When to fly
April brings longer daylight and milder temperatures in Latvia, which is why it tends to offer lower prices than the peak summer months. October through December see reduced demand outside of holiday periods, while February remains quiet between ski seasons. Weekday departures often cost less than weekend flights, and you should avoid booking around school breaks when families travel.
Airlines and what to expect
This route relies entirely on full-service carriers rather than low-cost operators. LOT Polish Airlines connects through Warsaw, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, KLM through Amsterdam, Lufthansa from Frankfurt or Munich, Swiss from Zurich, Tarom through Bucharest, and Harbour Air Seaplanes appear in the results though their role varies. Each airline includes a checked bag and meal service with standard economy tickets.
