Cheap flights from San Sebastian to Riga

Look at the weeks on either side of June before you fix dates, because fares often move as school holidays approach, then check June itself, which is the cheapest month shown for this route. Summer demand in both Spain and Latvia can push July prices up, while December and January are shaped by Christmas and New Year travel. Midweek departures are often easier to price than weekend ones, and the October to January window can suit a city break in Riga, but always compare the dated fares before you settle on a day.

Start by pricing Iberia, then compare BA CityFlyer and Vueling Airlines on the same dates, because each carrier can issue a different fare with different baggage, seat and change terms. None of the flights are direct, so every itinerary has at least one connection; read the operating carrier and the fare conditions before you pay. Check whether cabin baggage, checked baggage, seat selection and changes are included or charged separately, and note that a cheaper fare can become costly if you need to change or add a bag.

Arrange your entry documents, transfer plan and accommodation address before you land, because you may need them at the airport and on the way into town. Riga airport handles the flights on this route and the city centre is a short transfer by public transport or taxi; check which terminal you arrive at and how you will reach your hotel. Watch the time of day, as late arrivals can make the last bus or train less useful, and keep your passport and any booking details easy to hand.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm that your itinerary leaves from San Sebastian airport, not from a different city that appears in search results.
• Check whether your fare includes cabin and checked baggage, and what seats, changes and extras cost on that carrier.
• Check whether the connection is on one ticket or separate tickets, and whether the transfer time is realistic.
• Carry the documents Latvia requires for your nationality and keep them ready at boarding and arrival.
• Compare June with July and the December to January holiday weeks before you settle on dates, because prices move across the months shown.
