About airBaltic
airBaltic is the Latvian national airline. Riga is its hub, and it also bases aircraft in Tallinn and Vilnius, which makes it the main carrier for all three Baltic states. Its network connects the Baltics with Scandinavia, Western and Southern Europe, and some destinations in the Caucasus and the Middle East. The airline follows a hybrid model: it offers a Business class and connecting itineraries through Riga like a traditional carrier, but sells unbundled economy fares in the low-cost style. airBaltic is not a member of any alliance, although it codeshares with a number of other airlines.
Agents and developers can search live airBaltic fares on IATA.co, in the booking portal or through the flights API, and pay from a prepaid balance. airBaltic fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. The fare rules are displayed before you confirm.

Booking airBaltic fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book airBaltic fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live BT fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. airBaltic results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
