Route on the map
When to fly
Riga's long summer evenings make August feel like the natural month to compare first, and the page lists August as the cheapest month. Winter brings short days and a different pace for sightseeing, so December and January trips need earlier daylight planning. Weekday and weekend fares can differ, so check both if your dates are flexible, and school holidays or Christmas can tighten availability on European routes. Check the price calendar across the listed months before you fix your dates.
Airlines and what to expect
The fare includes and extras vary by ticket, so check baggage, seat selection and meals before you compare totals. Direct flights exist on this route, and the listed carriers are Air Baltic, ITA Airways, Norwegian International, Lufthansa City Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Swiss, LOT Polish Airlines, Edelweiss Air, Lufthansa and Scandinavian Airlines. The page does not sort these carriers into low-cost and full-service groups, and connection points should be checked on each itinerary. Read the fare rules for each option, especially when separate tickets leave you without connection protection.
Arriving — Riga
You land at Riga Airport, which sits outside the city centre and needs a planned transfer rather than a quick walk. Buses and taxis are the usual ways into town, and a late arrival makes that transfer more important to arrange in advance. In winter, allow extra time for weather and shorter daylight, and check where your accommodation is before choosing your transport. Keep your arrival terminal and meeting point clear if someone is collecting you.
