.
• If the legs are booked as separate tickets, a missed connection is on you, so leave a generous buffer at the hub.
• Check US entry rules and make sure your passport and any visa or waiver cover the whole trip.
• December is the cheapest month, but the days around Christmas and New Year sell out early.
• Compare a northern connection with one through continental Europe, since the layover decides how long the journey really feels.
