Cheap flights from Seoul to Gdansk

March is the cheapest month on this route, and it is the one to watch if price matters more to you than weather. Fares are listed for September through July, so late summer and autumn are priced as well, and those months suit anyone who wants milder temperatures in Gdansk before the Baltic winter sets in. Winter departures from Seoul get quieter after the New Year, while spring and early autumn fill up with business travellers and students. Midweek departures usually price lower than weekend ones, and booking a few months ahead leaves you more room to choose a connection you actually like.

There is no low-cost carrier here, so every ticket is sold by a full-service airline: LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air France, Finnair, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Korean Air and China Eastern Airlines. All of them fly it as a connecting itinerary, which means the name on the fuselage matters less than the fare family you pick — a light ticket can leave out checked baggage or seat selection even on a premium network carrier. Compare what each fare includes, how long the layover runs, and whether the whole trip sits on one ticket, because that is where the real difference between these carriers shows up.

Flights land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the only airport serving the city, so there is no second gateway to weigh up. It sits close to the centre — a short ride rather than a long transfer — and taxis, ride-hailing apps and public transport all run into town from the terminal. Landing late is the thing to plan for: check the last connection into the city before you commit to an evening arrival, and if you are travelling onward, arrange that transfer from the airport rather than from central Gdansk.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you are leaving from Gimpo International or Incheon International, because Seoul has two airports and they are not interchangeable.
• Confirm what your fare includes, since checked baggage is often a separate line on a connecting long-haul.
• Look at the layover length and whether the whole journey is on one ticket or two separate bookings.
• Check the entry rules for Poland and make sure your passport stays valid well beyond your travel dates.
• Book early if you want March, the cheapest month, because the low fares there go first.
• Compare total journey time, not just the fare, since a cheap connection can add hours to the trip.
