Cheap flights from Zurich to Gdansk

November is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar here shows fares for every month from September through July. Late autumn and the depths of winter are the quiet stretches, while summer and the run-up to Christmas and New Year fill up first. Midweek departures are usually gentler on the wallet than Friday and Sunday flights. If your dates are flexible, start with November and work outward; if a Swiss or Polish school break is fixed for you, book earlier than you think you need to. Warsaw and Krakow are also served from Zurich if your plans are still open.

LOT Polish Airlines and Swiss are the full-service names you will see most often on this route, while Easyjet, Norwegian and Vueling cover the low-cost end of the market. Scandinavian Airlines, KLM, ITA Airways, Eurowings and Helvetic Airways also appear in the results. Some of these sell non-stop seats, others route you through a hub, so read the itinerary before you compare fares. What is included differs too: low-cost tickets usually mean paying extra for a checked bag and a seat, while full-service fares tend to bundle baggage and give you more room to change plans.

You land at Gdansk Lech Walesa Airport, the airport that serves Gdansk and the coast around it. It sits a short ride from the centre rather than far out in the countryside, so the transfer into town is quick. Buses and the local rail line run into the city, and taxis and ride-hailing apps wait at the arrivals door. If you land late, check the last bus or train of the day before you book, because services thin out after the evening. The terminal is compact, so you clear it faster than you would at a major hub, which helps when you are planning the rest of your day.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Zurich has a single main airport, so there is no second departure point to mix up when you book.
• On Easyjet, Norwegian and Vueling fares, check whether a checked bag is included or added at extra cost.
• If your trip mixes airlines or two separate tickets, leave room for a missed connection, because nothing is protected.
• Switzerland and Poland both sit in Schengen, so a valid ID card or passport is enough for the journey.
• Weigh the non-stop option against a connecting fare, since the saving is not always worth the extra hours.
• November is the cheapest month here and August is missing from the price calendar, so shift your dates if you can.
