	VILNIUS AIRPORT customer review :  26 September 2012 by T Hoeh    (Germany)
	Rating : 8/10 Queuing Cleanliness Facilities Recommended	A small airport which is easy to navigate. Arrived on Lufthansa, which uses an airbridge, so it is just a few steps down a stairway and a 50m walk to get to the baggage carousel. After a 15 minute wait, baggage arrives. No border controls, so a real quick way out of the airport. Busses to downtown Vilnius and central station are a good option. The train to Vilnius station is a couple of minutes walk from the terminal building. Unfortunately the timetable in the airport arrivals hall does not match the - updated - timetable which is actually in force, but only on display at the station platform. So save yourself the hassle and take the airport bus which departs right in front of the terminal. Bus tickets are for sale at the newsstand in the arrivals hall (2 Lats/ride). Departure from Vilnius is very easy. Friendly check-in and security staff. Low cost travellers be aware of the measuring devices they have installed on the security conveyor belts. Quite obviously, all the boardcases to be screened must fit though that frame. Also they keep announcing the WizzAir and Ryanair luggage restrictions, so it is better to adhere to them from the start. Vilnius features some airside shops and coffee bars, and a very quiet business lounge with various drinks, sandwiches and fruit. This airport has a stress less atmosphere - a nice gateway to Lithuania.

	Rating : 6/10 Queuing Cleanliness Facilities Recommended	This airport is quite small. The tourist information office was helpful and friendly. Be aware if you rented a car from Hertz at another location and return it at the Vilnius airport you won't have the keycard necessary to enter the rental car parking lot (which is not well-signed). You will have to pay to park or park semi-illegally in front of the terminal and run in to your rental company to get the card so you can enter the lot and return your card. I assume it is the same with other rental car companies. If you had a lot of luggage you may wish to take the city bus to the train station instead of the train as you will have to go down a flight of stairs at the train station. There's no elevator. Passport control and security was quick in the early afternoon. Even though there aren't many planes at the airport, if you are in a regional or smaller jet, you'll have to ride a bus to the plane.

I agree with the other reviewers. Generally a good airport. The walk from the aircraft to the arrivals area and immigration is quite long and involves quite a few stairs. It could be that it is just the budget airlines that park a long distance away. The airport is well served by public transport and the bus service is cheap and convenient. Search the net for the public transport companies web site. They have a good route planner. Buses 1 and 2 head into town and are frequent. No problems with departure. A queue at the security was a little long, but moved fairly quickly.

After constructing the new modern annex building VNO became more spacious and got some contemporary airport feeling to it. Check-in is speedy and terminal is spacious with shopping, snack restaurant and decent yet cheap coffee from coffee-machines. Arrivals are a little complicated and it takes forever to reach the baggage reclaim area despite the airport being small. Insufficient effort in planning I guess? Anyway other than that it's all fine. Compact and adequate airport for a nice and lovely city.

Vilnius Airport is a peculiar building. The Arrival Hall is a Soviet-era train station. The Departure/Check-in area, accessed via shed-like ramps, is like bus station. The Departure gates is more typical of modern airport. On arrival, you first walk up to the top level for passport control, then you have to walk two levels down to baggage reclaim and exit. The airport is less than 5km from the city, and there is a bus service (2.50 litas) that takes you to the central train and bus stations (a short walk to the Dawn Gate in the Old Town). Small airport. Free wifi. Adequate seating. Decent food.

The airport has undergone a reconstruction a few years ago and is now much more spacious and modern than it used to be. Departures procedures typically take very little time and it's one of the quickest airports in this sense that I have used. Arrivals are ok, however I cannot understand why it takes so long to get to the luggage reclaim and exit considering it's a small airport designed to carry about 3 million passengers. It takes less time to reach the arrivals area in some airports that are 10 times larger. Other than that it is a good airport with the primary advantage being its closeness to the city center ie. just about 3-4km from the downtown, almost a walking distance. Unfamiliar travellers should beware taxis which are about 3-4 times more expensive than typical city taxis so it is advisable to call a taxi from a taxi company even if there is a bunch of them waiting at the entrance. There is also a rail service which takes you to the main train station of Vilnius. Buses also operate. Overall it is a good and adequate airport for a city of this size which is very close to the city and therefore very convenient.

Vilnius airport is clean and compact - arrivals and departures are a breeze - although there could be more facilities in the departure lounge. If you are arriving as a tourist do not use Martonas Taxis to get to city centre! They will grossly overcharge - in my case 80 litas for a 5 km drive to old town ( approx 10 times overcharge).

VNO is trying, but this is an example of a lack of planning and forward-thinking. The best thing that can be said is that it is very close to central Vilnius and a taxi will take you there for an equivalent of $7.00. Otherwise, it is so hopelessly inadequate for the new stream of passengers, brought about by Lithuania's admission to the EU and God only knows what it is going to look like after number of passengers will almost double this summer, with all the new flights launched. Arrivals hall is dark, cold and uncomfortable, albeit clean. Departures: check-in lines are long but tend to move quick, passport control and security is quick. Airside waiting areas are clean but seats are few, toilets are spotless but there are not enough of them. Duty Free is a joke. Once airside, you cannot buy a book, a magazine or a newspaper. One little tip: when people are reduced to leaning on the walls, you almost always CAN get a seat in the bar, because it so obnoxiously overpriced that it is only half-empty at the worst of times. Most travellers would not buy $3.00 coffee or a $4.00 glass of water, but to me it sounds like a bargain for a guaranteed seat and a table to put my laptop on. And for flights in winter, when it snows outside, the views through huge glass windows are magnificient.
