To help you plan your journey, we’ve put together some information on traveling from the UK to Lithuania and then on to Kaunas.
There are several convenient flight options from London to Lithuania. When searching for flights, consider these three main destinations:
Vilnius: The capital city of Lithuania, Vilnius is well-connected with direct flights from London. It’s a beautiful city with a rich history and worth a visit if you have the time.
Kaunas: Flying directly to Kaunas is the most convenient option as it’s the city where our wedding will be held. Direct flights might be less frequent than to Vilnius, but it saves you an additional travel leg once in Lithuania.
Riga, Latvia: While Riga is in a different country (Latvia), it’s relatively close to Lithuania and offers another option for your journey. Flights to Riga are often plentiful and can be a cost-effective choice.
Depending on where you land, here’s how you can reach Kaunas:

After the celebration, we have arranged an overnight stay for all attendees at the Vila, but please let us know if you will instead be making your own arrangements. There are plenty of nearby AirBnb’s or hotels if you prefer.
For those wanting to arrange their own accommodation, we recommend using Booking.com or Airbnb, with Booking.com being our preferred option for capturing better deals.
