Cheap flights from Gdansk to Barcelona

Fares on this route follow the sun. October comes out cheapest in the data, when the Polish autumn sets in and Catalonia is still mild enough for a light jacket. Summer is the opposite: July and August carry school-holiday demand from both ends and fares climb. Late spring and early autumn tend to balance weather and price. Midweek departures are usually kinder to your budget than weekend ones, so shifting your trip by a day can pay. Book early for summer and around Polish and Spanish public holidays, when seats fill fast. The price calendar covers every month from September through August, so you can compare before you commit.

Several carriers sell this route. Wizz Air, Ryanair and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names, where the headline fare covers your seat and little else, with bags and seat choice as extras. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines are the full-service options, and their tickets more often include a checked bag and refreshments. Norwegian and Norwegian International are harder to place, so read the fare rules rather than assuming what is included. German Airways and Braathens Regional Aviation also appear on this pair. Direct flights exist here, so filter for a non-stop if a short journey matters more to you than the fare.

Your flight lands at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona airport, which sits outside the city, so treat the transfer as part of the trip rather than a quick walk to your hotel. The usual ways in are the train and metro, the airport bus and taxis, and the journey takes a while, especially at rush hour. Late arrivals are worth planning: check when the last train or metro leaves before you pick a hotel on the far side of town. The terminals are large and busy in summer, so allow time for bags and for finding your onward connection if you are heading further along the coast.

• On Wizz Air and Ryanair, add up the cabin bag and checked bag fees before you compare the total with a full-service fare.
