November offers the lowest prices (€330-380) due to low demand between Lithuanian winter and Malaysian monsoon season. Avoid July-August (€500+) when European holidaymakers flood Southeast Asia. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are cheapest, saving €50-100 versus Friday/Sunday. Use Skyscanner’s ‘everywhere’ search to compare all carriers, but book Turkish Airlines directly for free baggage included. Connection times in Istanbul average 2-3 hours, while Dubai/Doha can be 4-6 hours. If budget allows, Qatar Airways via Doha often has the shortest total travel time despite similar pricing.
