Liepaja is one of the most economically active cities in Latvia and, during the summer, one of Latvia’s most popular holiday destinations as the city is located by the Baltic Sea with its wonderful beaches. Liepaja also makes a good base for a journey through western Latvia and the spectacular Curonian Spit in Lithuania, which is just a stones throw away.

Liepaja – Riga operates twice a day on working days, in the mornings and evenings. The flight lasts 40 minutes and the one-way fare starts from EUR 7, including taxes. Liepaja – Copenhagen and Liepaja – Hamburg operate daily and the ticket prices start from EUR 7 to Hamburg and EUR 27 to Copenhagen, including taxes.

The second flight route within the Baltics that airBaltic is opening is between Riga and Kuressaare, the biggest town on Saaremaa Island in Estonia. Saaremaa has become extremely popular among Germans and Scandinavians, as well as Latvians, as a holiday destination with wild, untouched nature and excellent, super-modern SPA facilities.

Waiting in lines of cars for crowded ferries is no longer necessary. A journey from Riga to Saaremaa that normally takes a whole day now can take only 45 minutes with airBaltic. Flights operate on Thursdays and Sundays and the one-way ticket price starts from EUR 27, including taxes.

For those who would rather leave the planning up to someone else, airBaltic is also offering complete SPA packages to Kuressaare including flights and three nights in one of the island’s very best SPA hotels. For more information, visit www.airbaltic.com and click on Travel packages.
