How to get the best deal on a Chania — Lyon ticket

  • Given the low flight frequency (about once a week), we recommend booking tickets 8–10 weeks before departure to guarantee seat availability on your desired date.
  • Compare Transavia and EasyJet fares: these carriers often offer basic tickets without included checked baggage, so check the final price when adding a suitcase.
  • To find the best deals, use the low-fare calendar on this page, as price differences for nearby dates in July can be more than AED 186.
  • If direct flights for your dates are unavailable or too expensive, check options with a layover in Athens — this may help reduce your total travel costs.
