Cheap Flights from Riga to Berlin

The busiest and most expensive stretch runs through December and January when holiday travel drives prices up across Europe. After that, fares tend to drop toward spring as demand eases. April stands out as the cheapest month to fly between these two northern cities, though you should always compare dated prices since patterns shift each year.

This route mixes low-cost carriers and full-service airlines with no single dominant player. Air Baltic and Norwegian International operate from Riga with budget pricing on most fares. Full-service options include LOT Polish Airlines, Finnair, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, Croatia Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Cityjet and Nordic Regional Airlines, many of which route passengers through their respective hubs before continuing to Berlin.

Brandenburg Airport sits roughly forty kilometers northeast of central Berlin by road. The S-Bahn rail link connects the terminal to the city center in about thirty minutes, while buses and taxis provide alternatives for those with luggage or odd arrival times. Allow extra travel time if your flight comes through a late connection from another European city.
