Cheap flights from Prague to Gdansk

October is the cheapest month on this route, and it's usually the sweet spot for a break in either city: Gdansk's summer crowds have thinned, and Prague is quiet before its Christmas market season begins. September and November often sit close behind October on the price calendar, so if October doesn't fit your plans, the shoulder weeks either side are worth a look. Summer is the busiest stretch, especially around school holidays, and December fills up again for the Christmas markets in both cities. Midweek departures are usually gentler on the wallet than Friday evenings or Sunday nights, and booking a few weeks ahead beats waiting for a last-minute deal.

This route mixes low-cost and full-service carriers. Ryanair and Wizz Air are the low-cost regulars, with Easyjet, Transavia Airlines and Norwegian International selling the same kind of ticket: a seat, a small cabin bag, and everything else priced separately. LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Lufthansa and Scandinavian Airlines are the full-service names, and their fares often mean a connection through a hub rather than a nonstop. Direct flights exist between Prague and Gdansk, so check whether the fare in front of you is nonstop or routed through a hub before you compare. That difference matters more than the airline logo.

Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport is the only airport serving the city, so there's no wrong-airport risk at this end. It sits outside the centre, and the usual ways in are the local train, a bus or a taxi; the train is the easiest option if you're staying anywhere near the main station. Summer is the busiest time, when several flights can land close together and baggage reclaim slows down, so leave yourself room on arrival day. If you're heading on along the coast, check whether your onward transport leaves from the airport or from the city centre. A hire car works too, but parking around the old town is tight, and most visitors manage without one.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Look at October first if your dates are flexible, then compare the shoulder months either side of it.
• On a low-cost ticket, price your checked bag and seat before you compare it with a full-service fare.
• If your itinerary connects through a hub, make sure both legs sit on one booking so a delay does not strand you.
• Carry a valid passport or national ID card for Poland and check the entry rules that apply to your nationality.
• Book well ahead for summer and December, when Gdansk draws the most visitors.
• Decide whether you want a nonstop or a cheaper connection before you book, because the two are sold side by side on this route.
