Cheap flights from London to Klaipeda/Palanga

November is the cheapest month on this route, so start with the price calendar if your dates are flexible. Summer is the busy end — Palanga is a beach town and the Baltic coast fills with holidaymakers, which pushes July and August up. Spring and early autumn are the middle ground: mild, quieter, and easier to book. Winter is cheap but short on daylight. Compare a midweek departure with a weekend one before you commit, and watch school holidays and the Christmas window, when fares climb.

Ryanair and Norwegian are the low-cost names here, so the fare buys the seat and little else — bags and seat choice come on top. Air Baltic, Scandinavian Airlines, Air France, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, KLM Cityhopper and Brussels Airlines are the full-service options, where a checked bag is usually part of the ticket. DAT LT is the small regional operator in the mix. Direct flights run on this route, and the low-cost carriers are the ones to look at for the shortest version. If a result shows a stop, check whether it is one ticket or two — a full-service connection looks after you when a leg slips, a self-transfer does not.

Palanga International is the airport on the Lithuanian end, and it is a small one — you are through it quickly and outside without a long walk. It serves both Palanga itself and Klaipeda, so how long the transfer takes depends on which of the two you are heading for. Taxis, transfers and buses are the usual ways into town, and a rental car pays off if you plan to move along the coast. In summer, sort the transfer or the car ahead, because the coast is busiest then. Check the arrival airport shown on your booking before you pay — Palanga International is the one you want.
