Cheap flights from Gdansk to Bogota

April is the cheapest month on this route, and the fare calendar covers September through June — the middle of the year sits outside that window, so spring and autumn are where the value is. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and the same holds for the return leg. Around Christmas and New Year the cabins fill with people heading home in both directions, so book early if you must travel then. For an April trip, start watching fares a few months out rather than a few weeks.

None of the carriers selling this route fly it non-stop, so every ticket is a connecting one. Wizz Air is the low-cost name here, and its fares are unbundled — bags and seat choice come as extras. Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Air Canada, Turkish Airlines, Finnair, American Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines are full-service, which usually means more is included on the long-haul leg and the whole trip can sit on one ticket. Nordic Regional Airlines tends to show up as a feeder on the first leg. Compare what each fare actually includes before you look at the total.

El Dorado is the airport you land at, and it is the only one serving Bogota, so there is no second airport to mix it up with. It sits outside the city centre, and the ride in takes a while in traffic — build that into your plans if you have a connection onward or a hotel check-in to catch. Official taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual ways in, and a bus network runs to town if you would rather spend less; agree the fare or set the trip in the app before you get in. Bogota is the capital and a major arrival point for the country, so immigration queues can be long. Keep your onward address handy for the form.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that you are leaving from Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport — the city has only one, so there is nothing to mix up.
• Add up the baggage allowance on each leg, because a low-cost first flight and a full-service long-haul may not match.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave a generous buffer for the connection, since nobody will rebook you when the first flight runs late.
• Book the whole trip on one ticket if you want the airline to look after you when a connection goes wrong.
• Confirm your passport and any entry requirements for Colombia well before you fly.
• Decide whether April suits you, or whether a date in the autumn or winter price window is easier.
