Inside each terminal

Check-in, security, the station link and how to change terminals — verified against the airport's own pages.

Terminal A

Vilnius Airport’s original terminal, built in 1949–1954 to a standard 1950s Soviet design — its façade still carries sculptures of soldiers, workers and aviators from that era. A new departure building went up alongside it in 1993, and ever since, this older building has handled arrivals only. An international design competition is already under way for its eventual replacement, targeted for completion by the end of 2028.

From the train & tram station

The airport’s railway stop sits by the terminal building, with stairs, a lift and a covered, lit footway leading in — the same walkway that also serves Terminal B.

Changing terminals

Terminal A connects to Terminal B, the departures building, by an enclosed gallery built as part of the 2023–2025 expansion.

Accessibility

Free special-needs wheelchairs, restrooms for wheelchair users and lifts between floors are available on the arrivals side; passengers with special wheelchairs are moved to and from the aircraft by Ambulift vehicles (models EAU 1500 FLS and Thunderlift L).

Terminal B

The new 14,400 m² departures terminal, built between 2023 and September 2024 and opened to passengers on 4 February 2025. It is an A++ energy-class building certified BREEAM Very Good: check-in, self-service baggage drop and shops sit on the ground floor, with a new security screening area and the Schengen departure and arrival gates on the floor above. Opening it grew the airport’s total terminal area by a third and doubled hourly passenger throughput, from 1,200 to 2,400.

Check-in

Self-service kiosks are available for SAS, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and Turkish Airlines passengers. The airport recommends arriving about 2 hours before departure — check-in typically opens 2 hours out and closes 30–40 minutes before the flight.

Security

Security screening moved upstairs with the new terminal, alongside the Schengen gates. Fast Track (a separate, priority screening lane) and the VIP Terminal’s private screening are both booked in advance.

Changing terminals

A spacious gallery links Terminal B directly to Terminal A, the arrivals building next door.

Accessibility

A marked special-assistance waiting area sits just inside the main departures hall (turn left on entry), with a call point; security offers a separate aisle and private screening room, and the wheelchair-accessible boarding-card gate is lane 5. The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard is available free at check-in or security, a partnership running since 2020.
