Cheap flights from Tel Aviv Yafo to Gdansk

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar shows fares for most of the year, from September through April and again in June and July. Late autumn and winter are quiet on the Baltic, with short days and cold wind off the sea, while summer brings the crowds and the highest demand. If your dates are flexible, Tuesday and Wednesday departures usually cost less than Thursday and Friday ones, when weekend travellers fill the planes. Watch the Jewish holidays in Israel and the Polish holiday periods around Christmas and Easter, which push fares up on connecting itineraries. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips, and earlier for summer.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every option is a connection, usually through a hub in Europe or the eastern Mediterranean. Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK and Electra Airways are the low-cost names here: expect a bare ticket, with cabin and checked bags, seat choice and food charged on top. Lufthansa, Swiss, LOT Polish Airlines, Aegean Airlines, ITA Airways and Brussels Airlines are full-service, so a checked bag and a meal are normally part of the fare, and a delay on one leg is handled for you. On a low-cost connection the two legs are often separate bookings, which changes what you pay and what you are owed if something goes wrong.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the only airport serving the city, a short ride from the centre. Taxis and ride-hailing take around half an hour, while train and bus services run from the terminal to the main station through the day. The airport is small and easy to walk through, so passport control and baggage usually move quickly. If your connection was booked as separate tickets, allow plenty of time on the way out, and remember that winter weather in northern Poland can slow road traffic into town. Gdansk's old town is compact and walkable once you get there.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that your departure is from Ben Gurion International, the only airport serving Tel Aviv Yafo.
• On Wizz Air, Wizz Air Malta, Wizz Air UK or Electra Airways, add the bags you need before you pay, since the basic fare includes little.
• If the legs are booked separately, leave a long gap and check whether you must collect and re-check your bags.
• Carry your passport and check current entry rules for Poland, plus transit rules for your connecting country.
• Compare October with the summer months on the price calendar, since October is the cheapest month here.
• Every option is a connection, so a morning departure usually gets you into Gdansk the same day.
