Cheap flights from Manchester to Chania

Demand rises during the summer holiday season and around school breaks when visitors head to Greece for long days by the sea. October stands out as the cheapest month on this route, offering a balance of mild weather and lower fares before the peak travel period begins.

You can fly with low-cost operators like Ryanair, Easyjet, Jet2, Cityjet, Eurowings, and the two Norwegian brands that charge for extras, or choose full-service carriers such as Brussels Airlines where meals come with your seat. TUI Airways often packages flights with hotel stays, while Ryanair UK may run its own schedule on this route. Most options get you to Chania quickly, though some airlines connect via other cities.

You land at Ioannis Daskalogiannis airport, which sits only a short drive west of Chania city centre. Once you collect your bags, local buses and taxis provide easy links into town where hotels and restaurants cluster near the old harbour.
