Cheap flights from Birmingham to Thessaloniki

Weeks flanking October often provide better value than the middle of the month, as demand shifts toward the autumn transition. October is the month with lower fares, with fares generally rising as the season moves toward the summer peak. Service operates from October through January, then resumes in April and continues through July, so you will find options across most of the year except the spring gap.

The mix of airlines means fare inclusions vary, with some tickets including checked baggage and others charging for it separately. You can fly direct on this route to save time, or choose connections that route you through intermediate airports.

You should plan your ground transport from Makedonia Airport before you land, as the facility sits just outside Thessaloniki and offers road links to the city centre. Keep in mind that Makedonia Airport is the only airport serving Thessaloniki, so all arrivals will end up here, and you can focus on finding the most convenient way into town.

Country facts: Wikidata

• If you book separate tickets for a connection, allow enough time between flights to clear borders and collect baggage, since the airlines will not protect you if one is delayed.
• Some airlines charge extra for checked luggage, so verify what your fare includes before you pack.
• Verify passport and visa requirements for Greece before you travel, as rules can change and depend on your citizenship.
• Book early for travel during the destination's summer months, as October is the month with lower fares and demand rises later in the year.
• Compare dated fares across different airlines to check the current prices.
