SkyTeam partners Air France and KLM are currently offering good prices for many worldwide destinations when departing from the Baltics. Almost all deals are available for the same price, regardless if you’re flying from Tallinn, Riga, or Vilnius. Some flights are also available from Helsinki. Sadly, adding a piece of luggage will almost always add another €80-100 to the total price, unless you have a SkyTeam Elite status.
We found cheap flights to the following cities (always from the cheapest airport, but as stated before, there is barely a price difference between the Baltic airports):
- New York: €394
- Toronto: €402
- Sint Maarten: €413
- Nairobi: €422
- Lagos: €432
- Johannesburg: €433
- Beijing: €475
- Zhengzhou: €488
- Changchun: €488
- Dalian: €488
- Harbin: €488
- Shenyang: €488
- Seoul: €497
Unless you’re flying from Helsinki, it is airBaltic that will get you to Amsterdam (or Paris), from where you would continue your trip to your final destination on one of the SkyTeam airlines.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
