Unless you’re content with sleeping on the floor, the airport is not a place for a lengthy layover. -Tom
VNO Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Vilnius Airport.
What to Expect
Vilnius Airport (code: VNO) has an older, Soviet-era terminal that resembles a train station. However, the terminal is currently being renovated. Amenities include several eateries and shops, including duty-free, but none are open 24 hours, so plan ahead if you’re camping out. WiFi is free in two-hour sessions, with a limit of three sessions per registered user. Economy class passengers can pay to enter an airport lounge.
Sleeping in Vilnius Airport
Travellers are restricted to the landside area once security checkpoints close for the night. Most seats are metal and have armrests, but arrive early to try for the few comfortable lounge chairs or padded benches. Floor sleepers will want a sleeping bag. Dress warmly or bring a blanket to combat cold temperatures. For uninterrupted sleep, hotels are nearby, including some in walking distance. See the Airport Hotels section below for locations.

Security & Safety
Sleeping in any airport can include a certain level of risk, especially when travelling alone. It’s important to take certain precautions to ensure your safety and the security of your valuables. Here are a few tips:
- Safety First. It’s a good idea to know where the security office is located and look for video cameras where you plan to sleep. You can also ask the security personnel for advice on the safest places to spend the night.
- Don’t Seclude Yourself. If you’re travelling alone, we recommend you stay near other travellers or close to security. This will help you feel more secure and deter potential thieves.
- Hide Your Valuables. It’s also important to hide your valuables. Don’t leave them out in plain view, as this could make you a target for theft. Additionally, if you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something or sleep with your bag up against a wall to make it harder for someone to access zippers and pockets. We have received reports of sleepers who woke up without their phones and laptop bags. The travellers were left with just their headphones and laptop bag strap.
- Stay Alert. It’s best to stay alert and awake if you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages to help you stay awake, and remember that you can always catch up on sleep during your flight. These simple precautions can help you enjoy a safe night at the airport.
