Cheap flights from Stuttgart to Gdansk

December is the cheapest month on this route, and fares stay low through the winter into January and February. Autumn and spring sit in the middle, while the summer months and the run-up to the holidays cost more. Midweek departures are usually quieter than Friday and Sunday, when weekend visitors and business travellers fill the connecting flights. If your dates are flexible, work through the price calendar across the winter months before you commit. Book early for the Christmas period and the weeks around Easter, when Polish families fly home and seats into Gdansk go quickly.

Two low-cost carriers do most of the work here: Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, with Eurowings also serving the route. The rest are full-service names — Lufthansa Cityline, LOT Polish Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its KLM Cityhopper partner, Scandinavian Airlines, Air Dolomiti and Air Baltic — and they sell the trip as a connection rather than a nonstop. On the low-cost tickets you pay extra for a checked bag and for choosing a seat, and the cabin allowance is tight. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and let you rebook, which matters when a connection is at risk.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, which sits a short drive from the centre of Gdansk. A taxi or a ride-hailing car gets you in quickest, while the local train and the airport bus also run into the city and take longer with luggage. The terminal is compact, so you are usually through baggage reclaim and out quickly outside the busiest arrivals. If Gdansk is only your first stop and you are heading further along the coast, sort out your onward transport before you land, since options thin out late in the evening.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Every itinerary from Stuttgart to Gdansk involves at least one change, so check the connection time before you commit.
• On Wizz Air and Eurowings tickets, add the cabin bag and any checked luggage to the fare you see, because the basic price covers very little.
• If the legs are sold separately, a missed connection is your problem and not the airline's, so leave a generous gap.
• Carry your passport or national identity card, since you are crossing into Poland and may be asked for it at the gate.
• December is the cheapest month, so compare it against the summer fares before you fix your dates.
