Best time to fly from Thessaloniki to Chania
May to October is the main season, with July and August hot and crowded at Elafonissi and Balos; spring and autumn are milder and quieter; winter is mild but wet, and summer north winds can cancel boat trips. On the flight from Thessaloniki to Chania, 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.

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from Chania to Thessaloniki booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much is a flight from Thessaloniki to Chania?
Flight prices from Thessaloniki to Chania follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you on WhatsApp before you decide.
Ask us 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.
Cheapest flight from Thessaloniki to Chania: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Thessaloniki to Chania is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our team applies on every booking:
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Tell us 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
When you fill out the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Thessaloniki to Chania flight first, then the alternatives.
How to book flights from Thessaloniki to Chania with Haqqi Tours

We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.
- Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Chania
If plans change, the same WhatsApp thread handles it. We spell out the carrier's change and refund rules for the fare you chose before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises later.
Airlines flying from Thessaloniki to Chania
Who flies from Thessaloniki to Chania? Sky Express. Between them the route runs several a week in summer. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for your dates and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
Departure: Thessaloniki Macedonia Airport (SKG)
Thessaloniki Macedonia Airport (SKG) is where the Thessaloniki to Chania 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.
- Let us know about the terminal and fast-track options at Thessaloniki Macedonia 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
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
Arrival: Chania Ioannis Daskalogiannis Airport (CHQ) and getting into Chania
You arrive at Chania Ioannis Daskalogiannis Airport (CHQ). A local bus links the airport with the Chania bus station in about 30 minutes, which suits one traveller going to the Old Town; hotels in Platanias, Kalyves, Georgioupolis or the south coast need a change of bus, so a private car to the door is simpler for families and luggage. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Chania, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Many travellers continue from Chania to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Thessaloniki to Chania flight
On board, the Thessaloniki to Chania flight is about 1 hour 15 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
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
Flying with children, families and groups from Thessaloniki to Chania
Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.
Things to do in Chania when you land
the Venetian Harbour and lighthouse, the Municipal Market, the Maritime Museum of Crete, Küçük Hasan Pasha Mosque and the Samaria Gorge are what most passengers come to Chania for. Chania is the Venetian harbour town of western Crete, with the lighthouse, the old quarters and Balos and Elafonisi beaches. Eat thyme honey with yoghurt, dakos barley rusk salad and kalitsounia cheese pies while you are there.
If you want the days in Chania organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Chania to Thessaloniki, or onward flights from Chania - and puts it all on one booking.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Yes. Extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles are added at booking on most airlines, cheaper than at the airport. Let us know what you are carrying and we include it in the cost.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The airline must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.
Is it better to fly or take the train from Thessaloniki to Chania?
On this route flying is the practical choice at about 1 hour 15 minutes; we provide trains too where they exist and say which is better for you.
When is the best time to book the Thessaloniki to Chania flight?
As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
Can I book the Thessaloniki to Chania flight for a group?
Yes. Give the number of passengers on the form; we book the seats together in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your accommodation to Thessaloniki Macedonia Airport and a driver waiting at Chania Ioannis Daskalogiannis Airport, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
How early should I be at Thessaloniki Macedonia Airport?
Around two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one, more at peak times or with bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop early - we send the exact deadline with the ticket.
Do I need to print the e-ticket?
No - the electronic ticket and the booking reference on your phone are enough for check-in. We send both and remind you to carry the passport or ID used for booking.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the airline and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest normally cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
What happens if I miss the flight?
The best fares are forfeited; flexible fares can be rebooked for a fee or free. We tell you which rules apply before any payment, and our WhatsApp desk helps on the day if something goes wrong.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 1 hour 15 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.
Can I choose my seat?
Usually yes - free at check-in on most airlines, or for a small charge at booking. Say what you prefer when we message you and we add it.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Yes, at their own fares: infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced rate, children from two need a seat and normally pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.
Can I book a return flight from Chania to Thessaloniki?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with the date you come back; we compare a round-trip fare against two one-ways and book the cheaper one. Not sure of the return yet? We explain the flexible options.
