Cheap flights London – Vilnius

December is the cheapest month on this route, and the winter months around it usually stay quiet too. Summer is peak: July and August fill up with holiday travel, and fares climb. Spring and autumn sit in the middle, with September and October often a good balance of weather and price. Weekday departures tend to cost less than Friday evenings and Sunday returns, when weekend traffic peaks. Watch the Christmas and New Year window, when London to Vilnius seats sell out early, and Lithuanian public holidays, which push up demand in the other direction. Book a few weeks ahead for winter trips and further out for summer.

The route mixes low-cost and network carriers. Ryanair, Wizz Air and its UK and Malta arms, Easyjet and Vueling Airlines are the low-cost names you will see most, usually on direct flights from Gatwick, Luton or Stansted. Air Baltic, Scandinavian Airlines and Norwegian appear too, often on connections through their own hubs, which is why some itineraries take longer but include more in the fare. Mokulele Flight Service also shows up in results. Low-cost tickets tend to be seat-only, so compare what each fare includes — cabin bag, checked bag, seat choice — before you choose. On connecting tickets, check whether the whole trip sits on one booking.

Vilnius Airport is the airport serving the Lithuanian capital, and it sits close to the city — a short ride rather than a long transfer. Buses and taxis are the usual ways in, and ride-hailing apps work well. The terminal is small and easy to navigate, so passport control and baggage reclaim rarely take long outside peak arrivals. If you land late, check the last bus times before you fly, because services thin out overnight. Coming from London, remember the time difference: Lithuania runs ahead of the UK, so an evening departure can land after midnight local time. Keep a card that works abroad or some local currency for the ride into town.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which London airport your fare leaves from — Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted and London City all serve the route, and transfers between them take time.
• Confirm what your low-cost ticket includes, since cabin and checked baggage are usually charged separately.
• If you book a connection on separate tickets, allow plenty of time in case the first flight is delayed.
• Carry a valid passport or an identity card accepted for entry to Lithuania, and check the current rules before you fly.
• Weigh December against the summer months if price matters more to you than weather.
• Book early for Christmas, New Year and Lithuanian public holidays, when seats go quickly.
