Ryanair is the obvious choice for getting to Riga if you are on a budget and especially if you are flexible on dates ie) don't mind flying midweek. For example my flight was £23 return including all taxes and charges.
BUT..... Ryanair flies from Stansted to Riga once a day. Stansted is not the most convenient airport for me. However when sharing petrol and car park costs it is still very affordable to fly from here. Also remember that Ryanair charges for drinks and snacks.
It may be worth considering British Airways http:www.ba.com or Air Baltic http://www.airbaltic.lv/public/lv/index.html if you are flying shorter notice or at the weekend, they may be cheaper.

Ryan Air flies to Riga from Tampere, Finland for a very reasonable price. Even very close to Christmas we managed to get our one way tickets for only 15 euros per person, including taxes.
As for getting to and from the airport, don't take the Ryanair bus from the railway station in Tampere. Instead take one of the local buses and you pay half the price (only 3 euros). In Riga's end the bus ticket cost was so minimal that you can jump to any bus at all. Actually we didn't pay anything in Riga as they didn't want to take notes in the bus.
If you're travelling around Scandinavia, this is a very cheap and convenient way to get back to the mainland Europe. No hassle with ferries.

The public transport system operates daily from 5:30 am to 11:30 pm. One of the fastes ways to get around is by minibus. Tickets can be purchased from the driver and cost 20 Santimes (~0.30€).
You can find minibus terminals next to the Central Station and the Main Post office.
Minibuses stop only if you raise your hand.
