Cheap flights from Gdansk to Tel Aviv Yafo

December is the cheapest month on this route, so if your plans are flexible, start your search there. Winter is low season at both ends: fewer people leave the Polish coast and Tel Aviv Yafo is cooler and wetter, which is why fares drop. Spring, the summer holidays and the weeks around Jewish and Polish public holidays push prices up. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones. For winter travel, booking a few weeks ahead is usually enough; for spring and summer, book earlier.

No airline flies this route nonstop, so every itinerary is a connection. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost options: your fare covers a seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage, seat choice and food added at a cost. LOT Polish Airlines, El Al Israel Airlines, Swiss, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Air Baltic and Helvetic Airways are full-service, usually with a checked bag and meals included and more flexibility if plans change. Whichever you pick, look at the transfer time, because a short connection through a hub leaves less room when the first flight runs late.

You land at Ben Gurion International, the country's main gateway and the airport serving Tel Aviv Yafo. It sits close to the city by road, though traffic can stretch the transfer, especially on Friday afternoons before the weekend. The airport train is the easiest way into the centre, and shared taxis and buses cover the same trip. Official taxis wait at the rank outside arrivals; agree the fare or make sure the meter runs. On the way home, security interviews at Ben Gurion can take a while, so leave a wide margin before your flight.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether both legs sit on one ticket, since separate bookings leave you carrying the risk of a missed connection.
• On Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, add checked bags and seats at booking, where it is cheaper than at the airport.
• All Gdansk departures leave from Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, so plan your transfer to the terminal.
• Confirm the entry rules and passport validity for Israel before you pay, as they can change.
• Compare December fares with the shoulder months, because the cheapest month is not always the obvious one.
