The airport page names Lux Express and Ecolines for international buses, but it gives no specific services or prices, so we do not describe them.

How to choose

• To the city centre or the bus station cheaply: bus 29.
• You land at midnight or early in the morning: the first service is at 04:41–05:12, the last after midnight, and there can be a long gap between them; otherwise take a taxi.
• With heavy luggage or children: a taxi, but with the rate board and a receipt.
• Flying on to Vilnius or Klaipėda: the Ollex bus, buy your ticket in advance.

Over the holidays, check the timetable the day before your flight. On 25 December the city bus file shows the Sunday pattern; we confirmed the services only from that file, not from the operator.
