Cheap flights from Hamburg to Gdansk

October is the cheapest month on this route, and fares usually ease once the summer crowds have gone and hold steady through late autumn. Spring and early summer cost more, and the weeks around Christmas and the New Year are the priciest part of winter. Midweek departures tend to undercut Friday and Sunday flights, so shifting your trip by a day or two often helps. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and summer travel, and earlier than that if you need a specific departure time.

Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost names on this route, and their fares usually cover a seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage and seat selection costing extra. Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines and Lufthansa are the full-service options, where a fare generally includes a checked bag and a connection through a hub is possible. Norwegian, Norwegian International, Cityjet and Braathens Regional Aviation also show up in results, often on connecting itineraries. Direct flights exist here, so filter for them if you would rather not change planes.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, which sits a short drive from the city centre rather than far out in the countryside. Buses, taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual ways into town, with stops and a taxi rank close to arrivals. Late arrivals are the thing to watch, since the last buses leave well before the last flights land, so check the timetable against your arrival time or book a transfer ahead. Allow a little extra time if your plans start the same evening.
