Final pricing is confirmed against real aircraft availability before you book. International routing adds overflight permits and customs clearance to the final figure.

15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Nice to Riga use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 177 km short after reserves on a 1,885 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport has 9,721 ft and Riga International Airport 10,499 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
