Cheap flights from Riga to Vienna

Demand on this route follows school holidays, Christmas and New Year, plus Vienna's own winter and summer visitor seasons, so prices and availability move around those peaks. January is the cheapest month shown, while November through September are the months with dated prices. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures are often easier to price than weekend ones, and booking early for holiday weeks matters more than chasing a last-minute fare.

Fares on this route start with what is included: on some carriers a low headline fare covers only the seat and hand luggage, with checked bags, seat choice and food charged separately, while others bundle more into the ticket. The listed airlines are Air Baltic, Ryanair, Scandinavian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Cityjet, Norwegian International, Finnair, Nordic Regional Airlines, Aegean Airlines and Lufthansa, and none of the listed options is direct, so every journey connects somewhere. Compare the same inclusions, connection time and airport of transfer before choosing, because the cheapest fare can become the most expensive once extras are added.

Arriving late in the day changes the plan, because Schwechat Intl is Vienna's main airport and sits outside the centre, so transfer choices and waiting times can differ after evening flights. Trains, buses and taxis are the usual ways into town, but late arrivals may mean fewer departures and a longer first hour. Check the last transfer before booking a late flight, and keep the airport name on the ticket in mind, since Vienna is served by Schwechat Intl.
