Cheap flights from Vienna to Gdansk

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers September through July, so that is the window worth studying before you commit. Summer is the busy stretch in Gdansk, when the coast fills up and fares out of Vienna climb; late autumn and the quieter weeks after the New Year are calmer and kinder to your budget. Flying midweek instead of at the weekend usually widens your choice of connections, and the days around Christmas, Easter and Polish public holidays are the ones to book well ahead or avoid altogether.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every ticket pairs two carriers or one carrier with a stop at a hub. LOT Polish Airlines, Austrian, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines and Air Dolomiti are the full-service names here, where a bag and a seat are usually part of the fare. Norwegian, Norwegian International, Braathens Regional Aviation and Cityjet sit at the leaner end, where the ticket buys the seat and little else, so read what is included before you add anything. Mixing a low-cost leg with a full-service one is common, so check that both legs sit on one booking.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the airport serving the city, a short ride from the old town and the waterfront. Buses and trains run between the terminal and the centre through the day, and taxis and ride-hailing are easy to find outside arrivals; the trip is short enough that most people head straight into town rather than staying near the airport. If a late connection is on the cards, check the last bus or train before you book, and have a card or some local currency ready for the ticket machine. Allow a little extra time on arrival if you are travelling on with a group or heavy bags.
