Cheap flights from Gdansk to Warsaw

December is the cheapest month to fly this route, so if your plans are flexible, that is the one to aim for. Prices drift through the rest of the year, with the summer months and the run-up to the winter holidays generally the busiest. Midweek departures are usually calmer than Friday evenings and Sunday nights, when people head home or back to work. Book a few weeks ahead for the quieter months, and check the price calendar as your dates get closer, since domestic fares on this pair can move quickly.

Several carriers serve this route. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service name you will see most often between the two cities, while Norwegian and Norwegian International are the low-cost options. Scandinavian Airlines, Finnair and KLM Cityhopper also appear, alongside Braathens Regional Aviation, Nordic Regional Airlines, Cityjet and German Airways. The difference that matters is what the fare includes: low-cost tickets usually cover a seat and a small personal item, with bags and seat choice sold separately, while full-service fares more often bundle a checked bag and better flexibility. Read the fare conditions before you choose.

Warsaw has two airports, and which one you land at shapes the rest of your journey. F. Chopin sits close to the city centre, with a rail link and buses running into town and taxis outside the terminal. Modlin is well outside the city to the north, so allow more time and plan a bus or a pre-booked transfer rather than assuming a quick taxi ride. Check your booking carefully, because the airport code on your ticket is the one that counts, and late arrivals can leave you with fewer transport options. If you are continuing by train or metro, work out the connection before you land.

• Check which Warsaw airport your flight uses, since F. Chopin and Modlin are not interchangeable.
• Look at what your fare includes before you add a bag, especially on the low-cost tickets.
• If you are connecting, make sure it is one booking rather than two separate tickets.
• Check what photo ID you need to carry, since this is a domestic route and the requirements differ from international flights.
• Book early if you are travelling in December, the cheapest month, or around the winter holidays.
• Leave extra time at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport when departing at peak times.
