Estimated flying times from Gothenburg: to Amsterdam 1 hour 35 minutes, to London and Paris about 2 hours 10 minutes, available through several airlines depending on the season.
During summer, schedules increase to Mediterranean locations including Alicante, Málaga, and Palma de Mallorca, ideal for family getaways.

Flight prices depend on timing, so planning for the shoulder seasons and midweek dates can enhance savings and flexibility.
Peak prices occur during summer and Christmas, while off peak periods in late winter and autumn may offer better deals. For most short haul trips, booking four to six weeks before departure hits the value sweet spot, though major holidays need earlier action.
