<!- | '''Vilnius International Airport''' is the primary Lithuania's international airport (low-cost carriers fly to [[KUN|Kaunas]], and during summertime several airlines have connections to the seaside [[PLQ|Palanga]]. | ||
There are 300 regular flights per week in the winter and 320 regular flights per week in the summer, the rest being charter flights. The airport served just over 29 thousand flights in 2005, with 1.3 million passengers. | |||
The (roughly) north-south runway is 2.515 kilometres long and 50 meters wide, equipped with signal lights system. | |||
The Airport is built on the plateau in the 7 kilometres south of Vilnius. Some several West- and North- bound planes fly over the city center after lift-off or just before landing, offering splendid views to passengers but little plain detail to spoters. | |||
==Spotting Locations== | |||
None are designated, but the pre-check-in lounge in the departures hall and its upstairs restaurant offer large windows towards the runway. | |||
Part of the northern runway can be seen north of the terminal building. | |||
