 Riga–Hurgada opens at the end of October. Offering a vast range of beach and leisure activities, including the best warm-water scuba diving in the northern hemisphere, Hurghada is also within easy reach of the magnificent temples and pyramids of the Nile valley. The flights will operate throughout the winter season three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. One-way tickets start from EUR 112 (taxes included). The flight times give excellent possibilities for passengers from Scandinavia and St.Petersburg flying via Riga to connect to these Hurghada flights.
The Riga–Tashkent route starts from December 2007. The buzzing Uzbek capital, home to those legendary giants of history Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, is today the hub of a booming business empire that is transforming the surrounding region. Tashkent is rapidly becoming the regional major player in Central Asian business and politics. Flights will operate twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. The flight times, with planes departing Riga late in the evening and leaving Tashkent in the morning, will allow passengers from Scandinavia and Germany flying via Riga to connect comfortably to the Tashkent flights. Oneway tickets between Riga and Tashkent start from EUR 142 (taxes included). |
