Cheap flights from Gdansk to Dusseldorf

January is when fares on this route usually drop to their lowest, so it pays to plan a winter trip if your dates are flexible. Spring and autumn sit in the middle, while the summer school holidays and the run-up to Christmas cost more. Midweek departures on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday tend to be lighter on the wallet than Friday evenings or Sunday returns. Watch the calendar around Polish and German public holidays, when seats in both directions go quickly, and book a few weeks ahead for December, when the Christmas markets pull visitors into Dusseldorf.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name on the route, and Eurowings flies it as well, with fares that keep extras separate. Full-service options include LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa, while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian International, Air Baltic and Braathens Regional Aviation usually mean a connection through a hub instead of a non-stop hop. What you get differs by ticket: low-cost fares tend to cover a small cabin bag only, with checked luggage and seat choice added later, while full-service fares usually include more, though the details vary by fare type. Read the fare rules before you pay, especially if you plan to check a suitcase.

Dusseldorf has two airports and they are not interchangeable. Dusseldorf International Airport sits close to the city, with suburban trains and buses running into the centre and the main station, so the transfer is short and easy. Weeze Airport lies well outside the city, out toward the Dutch border, and reaching Dusseldorf from there takes a coach or a train connection plus a longer ride, so allow plenty of time and check the last connection of the day. Read your ticket carefully before you book the onward leg — a cheap fare into Weeze can cost you more in travel time than a slightly higher one into Dusseldorf International.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which airport your ticket names in Dusseldorf, since Dusseldorf International and Weeze are far apart and not interchangeable.
• Look at what your low-cost fare includes, because cabin bag sizes and checked luggage are sold separately from the seat.
• If your itinerary has a connection, make sure both legs sit on one ticket so a delay does not leave you rebooking.
• Carry a valid passport or national ID card, since travel between Poland and Germany crosses a border.
• Start with January if your dates are flexible, since fares on this route are at their lowest then.
• Book well ahead for December, when the Christmas markets fill Dusseldorf and seats go quickly.
