If you’ve been dreaming about a cozy European getaway, flydubai has just made it possible. The airline has launched a new direct route to Riga, the capital of Latvia. Starting now, you can fly three times a week (on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays) from Dubai International Airport to this charming European destination.
The flight takes about 7 hours, and you’ll arrive at Riga International Airport (RIX) late in the evening, giving you a chance to rest before exploring the city the next day. On the return, you’ll land back in Dubai at DXB Terminal 3 in the morning.

Riga is a city full of rich history, stunning architecture, and a lively arts scene. Visit the UNESCO-listed Old Town, stroll along the Daugava River, or check out Riga Castle, one of Latvia’s greatest medieval castles. It’s a great destination for those looking for a quiet European charm. If you’re a foodie, don’t miss local Latvian dishes like rye bread, smoked fish, and hearty soups.
In addition to Riga, flydubai has also launched nonstop flights to Vilnius in Lithuania. So if you’re looking to explore more European gems, this is a perfect time to book your next trip.
