Route on the map
When to fly
The December holiday period is the costly end of the year on this route, June is the other high-priced bookend, and January and February are usually softer before spring. November is the cheapest month among those with fares, with October, December, January, February, March, May and June also priced, so compare midweek departures and steer clear of school-holiday weeks where the calendar shows them.
Airlines and what to expect
Volotea is the low-cost name among these carriers, while Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Iberia and Aer Lingus are the full-service airlines, and HOP!, KLM Cityhopper, Air Dolomiti and Air Nostrum are the regional partners that usually operate the connecting legs. None of these itineraries is nonstop, so every fare is really a connection, and the cheapest options differ most in whether hold luggage, seat choice and changes are included. Compare fare families and connection times rather than the headline price alone, because a short connection or a separate ticket can cost more than the fare saves.
Arriving — Riga
You land at Riga Airport, which sits south-west of the city centre, and the usual ways into town are the airport bus or a taxi. Check which terminal and which ground-transport stop you need before you land, because the airport is compact but the signs and stops are easy to miss when you are tired. If you are continuing by bus or train, allow time for baggage reclaim and the transfer between the terminal and the city transport hub.

Check before you book
- Check whether hold luggage, seat selection and changes cost extra, because the unbundled fares on this route can look cheaper than they are.
- Check the airport named on your ticket and the connection airport, even though Nantes has one main airport, so you know where you will actually change planes.
- Check the connection time and whether both flights are on one booking, since separate tickets leave you to solve a missed connection yourself.
- Check passport, visa and entry requirements for Latvia and any transit country before you pay.
- Check the price calendar around November and midweek dates, because November is the cheapest month and school holidays push fares up.
