Flight Advice for travel to Gdańsk

I am looking at that itinerary dilemma for a trip I am planning to Gdansk to visit a friend, and I am considering flying to Warsaw, and then catch a train to Gdansk...and then I plan to spend more time in Poland (have never been), and I will either fly home from Warsaw, or I will extend the trip to neighboring countries and fly home from somewhere else...

What US airport are you starting from?

I was looking at this itinerary earlier this year. I found as expected no direct flights from the US to Gdansk, but could have booked one ticket via United and Delta, with connecting flights (KLM or Lufthansa) in Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Munich. Gdansk is a large city, so they're not necessarily small regional jets.

Book a multi-city fare so it will all be on one ticket: Home>Gdansk, Krakow>Home

Or maybe fly to Berlin and rail from there is an option.

Just look at the total flight time with connecting flights, and avoid the long layovers.

Look at flights on United - they partner with both Lufthansa and LOT Polish Airlines, so they may have better options to Poland. But DFW apparently not a United hub, so additional connections may be needed.

We are starting at DFW. Live in Dallas, so that is why we always use American. Willing to use other airlines from European cities, AMS, FRA, whatever makes sense.

bjdaniell, you wont have a choice. The point of partnered airlines is that you wont be able to fly on a Delta, United or AA aircraft into Gdansk. The last leg will be on one of their partners aircraft, but your ticket will be booked as one ticket through Delta, United or AA, and the flights will be codeshared.

A quick look at the AA site shows a one stop solution DFW-FRA-GDN
Lufthansa flies the FRA-GDN leg.

A single ticket booking on AA. 14.5 hrs total travel time.

I see no problem using AA to get an 'efficient option'
