Cheap flights from Gdansk to Tokyo

May is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the one to aim for if your dates are flexible. The page shows fares for every month, so run the calendar from September through August and compare before you commit. Midweek departures usually cost less than weekend ones, and Tuesday or Wednesday flights out of Gdansk tend to be quieter. Watch early May in Japan: the national holiday run fills seats quickly even though fares are at their lowest, so book that window well ahead. Late autumn and winter are cheaper on the Polish side but can mean longer layovers in northern hubs. Summer is peak at both ends of the route.

No airline flies Gdansk to Tokyo non-stop, so every ticket involves a change, and the airline mix shows you where. LOT Polish Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines keep you in Europe for the first leg, Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways route through Istanbul or Doha, and Japan Airlines often takes the long leg into Tokyo. Braathens Regional Aviation, Cityjet, KLM Cityhopper, German Airways and Nordic Regional Airlines show up on the shorter feeder legs. These are full-service carriers rather than low-cost ones, so a checked bag and meals usually come with the long-haul fare, while the regional leg may have tighter cabin limits. Book the legs on separate tickets and nothing is through-checked.

Tokyo has two airports and your ticket decides which one you get. Haneda sits close to the centre, with rail and monorail links that put you in town quickly; Narita is well outside the city and the ride in takes considerably longer by train or bus. Check the airport code before you book, because a connection that lands at one and leaves from the other means a long cross-city transfer. Both airports have late services, but the last trains run in the evening, so a very late arrival may mean a bus or a taxi. If your onward plans start early the next morning, Haneda saves you time.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Tokyo airport your ticket uses, Haneda or Narita, since they sit on opposite sides of the city.
• Confirm that both legs sit on one ticket, so a missed connection is the airline's problem and your bag is checked through.
• Look at the layover length in the hub, because a short change on separate tickets leaves you carrying the risk.
• Read the baggage allowance on the regional leg, as smaller aircraft often have tighter cabin limits.
• Check your passport validity and the entry rules for Japan well before departure.
• Compare May against the rest of the calendar, since May is the cheapest month on this route.
