Cheap flights from Lanzarote to Riga

December and January are the expensive stretch on this route, with Christmas and school holidays pushing demand and fares up, while February is the cheapest month among those with prices. October, November, March, April and May sit between those extremes, so compare dates across the whole calendar rather than assuming one season is always cheap. Midweek departures can help, but weekend returns and holiday weeks usually cost more. Book early for February if you want the lowest fare, because the cheapest month still sells out on popular connection days.

All carriers on this route sell connecting itineraries, because there are no nonstop flights between Lanzarote and Riga. The list includes BA EuroFlyer, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Iberia, Finnair, Air Europa and Luxair alongside Norwegian, Iberia Express and Eurowings Discover. Some fares bundle a checked bag, seat selection and changes, while others strip those out, so read the fare conditions rather than relying on the brand name. If your outbound and return are on different carriers, baggage and rebooking rules can change between legs.

Arrange your transfer before you land if you arrive late, because winter evenings in Riga are dark and cold and public transport thins out. Riga airport is a short ride from the centre, with buses, taxis and ride-hailing all used for the trip into town. Have your accommodation address ready, keep luggage light for stairs and cobbles in the old town, and allow extra time if your connection lands in the evening. If you are continuing elsewhere, check whether your next flight leaves from the same terminal before you leave the airport.
