Cheap flights from Vilnius to Gdansk

January is the cheapest month for this route, and the fares stay low through the darker part of winter. Autumn and early spring are quiet too, with fewer travellers and more room to choose your day. Summer is the busiest stretch, when the Baltic coast fills up and prices climb, so book early if that is when you want to go. Midweek departures usually cost less than Friday and Sunday flights. Around Christmas and New Year, and during school breaks, seats sell out well in advance, so decide before the rush starts.

Wizz Air is the low-cost name you will see most often here, and Norwegian and Norwegian International also sell budget-style fares. LOT Polish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Finnair, Lufthansa and Air Baltic are the full-service choices, while Cityjet and Nordic Regional Airlines tend to appear on regional legs. Direct services exist on the route, but several carriers sell one-stop itineraries instead, so read the routing before you pay. Baggage and seat rules differ between the low-cost and full-service fares, so check what is included rather than comparing the headline fare alone.

Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport sits close to the city, so the transfer into the centre is short whichever way you go. A local train runs between the airport and the main station, and buses cover the same stretch for those who prefer to pay on board. Taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside the terminal, and the ride into the old town takes a modest amount of time. If you land late, check the last train and bus times before you leave the terminal, because the schedule thins out after the evening. The airport also serves Sopot and the rest of the coast, so check whether your stop is closer than the city centre.
