Cheap flights from Chania to Riga

Riga's summer days are long and its winter days short, so the city feels different by month even before fares enter the picture. August is the cheapest month among those with published fares, while December and January bring short daylight and a compact sightseeing day.

Weekday departures can cost less than weekend ones, and Christmas and school holidays can push fares up, so compare the months with published fares before fixing dates. Book early for August and for December trips, and allow a longer connection if you are travelling in winter weather.

The real difference is what happens at the airport: some fares include a checked bag and seat choice, while others charge for both and limit changes. All listed flights connect, because there are no nonstops on this route, so compare the whole itinerary rather than the first price you see.

Aegean Airlines, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Edelweiss Air, Eurowings Discover, Finnair, Norwegian, Norwegian International, Scandinavian Airlines and Sky Express all appear on this route. Check each fare's baggage, seat and change rules, and whether the connection is protected on one ticket.

A late arrival into Riga can change the evening: public transport may be thinner, and you may need a taxi or an overnight stay instead of an easy ride into town. Riga airport is the city's main airport and sits close to the centre, with buses and taxis doing most of the work.

If your connection lands late, check the last service into the city before you book, and keep a buffer for passport control and baggage reclaim. On separate tickets, a delay can strand you, so protect the connection or plan for an overnight.
