When to fly
Look at the weeks on either side of January and compare them with the month itself, rather than assuming a whole season is cheap. January is the cheapest month on this route's price calendar, while December and March sit beside it and can shift with school and public holidays. Midweek departures can be simpler to combine into a cheaper connection than Fridays or Sundays. Book with enough time to compare routings, because the lowest fare may not be the shortest one.
Airlines and what to expect
The airlines named for this route are Norwegian International, Norwegian, Cityjet, Scandinavian Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Wider. On a connection, the fare can be one ticket or separate tickets, and that decides whether bags transfer and missed connections are protected. A lower fare may leave out checked baggage and seat selection, while a higher fare may include them; read the fare details instead of guessing from the airline name.
Arriving — Riga
Arriving late in the day can change how you reach the centre, because public transport may thin out and taxi queues lengthen. Riga airport sits outside the centre, so plan the last leg before you land. The usual options are an airport bus, a taxi or a pre-booked transfer, and late arrivals can mean fewer departures and a longer wait. Check whether your hotel is near the old town or the station, because that changes which stop or drop-off makes sense.
