When to fly
October brings milder weather and longer daylight in Central Europe compared to the darker winter months. Prices tend to dip during this shoulder period before holiday travel drives costs upward. Spring and autumn generally offer steadier fares than peak summer or Christmas weeks, though availability varies across all twelve months on this corridor.
