Getting to Riga from USA
Hello Flyertalk!
Long time reader, first time poster. I lived in Latvia year as an exchange student, and had tickets to me provided by an organization that were EWR-CPH-RIX round trip. I am going back this summer, including a stop in Germany for a few days to meet with friends. What is the cheapest way to get to Riga from Boston or JFK? I live near SJC but I'd be flying out of the east coast. So far all I can find are Finnair through HEL, but id like to include a stop in Germany at least one of the ways there. My biggest question is about Air Uzbekistan, it seems that everyone in Latvia i talk to knows that they fly to JFK from RIX, but nobody knows how to buy the tickets! Anybody have any idea what prices are on the JFK-RIX nonstop and if its a reliable airline?
Thank you, and apologies if this is not in the correct section.
