Cheap flights from Gdansk to Toronto

April is the cheapest month to fly this route, and it comes just before the summer peak, when seats to Canada fill up and fares climb. Autumn is steady, the weeks around Christmas are the priciest stretch of the year, and late winter is usually the quietest. Midweek departures tend to cost less than weekend ones, and a Tuesday or Wednesday connection often has more empty seats. Book well ahead for summer and the holidays, because on a connecting route the cheaper fare classes go first and leaving it to the final days rarely helps.

Nobody flies Gdansk to Toronto non-stop, so every fare is a connection, and the airline you choose decides how the two legs fit together. LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Scandinavian Airlines, Icelandair, Lufthansa, KLM Cityhopper and Air Canada sell the whole trip on one ticket, which usually means a checked bag is part of the fare and the carrier looks after you if the first leg runs late. Wizz Air is the low-cost name in the list: the fare is small, bags and seat choice cost extra, and a separately booked ticket leaves you to sort out a missed connection yourself. Condor and Nordic Regional Airlines turn up on some routings as the shorter first hop.

Toronto has two airports and your ticket decides which one you land at. Pearson International takes the long-haul arrivals and sits well outside the city, so plan on a train, a bus, a taxi or a rideshare for the last stretch into town. Billy Bishop City A/P is the small downtown field, a short hop from the centre and convenient if your routing ends there, but it handles far fewer international arrivals. Check the airport on your booking before you arrange a pickup, and leave room after a long connection, since immigration at Pearson slows down when several big jets land together.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Your departure is from Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the only airport in the city, so there is no second one to weigh up.
• Every routing to Toronto changes planes at least once, so check the connection time and whether both legs sit on one ticket.
• If a low-cost leg such as Wizz Air is booked separately, bags and a missed connection are your problem, not the next airline's.
• Check Canada's entry requirements before you pay for anything, and make sure your travel documents are in order.
• April is the cheapest month on this route, so measure your dates against it before you commit.
• Confirm which Toronto airport you land at, Pearson International or Billy Bishop City A/P, because they are far apart.
