Airlines flying from Rhodes to Heraklion

Sky Express and Olympic Air fly the Rhodes to Heraklion 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. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Sky Express - Rhodes to Heraklion
• Olympic Air - Rhodes to Heraklion

Departure: Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO)

Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO) is where the Rhodes to Heraklion flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.

• 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
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book

Arrival: Heraklion Airport (HER) and getting into Heraklion

You arrive at Heraklion Airport (HER). 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. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Heraklion, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

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

Baggage, seats and classes on the Rhodes to Heraklion flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Rhodes to Heraklion. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Rhodes to Heraklion

Families fly the Rhodes to Heraklion route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Heraklion when you land

the church of Agios Titos, the ruins of Malia palace, the island of Spinalonga, the Palace of Knossos and the Archaeological Museum are what most travellers come to Heraklion for. Heraklion is Crete's capital, with the palace of Knossos, the Venetian harbour and the beaches and villages of the east. Eat lamb with stamnagathi greens, snails with rosemary and fresh grilled fish while you are there.

Return flight from Heraklion to Rhodes

How much is a flight from Rhodes to Heraklion?

"How much is the Rhodes to Heraklion 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 can provide the current cost for your dates shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Rhodes to Heraklion: how to pay less

• 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
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
