Not so good. Flight was departed 2 hours late from DC and we missed our connecting flight from Dubai to Mumbai. Our flight Dubai to Mumbai got delayed by three hours. Once we arrived Bombay airport we didnot get all our luggage bags. We were missing two luggage bags so found out that our those two luggage bags are coming in different flight. First they gave us wrong flight information in which our missing luggage coming and wrong phone number to whom we should reach out. I spent hours and hours at the airport to find out our luggage bags. After four five hours later and hectic time at the airport to get our luggage bags. Overall poor communication with emirates staff at the airport and no one is helpful.

Riga, Latvia climate

Summer (June to August) in Riga brings heat and humidity without reserve. With temperatures resting in the 70s most of the season, sunny days are supplemented almost constantly by rainy ones. The best time to book a flight to Riga is in the spring (March to May), before the humidity sets in, but while temperatures are still pleasant in the 60s. Cold temperatures move in during the winter (December to February), but this is also the driest time of year so rain and snow are much less common. The fall makes for a dreary segue into winter (September to November), with plummeting temperatures in the 50s and quite a bit of rain.

Best Time to Fly to Riga, Latvia

If you’re looking for tempting temperatures without the rain, then the pleasant shoulder season of spring is the most convenient time to book flights to Riga.

Peak Season:

When you book flights to Riga in the summer time, you get a mixed batch of weather. With the wonderful warm weather also comes quite a bit of rainfall. Planning a Riga flight in the springtime is another popular season, since temperatures are still comfortable and rainfall is at a minimum. 

Off-peak Season:

Although the winter months of December, January and February bring on a massive cold front here, precipitation is surprisingly at its lowest during this chilly period. While it may not be raining, the temperatures still call for warm clothing and outerwear, so if you book a cheap flight to Riga during it’s off season, remember to think before you pack.
