Cheap flights from Bari to Riga

The expensive stretches are the ones most travellers already know: Christmas and New Year, the destination's summer and school holidays. Work back from them and April is the cheapest month in the dated fares shown here. Weekdays often price lower than weekends on connecting routes, but check the calendar rather than assuming. May, July and September are not in the months with prices, so do not read their absence as a bargain. If you must travel in peak periods, book earlier and compare nearby departure days.

The route is served by a mix of airlines with different fare styles, and none of them flies it nonstop. Scandinavian Airlines, Eurowings Discover, ITA Airways, Norwegian, Trans North Aviation, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Edelweiss Air, Air Dolomiti and Air Serbia all appear among the options, so compare what each ticket includes before you book. A basic fare can exclude a cabin bag, seat selection or checked luggage, while a fuller fare can include them. On connecting itineraries, also compare the connection airport, the minimum connection time and whether both legs are on one ticket. Transfers on separate tickets can save money but leave you responsible for a missed connection.

You land at Riga airport, the city's main airport, and the first job is getting from arrivals into the centre without wasting the savings from a cheap fare. Transfers are usually by airport bus, taxi or pre-booked car; check the route, the stop and the payment method before you land, especially late at night. Keep documents and the address of your first night handy, and allow time for baggage reclaim and border formalities. If your connection was tight, fix the transfer after you have cleared arrivals rather than while queueing.
