About airBaltic
airBaltic (IATA: BT) is Latvia's national flag carrier, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Riga. Operating from its primary hub at Riga International Airport (RIX), with additional bases in Vilnius, Lithuania and Tallinn, Estonia, airBaltic is the leading airline connecting all three Baltic states to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The airline is one of the largest operators worldwide of the Airbus A220-300, having standardized its entire fleet around the type — a modern, fuel-efficient narrowbody used on both short and medium-haul routes.
airBaltic is not a member of any of the three major global alliances, instead maintaining extensive codeshare and interline partnerships with airlines across Europe that extend its connectivity well beyond its own route network. Known for its modern, award-winning fleet and its role as the main gateway airline for a relatively small home market, airBaltic gives travelers across Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia direct access to the wider European network. FareOptic compares airBaltic fares across its Baltic and European network to help you find the lowest BT ticket price for your trip.

Tips to Book Cheap airBaltic Flights
- 1.Book RIX–London, RIX–Paris, and other Western Europe airBaltic routes 6–10 weeks ahead for the best Economy fares.
- 2.Choose Economy Standard or Flex if you need a checked bag — Economy Basic includes carry-on only and can end up costlier once bags are added.
- 3.Connect via Riga (RIX) for onward European travel — airBaltic's hub schedule is built around efficient short connections between the Baltics and Western Europe.
- 4.Register for airBaltic Club before booking to make sure your points are credited on every flight.
- 5.Business Class on airBaltic's short A220 routes is often much cheaper than legacy carriers' business fares for comparable intra-European trips.
- 6.Flying between the Baltic states (RIX–VNO, RIX–TLL) is usually faster and more convenient than overland travel — book early for the best fares on these short hops.
- 7.Choose Economy Flex or Business if your plans might change — Economy Basic fares offer no flexibility.
- 8.Use FareOptic to compare airBaltic against other European carriers like Wizz Air, Ryanair, and LOT for your Baltic itinerary.
