Cheap flights from Nuremberg to Riga
The first decision is when to go: June is the cheapest month shown on this route, and every flight connects, so cheap flights from Nuremberg to Riga are really a choice of timing and stop rather than a nonstop hop. The departure city has one airport and the destination is Latvia's capital, which keeps planning simple, but the connection still needs to fit your day. Compare total travel time and fare rules, not just the headline price, before you commit.

Route on the map
When to fly
The weeks on either side of June often give you more flexibility than fixed holiday dates, and June itself is the cheapest month shown for this route. December and January are also in the months with prices, so if those dates matter, compare early and stay flexible on the connection. Midweek departures usually beat weekend ones, and the exact day can matter more than the airline. Give yourself enough lead time to protect the connection you actually want, rather than taking the first available fare.
Airlines and what to expect
What you feel first is the fare rules, not the logo: some tickets include a bag and seat, others charge for both, and the connection quality varies as much as the price. The airlines listed for this route are Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cityline, German Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air Dolomiti, HOP!, Turkish Airlines, Eurowings, KLM Cityhopper and Scandinavian Airlines. None of them flies nonstop between these cities, so every itinerary has at least one connection and your protection depends on whether it is one ticket. Check whether the same carrier handles both segments or whether you are switching between partners, because that changes who helps if a flight is delayed.
Arriving — Riga
Arrange your transfer before you land, because Riga airport is outside the centre and late arrivals leave fewer options. Buses, taxis and ride-hailing all run into town, but the right choice depends on your luggage, your arrival time and whether you are heading straight to accommodation. If you land in winter, allow extra time for road conditions and keep your hotel address handy. Check which terminal your flight uses and whether your onward transport still runs after your scheduled arrival.

Check before you book
- Check whether your fare includes a checked bag and seat selection, because basic fares often exclude both.
- Confirm the departure and connection airports on every segment, because the city has one airport but connections may use another.
- Compare total travel time and connection length, not just the fare, because every option connects.
- Book earlier for December and January if those dates matter to you.
- Check passport, visa and entry requirements for Latvia before you travel.
- If you buy separate tickets, allow enough connection time and accept the risk of a missed onward flight.
