Cheap flights from Gdansk to Vienna

April is the cheapest month on this route, and the reason is simple: the winter rush is over and spring demand has not caught up yet. Prices are listed for every month from September through July, so you can watch how the curve moves across the year. Summer is the busiest stretch, when Gdansk fills with Baltic coast visitors and Vienna with city-break travellers, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year are the second peak. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday flights, and because every itinerary connects, you get more departure times to choose from. Book a few weeks ahead in spring and autumn, and give yourself more room in summer.

No airline flies Gdansk to Vienna non-stop, so every carrier on this route sells a connecting itinerary. The low-cost names — Norwegian, Norwegian International, Eurowings and Air Baltic — usually price the seat on its own, with a checked bag and a chosen seat as extras. Full-service carriers such as LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Scandinavian Airlines tend to include a bag and hand you to a partner for the second leg. KLM Cityhopper, Cityjet and Helvetic Airways mostly show up on the shorter regional legs, so you may fly one of them on half the journey and a larger carrier on the other. Compare the total with the bag you actually need.

Vienna has one main airport, Schwechat Intl, and it sits southeast of the city — a short ride out rather than a long haul. Trains run from the terminal to the centre, with a fast dedicated airport train and the suburban rail as the slower, less expensive option; buses cover the same trip by road, and taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals. Give yourself time on the way back, because the airport is busy in the early morning and around the evening peak, and security queues stretch on Mondays and Fridays. If your connection lands late, check whether the last train still runs before you count on it.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm you are flying from Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the city's only airport, so the code on your ticket matches.
• Because nothing on this route is non-stop, treat the layover length as part of the journey, not a detail.
• If the legs are booked as separate tickets, a missed connection is yours to fix, so leave a real buffer between them.
• Add the checked bag and seat selection to a low-cost fare before comparing it with a full-service one.
• Check Austria's entry rules and make sure your travel document is valid for the whole trip.
• Start with April if your dates are flexible, then compare the shoulder weeks either side.
