The railway stop is 2 minutes' walk from the arrivals terminal, reached by stairs or lift and covered by video surveillance. A ticket machine stands on the platform; the LTG Link train to Vilnius railway station takes up to 8 minutes.
Finding the stop
All the buses, 1, 2, 3G, 88 and the night N8, leave from the one public-transport stop outside the terminal, near arrivals A and B. The screens in the arrivals hall and at the stop show the next departures.
Tickets
Tap a contactless bank card, phone or watch on the validator inside the bus for a 60-minute ticket, EUR 1.25. The EUR 1.00 30-minute ticket is sold in the JUDU and m.Ticket apps and on a JUDU card from the Narvesen shop in Arrivals A. Activate the ticket as you board.
Luggage
One item up to 60 × 40 × 20 cm travels on your ticket. A second bag, or one bigger than that, needs another full-price ticket, and must not block the aisle or the seats.
The taxi rank
The official rank is just outside the arrivals terminal; pay by card or cash and check for the tariff sticker inside the car before you get in. Fares are metered, not fixed: airport-rank carriers may charge no more than EUR 3.00 to start and EUR 1.75 a kilometre by day, EUR 2.10 at night, weekends and on public holidays.

Bolt operates at the airport: the app shows the pickup point and the price before you order, and ride-hailing signs mark the way. Its own pickup zone is next to the intercity bus stops, with 10 reserved spaces. Uber also operates at the airport, on the same terms.
At night
After the last 3G at 23:53 (23:10 at weekends), night bus N8 leaves the same stop roughly every half hour until 05:10, with one gap of about an hour after 02:19 on weeknights and after 03:29 on Friday and Saturday nights. The same tickets apply.
