Route on the map
When to fly
June is the cheapest month shown for this route, and it sits just before Thira's busiest summer period and Riga's holiday season. July, May and the winter months also carry prices, while October, November and February appear in the data too, so the year is uneven rather than flat. Midweek departures can suit connecting itineraries better than weekend ones, and school holidays plus the Christmas period can tighten availability, so compare dates before you commit. Booking earlier for June and July leaves more choice of connections.
Airlines and what to expect
The airline mix spans low-cost-style and full-service names, but the facts do not label them, so judge each fare on its own inclusions. Norwegian, Norwegian International, Sky Express and Eurowings Discover sit alongside Aegean Airlines, Austrian, Edelweiss Air, Finnair, Lufthansa and Olympic Air, and because none of these flights is direct, the connection point matters as much as the brand. Check whether your ticket is one booking or separate tickets, since that decides whether bags are checked through and who helps if a connection is missed.
Arriving — Riga
You land at Riga airport, which sits outside the city centre but within easy reach by bus, taxi or ride-hail, so the final leg is usually straightforward. Allow extra time if your connection arrives late, because public transport thins out and queues for taxis can grow. If your itinerary uses separate tickets, baggage may not be checked through, so confirm where you collect it before you leave the terminal. Check the weather for your arrival date too, since winter conditions can slow the trip into town.
