Navigating Vilnius Airport (VNO): Your Guide
Baggage Guidelines
Check your airline’s specific hand baggage rules before packing. Pack liquids in containers smaller than 100ml inside a transparent 1-liter bag (max 16x24cm). You must remove this bag during security screening. Avoid prohibited items in your hand baggage to ensure a smooth journey through the airport.
Keep your checked baggage under 32kg regardless of your airline’s allowance. Never pack valuables, electronics, documents, or bank cards in your checked luggage. Watch your bags at all times and pack them yourself to maintain security.
Contact your airline directly about transporting bicycles, skiing equipment, or other oversized items. Ask about requirements and fees before arriving at the airport to avoid unexpected complications.
