Cheap flights from Longyearbyen to Hamburg

The expensive stretch covers the December and January holiday period and the July price that also appears in the calendar, so work back from those peaks if your dates can move. November is cheaper, and October, December, January, February, March and July all have prices you can compare side by side. Winter weather can affect either end of the trip, so allow a cautious connection and look at midweek departures when you can.

The difference you feel between the carriers is usually in the fare rules rather than the aircraft, because every itinerary on this route connects and the total day can vary a lot. Norwegian International, Norwegian and Scandinavian Airlines all appear in the results, and the same route can be sold with very different inclusions, so check baggage, seat selection, meals and change rules before you pay. A cheaper headline fare can become the more expensive option once connection times, airport transfers and paid extras are added, so compare the whole journey rather than the first price you see.

Arrange your onward transport before you land, because arriving after a connection leaves less patience for sorting out the last leg. Hamburg Airport sits on the edge of the city rather than in the centre, and the usual choices are the suburban rail, airport buses, taxis or a pre-booked transfer depending on the hour and your luggage. In the first hours, follow the airport signs carefully, keep your booking details handy, and expect winter conditions to slow both the flight and the ride into town if you are travelling in the colder months.

• Check what is included in the fare and price baggage, seat selection, meals and changes before you pay.
• Confirm that your booking departs from Svalbard Airport and arrives at Hamburg Airport, with no second airport assumed at either end.
• Allow enough connection time for a ticket that is not nonstop, especially if it uses separate tickets or different terminals.
• Check passport validity and any entry requirements for Germany before you travel.
• Compare November with the other months that show prices, since winter weather can change both fares and reliability.
• Pack for cold and dark conditions at the Longyearbyen end and keep transfer plans flexible for the Hamburg arrival.
