Cheap flights from Poznan to Vilnius

January is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers September through April, so the winter months are where the savings sit. December is the exception: the run-up to Christmas and New Year pushes fares up as people fly home, then January drops again once the holidays are over. Weekday departures, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday, when weekenders and business travellers fill the connecting legs. Summer is not priced here, so if you plan to travel outside the window shown, book early. On a connecting itinerary, booking a few weeks ahead usually beats leaving it late, since two legs mean two chances to sell out.

No airline flies Poznan to Vilnius non-stop, so every option here is a connection. The names you will see are the full-service network carriers, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines and Swiss, usually paired with their regional arms on the shorter legs: Lufthansa Cityline, KLM Cityhopper, Air Dolomiti, Helvetic Airways and Braathens Regional Aviation. That mix matters at booking: a fare sold by the big carrier may be operated by the regional one, and baggage rules follow the operating airline's fare class, not the brand on your ticket. Read the fare conditions before you pay: the lightest fares often exclude a checked bag.

Vilnius Airport is the only airport serving the Lithuanian capital, and it sits a short ride from the centre. Buses connect the terminal with the city, and taxis or ride-hailing apps cover the same distance quickly. The airport is compact, so you are usually out of arrivals soon after landing. Because your journey is connecting, your arrival time depends on the hub you pass through, and a delayed first leg can eat into the buffer before the second. Keep your onward boarding pass handy and watch the screens on landing, since gates at hub airports change often. Once you are in town, the old town is compact and walkable, so you rarely need a car.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check the connection time at your hub, since a tight transfer on separate tickets means no protection if the first flight is late.
• Confirm whether both legs sit on one ticket, because separate bookings usually mean collecting your bags and checking them in again.
• Look at the baggage allowance for the airline operating the flight, not only the brand that sold you the ticket.
• Carry a passport or ID card, since Lithuania is in the Schengen area and checks apply at your first point of entry.
• Book early if you want the January fares, and expect higher prices around Christmas and New Year.
• Note that Poznan has a single airport, Lawica, so there is no choice to make when you leave.
