Direct flights from €265-445 depending on season, with February offering the lowest prices. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are consistently €30-60 cheaper than weekend flights. Avoid August (peak summer) when prices hit €445 average. Use Skyscanner or Google Flights to compare all carriers, then book direct with the airline for the best cancellation policies.
