Vilnius Airport

on Feb.10.2008 | "Having used Vilnius Airport for many years (my wife is Lithuanian)we have been watching he modernisation over the past months. The departure check-in and lounge are now complete and are very spacious, light and airy,such an improvement on the previous set-up. Although it seems far too big at the moment, I am sure traffic will increase as integration in to the EU continues. It is just a shame that the bar and duty free shopping area are on the ground floor and have no view because of a concrete structure, presumably part of security measures,obstructs what would be a lovely view of the airfield and aircraft manoevres.I look forward to when the present tiny and overcrowded arrivals area is improved. It is, sadly inevitable, though, that all these improvements will deprive the airport of its original charm. Flying in, or out afffords wonder4ful viws of the city, and, depending on swind direction and visibility,it is possible to enjoy the most fantastic view of the fairy-tale Trakai Castle." |
