Vilnius Airport Departures (VNO)

Flight Departures at Vilnius Airport

Vilnius Airport lies just 15 minutes by car from Lithuania's capital city. Departure passengers should go to Level 2 and 3 of the single terminal – although some departures are also handled on Level 1 next to Arrivals.

There are five parking facilities at VNO: P2, P3 and PC are for short-term parking. At the heart of PC passengers can be dropped off or collected free of charge, provided motorists don't park longer than 15 minutes in any three hour period.

Vilnius Airport is one of three gateways into Lithuania, the other two airports being Kaunas and Palanga. VNO is linked to the other two airports by public transport, but it's also very affordable to hire a car. Car rental is available at Vilnius Airport from the P4 parking facility at VNO. Here Enterprise, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt offer a wide choice of vehicles.

Intercity buses connect Vilnius with Palanga twice a day, stopping at Kaunas en route. Buses leave from Vilnius Central Bus Station. Flybus links Vilnius with Riga in Latvia.

A train station is right next to the terminal, simply follow signage. Trains take only 7 to 8 minutes from Vilnius Airport into the city center.
