Cheap flights from Gothenburg to Riga

The expensive stretch is usually December and the main summer holiday period, when Christmas and school breaks concentrate travel; November is the cheapest month in the listed range. Work back from there: October and January often sit between the two extremes, and the price calendar covers October through August, so September is not shown. Check weekday and weekend combinations before booking, because the day you fly can change the fare even on the same route.

Fare inclusions vary more than the airline name suggests: some tickets bundle a checked bag and seat choice, while others price them as extras, and the same carrier can sell different fare families on this route. Norwegian International, Finnair, LOT Polish Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Braathens Regional Aviation, Lufthansa, Cityjet, KLM Cityhopper, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Swiss all appear on the route, with at least one nonstop option and connecting itineraries via hubs; compare baggage, changes and seats on each fare before you decide.

Land after dark and Riga Airport feels quieter, with fewer onward options than in the daytime, so decide how you will reach central Riga before you book. The airport is outside the city centre, and the usual choices are public transport or a taxi; if you are arriving late, check that your chosen option still runs. Allow margin for baggage reclaim and any document checks, especially when your itinerary is split across separate tickets.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether a connection is on one ticket or separate tickets, since a missed link on separate tickets is usually your cost.
• Check baggage rules for each carrier, especially on cheaper fare types.
• Check which airport each leg uses, even though Gothenburg currently has one main airport.
• Check entry and document requirements for Latvia before travel.
• Check late-evening transport into Riga if your flight lands after dark.
• Check whether November fares apply to your exact dates before assuming the cheapest month covers the whole month.
