Cheap flights from Chania to Dusseldorf

Book as early as you can for school holidays, Christmas and the destination's summer; for October, watch fares a few weeks ahead and stay flexible on days. Midweek departures can be cheaper than weekend ones, and November through March are usually calmer months to compare. Check the price calendar before you fix dates, since the same route can vary a lot by day.

The real difference is what the ticket includes: some carriers charge separately for bags, seats and meals, while others bundle more into the fare. On this route from Greece to Germany, the list runs from low-cost names such as Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizz Air and Eurowings to full-service names such as Aegean Airlines, Air Serbia and Malta Airlines, with Condor, Sky Express and Marabu varying by fare and route. Direct flights exist, but some itineraries connect, so check stops, total travel time and whether the connection is protected on one ticket. Low-cost tickets can suit light travellers; full-service tickets can be simpler when you need bags, meals or changes.

Dusseldorf International is the larger airport and usually means shorter transfers and more services after landing; Weeze is smaller and the journey into town takes much longer, so allow extra time. Check the airport code before you book, because a cheap fare to Weeze can erase its saving in transfer time and stress. From Dusseldorf International, trains and taxis are the usual ways into the centre; from Weeze, expect a longer bus or train connection. In the first hours, sort your transfer, mobile data and any onward ticket before leaving the terminal.
