Cheap flights from Birmingham to Chania

October stands out as the cheapest month on this route, with prices available through November and December before returning in April, May, June, July, August and September. Flying midweek tends to be quieter than weekends, and booking several weeks ahead usually gives you better options when demand picks up for summer holidays or around Christmas.

Budget carriers like Ryanair, Easyjet and Jet2 offer straightforward point-to-point service with basic fares that do not include checked baggage. Eurowings and Cityjet provide similar low-cost options across the season. Full-service or network airlines including Lufthansa Cityline, Air France, Swiss, Lufthansa City Airlines and Helvetic Airways typically bundle meals and seat selection into their tickets.

You land at Ioannis Daskalogiannis airport, which sits just outside the centre of Chania on Crete. Buses run regularly to town and taxis are available outside arrivals, though traffic can build up during peak summer months when many visitors arrive together.
