Cheap flights from Gdansk to Hamburg

October is the cheapest month on this route, so if your dates are open, start there. Fares are listed for every month from September through August, which means you can weigh a winter weekend against a summer one before you commit. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and the school holidays plus the Christmas and New Year stretch are when seats go first. Book a few weeks ahead for summer and around the holidays; outside those windows, waiting rarely helps much on a route this well served.

Several carriers fly between Gdansk and Hamburg. Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost names, selling simple point-to-point tickets where you add only what you need. LOT Polish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with its KLM Cityhopper partner, Norwegian, Norwegian International, Air Baltic and Eurowings make up the rest, and some of them sell connections through their hubs instead of a direct seat. Compare the total rather than the headline fare, since a low-cost ticket with a checked bag can end up costing more than a full-service fare that includes one.

Hamburg Airport sits a short ride from the city centre, with suburban trains and buses running into town through the day. The terminal is compact, so you are usually out quickly once you clear arrivals. If you land late, check the last connection before you book your flight, because the trains thin out at night. Taxis and ride-hailing wait at the terminal, and a hire car only makes sense if you plan to head out of the city. Keep your onward plan in mind when you pick a departure time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check that your fare is a direct Gdansk to Hamburg flight and not a connection through another hub.
• On Ryanair and Wizz Air, confirm what the ticket includes before you add a bag or a seat.
• If you book the legs on separate tickets, leave plenty of time between them, because a missed connection is yours to fix.
• Carry a passport or national ID card, since you still need valid documents even though Poland and Germany are both in Schengen.
• Fly in October if your dates are open, and check the price calendar before you settle on a month.
• Gdansk has a single airport, so you only need to confirm your departure time, not which airport to use.
