Vilnius airport

Vilnius. I'm on a quick trip to ski, cave, swim, and visit saunas. The usual deal. A 24-hour trip, my second time at the Vilnius airport (previous visit article, alt. link). A nice one!

The Vilnius airport is small, and interestingly there's homes right next to the taxiway. Must be interesting viewing from those houses.

The airport itself has an old part which today acts as the arrivals hall and the new part which is for departures. The departure hall was not super big, and I loved the big letter screen for the flights. Modern and well-designed feeling to the whole setup.

As a small airport everything is quite walkable, hotels, rental car parking hall, etc. are all within hundred or two hundred meters distance.

Inside the airport, it was interesting to see a gym equipment in the terminal right next to the gates.

Photos, first arrivals building and the new building and then the big screen.

Gym equipment by the gates:

Then there was a lounge (entrance picture below). Again a small but modern design, had children's corner, clean bathrooms, etc. Not super many power ports, however, and the food offering was limited.

Arrivals in Helsinki with the confusion about oversize luggage belts depicted below. I had not realized there were *multiple* oversize belts at my home airport. I've always been on Belt 1, but there's also Belt 9! No wonder I had to wait for my skis :-)
