Cheapest flight from Heraklion to Thessaloniki: how to pay less

A cheap Heraklion to Thessaloniki flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we verify for you:

• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares

Airlines flying from Heraklion to Thessaloniki

Aegean Airlines and Sky Express fly the Heraklion to Thessaloniki route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value.

Departure: Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER)

Flights from Heraklion to Thessaloniki leave from Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER), serving Heraklion - heraklion is Crete's capital, with the palace of Knossos, the Venetian harbour and the beaches and villages of the east. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The airport bus and the city buses reach the centre in about 20 minutes and suit a central hotel; a private car is simpler for the north-coast resorts, for Elounda and Agios Nikolaos, or for crossing the island to Rethymno and Chania, where buses are slower and change at the station.

• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Heraklion to Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis Airport
• Just ask about the terminal and fast-track options at Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference

Arrival: Thessaloniki Makedonia Airport (SKG) and getting into Thessaloniki

Arrival is at Thessaloniki Makedonia Airport (SKG), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Thessaloniki is Greece's second city on the Thermaic gulf, with the White Tower, Byzantine churches and the best food in the country. We provide airport transfers in Thessaloniki with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Many travellers continue from Thessaloniki to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Heraklion to Thessaloniki flight

On board, the Heraklion to Thessaloniki flight is about 1 hour 20 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones

Flying with children, families and groups from Heraklion to Thessaloniki

Three things to know about the flight from Heraklion to Thessaloniki with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and typically a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Let us know the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.

Things to do in Thessaloniki when you land

Thessaloniki is Greece's second city on the Thermaic gulf, with the White Tower, Byzantine churches and the best food in the country. Start with Day trips to Meteora and Vergina, White Tower and Aristotelous Square, then Arch of Galerius and the Rotunda and Church of Agios Dimitrios. A tip from our desk: Tell us your airline and flight number and give your hotel's exact address, since the centre has many one-way streets; for Halkidiki say which peninsula and which resort, because drive times vary between 1 and 2.5 hours.

We offer tours and transfers in Thessaloniki as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Heraklion to Thessaloniki

May to October is warm and sunny with Halkidiki at its busiest in July and August; winters are cool and wet with occasional snow; city traffic is heavy at rush hours and on summer weekends towards Halkidiki. On the flight from Heraklion to Thessaloniki, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.

Return flight from Thessaloniki to Heraklion

The Thessaloniki to Heraklion flight is the same route in reverse, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Heraklion to Thessaloniki?

"How much is the Heraklion to Thessaloniki flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your date in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
