Vilnius Airport

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.
